I can't stand skywars on Java Edition. Everytime I fight someone, I always get flung off. No matter what armour or what weapons I use, I get killed most of the time. If I have super good armour and Im versing someone with very bad armour, I may kill them but then Im left with a few hearts, finished off by some guy ender pearling to me or bowing me. I used to be good at PVP. I try strafing, however If I circle someone they just counter it and then kill me, or I try w-tapping and they just don't get affected and knockback me off the map with a wooden sword. Please give me some good tips. Thanks!

Your request is descriptive enough; however, not specific as to how you play. In order for someone to give advice, one must observe your play style and scenarios. I don't want to be that type of person who says it, but it can't be stressed enough than it already is:
Practice, Practice, Practice- A wise admin once said.
A few more tips I can give based on your request,
- Avoid being backed up by an incoming force. Meaning, don't back up towards a ledge and then try and confront because it will make it easier for the oppressor to get a deadly combo leading to your demise (either by fall or by the combo - a double whammy as me and da crew call it). You can avoid being double whammied by putting support blocks behind you and strafe away from the support block so that you can trap he/she into a corner for a super combo, or build over them with a large platform, forcing them to come up and giving you the upper-hand advantage by knocking them down or combo-ing them.
- Choose your flight or fight tactics wisely. If someone will full diamond is charging you and you have nothing but a wooden sword, well, you're doomed if you try to fight, so run. But, if you see a person with gold armour charging you who's been on a killing spree lately, you'll take serious damage but probably win with your full diamond set so prep a way to heal right after combat to avoid getting 3rd partied.
- Practice.Yes, I know it's annoying, but it helps a lot. We all were garbage at first, but got better over time. Recognize that this is a really long-term goal and shouldn't be rushed. You should take advantage of knowing how to use the fishing rod to your advantage, learn how to strafe and recognize possible counters to know your risks, and practice with the bow (I suggest using Badlion client's bow crosshair, it's really good and nice to look at). Lastly, work on your combo and 1v1 PvP skills. There are plenty of server out there that provide this service, all you have to do is reach out to those who surpass your skills and ask for guidance - I've done this before.
Know the aspect of why you're playing.
Do you want to play to win the skywars game but be garbage at your combat skills still?Or do you want to play to get better at your skills, but get clapped on the journey to your goals?
Knowing the aspect of why you're playing really helped me go from being really upset over a simple loss or mistake to being optimistic and asking myself what I could've done differently to prevent the same outcome from occuring again. And improving my gameplay. There's always room for improvement, you just have to reflect and analyze in different perspectives.
In all honesty, you have to lose a hundred times before you can learn to win, but losing is better than not trying.
