As for the fight against Tyrian, there's the fact that RNJR are still student-level. They would've been second-year students if Beacon hadn't fallen. Meanwhile, Qrow is a full-fledged Huntsman who had already graduated over a decade ago (Yang is 17, and I doubt Raven had her while attending Beacon, which means she and her twin brother graduated at least 17 years ago). Tyrian is at the level of a full-fledged Huntsman. One purpose in the RNJR vs Tyrian fight was to show that RNJR are still student-level and need more practice and experience.

If Jaune is learning how to do an Aura arc like some of us theorize, then that'll help him become a better fighter, as he'll have a ranged option in his repertoire. I dunno about you guys, but I tend to go after ranged attackers first because it's annoying when they're shooting me in the back while I'm trying to fight the close-range fighters.
