The two are playing there best hand given the situation: Jon is fighting multiple attackers with no experience so he needs to conserve energy and be aware of the other 6. Almond is fighting a super well trained knight with a unpredictable weapon so he needs to use his speed.
Movies simply can't be realistic even when they try. 0:24 Jon stabs the armor with the tip of a blunt weapon and the person rolls onto the floor... That risked damaging the weapon, even braking it. Giving how much they costed I wouldn't have done it. Aemond fights against a flail... That is a rare weapon, for sure something you wouldn't use on foot. How do you make a flail a training weapon? You can't dull it and you must use a certain degree of force to make it swing and afterwards you haven't any control on the swing. How many chances for a training, it would be safer to train with sharp swords. Furthermore how is it he hasn't a shield in the other hand? One hand swings the flail and the other just hangs around?
The most unrealistic part is that someone would use a flail in a sparing against a sword. Flails may look cool and all but they're horrible weapons for dueling and in general.

Jon is more realistic in rl

Aemond seems much more agile
Jon aka Aegon Targaryen would obliterate Almond
