She could learn to fight after being disarmed, sure....

....Or she could just learn to use her Super-Fucking-Speed to recover her weapon quickly. Or give a simple kick sufficient speed to make it powerful.

Super Speed is one of the strongest superpowers ever designed. With the proper application and reasonable creativity, one can effectively simulate other powers, most easily Super Strength, just by giving each punch a great boost in speed.

And that's before considering how her "Super Speed" doubles as Zenbonsakura now, so she can also fly and divide in multiple rose petals.

So overall:

So far, everytime she got her ass kicked for at least a while, aside from the WF Mook in Mt.Glenn, it's been in situations where even if she knew CQC as a last resort, she would've gotten her ass kicked anyway. Especially against fighters like Merc, who specialize in it.

Meanwhile, if she focused more on her Semblance, she can very easily cover lack of skill at CQC by doing what The Flash does: Amplify the speed behind each punch to amplify the force delivered, effectively Super Strength thanks to Isaac Newton. And because it'd be X times faster, evading such a thing would also be much harder.
