Well... Its not really telling him how to beat him. Your assuming that they fought at all. We have yet to see any of the training Mihawk gave him. (Unless you count the fights with the ape warriors that were shown after he agrees to train him) He may have had a totally different way of training him, we don't know. But if he DID spar with him, than its not really showing him how to win, more like giving him an idea of how he fights. Just because you know how someone fights does not mean you can necessarily win.
