The dragoons in the trailer are probably life-long soldiers and cream of the crop. They're the ones on the front lines right now killing dragons to protect their country. It's not unreasonable to say "Oh, that's what world-class dragoons are capable of."
That's not to say that every single dragoon out there learns how to do it instantly.
Pretty much every single bit of this. They can do that, but they're frontline warriors. People often take age for granted. If your character is in their 20s, they won't be a master like the ones in the trailer. And they sure won't be a master at one and decent in another. That kind of skill takes a lot of time and dedication, far more than someone with eight years of training (assuming they even start at 16) would have.
