His parents being dead…or at least the ones that fight, seems to be the simplest answer to why he is so combat inexperienced…but Jaune outright talks about both of them in the span of 2 episodes with no hint of sadness…I mean he did ask Ruby to drop it when it came to his mother but that’s more likely linked to embarrassment than anything else.

 Call me cruel but I think they gave up on him being a warrior when they saw he wasn’t very good at it and didn’t unlock his aura in order to not encourage him to pursue that career because they were afraid he would get himself killed, which worked until he found his dad’s old sword and decided to…take matters into his own hands…shall we say.
