 **Warning: spoilers of A Song of Ice and Fire.**

I was reading through this site that you should avoid telling what a character is by using other characters, example _"Dan is the funniest person I know" - Jack_, instead, you should show that Dan is funny, "show don't tell".

So I was wondering, is Jaime Lannister an example of this? through A Song of Ice and Fire we hear how good of a swordsman Jaime is, over and over, but he never actually does anything that would prove this, he is captured in one of the first fights we see him in (might actually be the first, and we don't even actually see/read the fight), and even here we read how many people he killed before being captured, and yet again we're being told, not shown, and then he's captive for a while and ends up getting his hand cut, in which point we can't see him doing any fighting anymore because now he lost his fighting hand...

Is Jaime Lannister a perfect example of telling not showing, or did I get the concept wrong?
