Jason had only six months of training of gladius, but still he matched 5 years of Percy's training with Riptide. Not to mention Jason has more versatility with weapons, while Percy is only skilled in swordfighting, Jason is skilled with sword, gladius, spear, pilum, and even improvised weapons.

Hate Jason or don't hate Jason, he's a little more skilled than Percy. He has to be. Jason trained with Lupa his whole life so stop only counting his time in the legion. And we've only ever seen Percy fight with a sword because his comes back magically. But that doesn't mean he an't fight with other weapons. And as I said before, Percy was doing better with his sword in that fight, but Jason summoned lightning and Blackjack knocked him out. Even Piper-his supreme fangirl-thought Percy was winning. Jason has better technique for looks, but ultimately Percy's, even if wild at times, is a bit more effective. Exactly, that's my point, Percy's weapon always comes back to him, so there's no need for him to pratice with other weapons, if he needs to prepare for a fight. That's not Percy's fault, but it does have cons too, as Percy barely is even seen with a weapon that's not a sword. Also, what Romans have advantage over Greeks, is that they have more weapons. While Greeks has swords, spears, knives, archery, and shields, the Romans has all of that, plus pilums, calvary swords, and gladius. Also like you said, Jason has been training for about 12 years, all year-round. So he must have had at least some experiences with all these weapons. I'm sorry, but Jason is just much more disciplined than Percy when it comes to skill.

Which probably makes Jason the most skilled fighter out of the Seven(arguably)
