Somebody be trained to something?

Leo had been trained to arms, and was known to be deadly with bravo’s blade and dagger. (A Feast for Crows)

Hi. This is an example of the pattern “somebody be trained to something”. So when we use this pattern, usually, what does the “something” refer to? (For example, “he is trained to medicine”?)

Thank you.
