FWIW, and yes 2 days is still silly, but sokka is legit a master with his boomerang so he does already have the good coordination and reflexes that would go into swordsmanship. Also "Master" is a bit of an oversell since he demonstrates in his test fight that he's still not nearly on the master's level. What makes him so good at swordsmanship is just applying skills he already had to it, like fighting dirty, situational awareness, etc. But the actual sword part, iirc it's not like he was out there on an equal playing field, he was still very much inferior to his master at the actual sword part of it.
