IRL the age most men were knighted was like, 16 or 17. Training begins from when they were like 8, if I'm remembering right. On top of that, there's no reason why an aspiring knight as old as twenty-five shouldn't have some form of combat training or experience. At the age of 25. Even our modern military can have an 18 year old battle-ready in just a few months.

I think 'Knight' was just a term, and we aren't actually 'Sir whoja' because in them days women where never knighted at all. The mere idea of it would get you shunned from society.
