The problem is, Jaune's wounds "healing" in that scene was actually an animation error. They said he was still supposed to be bruised and such and that he didn't heal.

I kinda think that his Semblance could essentially be like a reflect spell in JRPGs. Instead of just being a shield, it bounces the damage from an attack back at the attacker, which is why Cardin's hand was hurt when he punched Jaune.

It wouldn't be too surprising if that's what it is, since Monty actually said that he liked to think of things in RWBY in the frame of mind of an RPG, especially when he was setting up teams and such. After all, Weiss' time dilation glyph was even equated to the haste spell seen in Final Fantasy games.
