I've never directly viewed Ren as particularly weak OR lacking stamina - during the encounters in Emerald Forest, Ren has actually recovered quite well between fights, and even after getting slammed into stone, he still kept fighting, and the fall at the end looked purely for comedy, if not for the fact he was the ONLY ONE who sustained what could be considered an injury in the ruins showdown. And in Volume 2 where he "food-fought" with Yang, he actually held his ground nearly toe to toe, only being pushed back due to Yang's 'aggresive' fighting behavior, attacking too rapidly to be countered, and maintained resilience before sustaining a crushing hit ((which ANYONE could have been stunned by)).

At his core, I like to imagine Ren as a more focusing, precise martial artist, as opposed to a reckless aggresor. Tactical-wise, I'm thinking Ren is more of a roguish huntsman, which is supported by his close-range weapons and very quiet attitude which could promote observative traits, where he premeditates his attacks on the 'cracks-in-the-armor', persay - as shown against the Deathstalker's tail and the Taijitu's heads.

That's not to say he doesn't have flaws, because everyone does, but I rewatched the episodes recently and saw a lot of what people said didn't add up completely, and I felt I could toss my two cents in.
