I think it be more like, he know how to fight grim, and how to use a sword and shield but he hasn't been trained in how to use his grandfather's weapon, (that's why he sucked at putting it away.) The bit in the opening with Jaune looking at the statue, looking miserable and Pyrrha trying to reassure him suggests to me that Jaune may have got into his academy because of what he is (the descendent and look-alike of a legendary hero), not who he is.

I'm sure he knows how to fight. Stick him in any sparring circle and he'll do the job. It's just that there is a world of difference between this basic training and being ready to fight Grim in the wild. As for the rest...? Well, so long as he can use his equipment, no-one is going to be asking if he's using it properly because few people would know what it is outside a university history department.
