I had the same issue at first, but once I learned that the game actually expects you to spend some time in the training ring with Bernard to both level up Henry’s fighting and build your own skills, it got a lot better. The game will let you do one round of training and move on, but you should do quite a few to level up, and you should revisit the training ring periodically as you level more to learn new techniques.
the ring fighting also could be easily scripted, but i personally did not like the sword fighting much and always went for a bow. it also allows you for much easier divide and conquer approach during multiple-enemy encounters.
