And a weapon user giving the ocasional kick to enemies does not make them a Hand-to-Hand Fighter at all.

He uses his weapon like 60% of the time, 35% he uses clones, with 5% being kicks of some sort. And this Volume he's been using his clones more and more. The most weaponless he's ever fought was this Volume against Illya, and only because he didn't have his weapon. In Volume 1 Chapter 16, during the dock fight, Sun uses his hands, legs, and tail to fight before switching to his weapon (hope they bring back gun-chucks this Volume). Also everytime we see Sun about to fight (even though we don't see the actually fight) he always starts in a position where he is preparing to use his fists, he's always in that stance. If Sun didn't have his weapon with him because he can fight without it, unlike most people in RWBY.
