They're more often than not fighting Grimm, where fighting without a weapon is basically useless. Pretty much the rest of their time spent fighting is still typically armed and if they are disarmed then chances are they're fighting people who are both stronger than them AND armed. Do you really think a bit of H2H training would've helped Ruby against Mercury?

Point is, unless you're Yang where H2H is pretty much the fighting style you use, it's too much work to learn it to any degree of usefullness when you could spend time mastering the style you use all the time.
