Knowledge is one thing, practice is another. Even though he can draw on Ozpin's knowledge without having to be taught, it still wouldn't be logical for him to immediately be able to break out awesome fighting moves just like that. So, I also wouldn't want Oscar to immediately be able to fight.

The best way I can explain it is... when we were all learning how to write the alphabet. The teacher showed us how to write the letters, but it took a while and a lot of practice for us to make our hand actually move the pencil in the right way to make each letter. The fact is that our brain has to actually figure out how to coordinate each individual muscle through trial and error in order to perfect an action. This is also why it takes practice to learn how to draw, and this is the basis of "muscle memory".

... So.. unless, by some asspull bullshit, Oscar also absorbed muscle memory from Ozpin, he should have to train and practice in order to turn Ozpin's knowledge of fighting into actual ability.
