A lot of players tends to train on weak animals with weapons or tools that do low damage, however by doing so you will lose out on gaining weapon skill so it's rather a trade off for playing it safe.
The below chart Best strategy to gain good weapon and fight skill is what to find zones which has a high count of spawn with the desired animal will be type and keep training on them with your weapon and left hand empty of any weapon or shield. The goblin spawn point is a good idea for gaining optimal skill at your levelexample. (Feel free Another thing to edit.)(This chart keep in mind is assuming that you have decent weapons can gain skill from a certain animal up to a certain skill level, from that one you get diminished returns, that is training will start to get slower and slower. The skill level seems to vary a bit but is generally a decent set range of armor-5 (skill levels under the animals skill level) to about +10 ~ 15 above it.)
