Yes we never see her be trained to fight, but that doesn't mean she never learned how to fight. We know she was trained due to how easy she could kill the mount wheather guards in season 2. Also it is definitely possible that Lincoln could have trained her during the six month time jump. Again he was a soldier so he would know how to fight. Also it is definitely possible that on the ark Bellamy trained her in self defense In the event the guard found her. So in that case she would have a leg up on hand to hand combat. Going to school would have nothing to do with her learning grounder language, because the ark didn't teach grounder language. Besides Bellamy probably taught her things, and Lincoln taught her the grounder language.

On the ñote of skairipa she did earn that name. She killed numerous grounders reapers, and mt. Men in the first 2 seasons. Along with 4 ice nation warriors and Pike and a couple of his supporters. Then look at how many people she killed in season 4. Next you'll say Clarke doesn't deserve to be Wanhada.

Yes we know that Lincoln trained some skaikru to fight. However we only know of Harper (Was in arkadia) Monroe (Dead) and Bellamy. Sure he took Lincoln down easy, but I don't he'd be able to take down Roan that easy. Kane wasn't the head of the guard, and I doubt they used much hand to hand combat since that would use too much strenuous activity which is prohibited on the ark to preserve oxygen. Octavia was the best choice she had the best chance of winning having been trained by Indra a clan chief. Also they we're doing things with her character by character development. Clarke went to Roan because even though Octavia was the best choice she would probably have died against Luna if she wasn't a main character. Octavia has always struggled with where she belongs, she fought for as skaikru became at the time the grounders would never except her as a champion, also they all Probably choice their champions.

AGAIN OCTAVIA IS NOT THe COMMANDER.

I honestly think you just don't like Octavia, and your being too nit picky.
