I think you kinda missed the point... I wasn't talking about fighting skills, simply that as a veteran he prefers to remember his battles. If I remember correctly he has numerous scars across his body from past conflicts. Even though the crappy filler arc was just that, it showed he could still put up a damn good fight one-handed anyway. At least I didn't come up with a random theory like, lets say, it can't be regenerated because he sacrificed it to use the Kido? Another point - Ryuujin Jakka doesn't exactly require a full on two handed swing to be powerful. Hell, he cracked Wonderweiss with only Ikkotsu and that's one-handed.
