Lighter weapons are easier to draw and carry on your person, but it comes with the limits of close combat. They're more useful for surprise attacks, or tight spaces.
If you two are planning to use larger weapons like a battle axe or sword, it would be better to stay out of areas that are too closely confined for you to swing the weapon properly. The greatest strength of those weapons is their long reach - as long as your opponent's weapon can't reach you, you'll be safe, but if you can't use it to its full reach, it could become a hinderance instead.

[ Maybe if they're together...it's less likely they'll be targeted. Something like that. ]
I'll learn whatever I can from you both.

Don't get caught in small places
Keep your opponent away from you
