Pretty sure no one at Beacon did it on their own, especially considering there are school that teach combat. Jaune is just being an idiot.

As far as a teacher, his father isn't the only guy in the world that uses a sword. If Jaune really wanted to become a skilled fighter, his dad shouldn't have been his one and only option. He could have gone to a library to read about and practice fighting moves. Maybe found a part time job to pay an instructor. Maybe do what Master Splinter did and just watch a master at work. There are a ton of other things Jaune could have done if he wanted to be a skilled fighter, but now that he is surrounded by skilled fighters he won't accept help.

In fact that might be what happened with his father. Maybe his father tried to train him, but Jaune was so obsessed with become a hero that he tried to find the easy way. As a result, he couldn't be trained correctly and his father refused to train him because Jaune refused to learn.
