I feel that Ren's battle against the Taijitu simply showed he wasn't very good with his weapons and/or they're not very powerful. Once he lost them he took it down handily. We haven't seen anyone without a weapon at this point. It might be manditory to have one. Ren may prefer hand-to-hand and just got perficient in their use rather then exceptional like everyone else. *shrug*  We'll have to see him fight some more before we can come to any solid conclusions.
