It's a very good point that you bring up- Jaune has had some training, and the source can only be speculated. I'm betting on it being his dad- and since I don't have a very high opinion of Jaune's parents (like, seriously) I'm going to say his dad gave up on him because he seemed so terrible. He's never set foot in a combat school (I'm sure he said that, I haven't watched EP 12 in a while) and I'm pretty sure he'd be much better if he self-taught, by my logic anyway. He probably did apply for a combat school, or at least asked his parents to let him go, but either he didn't get into combat school or his parents didn't allow him. I'm going to say his parents didn't allow him, because there's no reason he couldn't have gotten into a combat school as a kid. I mean, their not born warriors, everyone would start out terrible- I doubt they would reject a ten-year-old because he couldn't slay an Ursa. Now, I actually have a theory of how the whole Jaune-didn't-get-into-combat-school thing, but it's very long and I'm sure loads of people smarter than me would find huge, gaping holes in it, so I'm not going to bother posting it. But good point.
