He has showed improvement.Though his is more subtle.He when from not being able to fight for shit,to being able to take out a Ursa with out help,to be able to hold his own against other hunters in the tourament. Yes, he took down an Ursa without help, and that is progress, though his way of doing so was less... elegant and skillful than anyone else's, since, as I said, he really just swung wildly and screamed until it died. It's akin to button mashing in a video game. It's something that doesn't take any particular skill or finesse and can kill enemies, but it won't work on all enemies.

As for holding his own against tournament competitors, that's kind of debatable. He mostly defended himself, gave orders, and threw Pyrrha into the air. His teammates did most of the actual attacking. At this rate, it seems like Jaune's most comfortable placement would be just telling other warriors what they should do, and even then, he may need to get some pointers from Ruby on that. Ruby has been shown to have formulated team attacks ahead of time for future battles and showed the capability to formulate a battle plan, whereas Jaune sees an opportunity and directs his teammates accordingly, instead of coming up with a solid plan. His and Ruby's methods of directing their teammates' efforts on the battlefield differ, so if Ruby doesn't do quite as well in the "thinking on your feet and taking advantage of opportunities" style, then maybe they can give each other pointers.
