Because for one thing, she has barely any training in it to begin with and sucks at it. She had what, two weeks of actual cqc training?

Plus, it doesn't really mesh well with her. Yang works well as a cqc fighter since thats what she's always been trained as, a brawler. Ruby however is a weapons user. For her to try and become proficient in hand to hand when she works best with a weapon is like telling a samurai to practice boxing.

If she sucks at one thing, rather than waste time trying to get her to not suck at it, wouldn't it make more sense to play to her strengths and find an alternative that does so? Again, weapons are Ruby's forte. The only one on her team that has cqc as their forte is Yang, and among the heroes in general, her and Ren. Everyone else is at home with their weapons. Even Qrow, who has some level of bar brawling, works better with Harbinger than his fists. So why make Ruby try and be good at something she's not accustomed too?
