I think its the other way around. Yang hasn't really shown a lot of control over her Semblance, as far as we know it activates automatically whenever she takes damage, and she might not be able to prevent it from activating. Besides, she even activates her Semblance unintentionally when she gets angry.

Adam, on the other hand, can absorb attacks and store the energy for an unspecified amount of time, being able to use his Semblance whenever he wants. The disadvantage of his Semblance is that apparently, the more energy he absorbs, the more time it takes him to charge his attack. And it didn't look to me like he was struggling to sheathe his sword, he only kept it like that to prevent Blake from shooting him in the face while he was monologuing.

Also, Yang doesn't seem particularily forgiving, she is actually the most vicious fighter of her team. It's just that Adam is much more ruthless than she is.
