We never see Emma learn and somehow got almost as good as Rumple which I can shenanigans because that makes zero sense. She only used a sword once and somehow she's that good. Forgive me if I don't believe that. I mean she never used a sword in season 3 for anything good and never seen in 4, so I call that as nonsense.

But she's still up there with Snow who sort of rarely use swords.

Archery it goes probably Robin > Merida > David = Snow = Granny Yay!

It's all close to me. Mulan does seem to use her sword better than David, who loves to throw his. We saw Snow use a sword when battling Cora and in a Flashback of "The Evil Queen" episode when fighting two black knights. We even saw her fight with a sword in the second last episode of season 1. Let's face it. Emma may be learning to swordfight, but she is still second best compared to her parents. I see Charming and Mulan seem like equal swordfighters to me. Snow was mostly archery for that battle and then used Mulan's sword at the end, but she didn't really attack. I think Snow is better in close combat and hand to hand combat.

Mulan is a trained warrior and David is apparently Anna-trained, lol. But I think they are all closely equal.
