Depends on the White Fang's training methods. Since they seem fairly close, they've been together for a few years, and if Adam were merely a year older, then he'd be learning while attempting to teach her his craft. Surely a recipe for disaster. Therefore, I assume that he's several years older, because he needs to be an established operative in order to properly instruct an apprentice.

The White Fang is a terrorist organization, yes, but I don't see why we can't judge the quality of their elites. Adam, at least, is part of their direct action group, and is thus expected to be able to perform operations like the train job, like assassinations, and like sabotage, all of which might require nontrivial individual combat skill. Plus, we do have a definite data point for their high-level operatives. Her name is Blake Belladonna. Given that she was Adam's apprentice, and she was admitted into Beacon, then her White Fang training was equivalent to a combat school, and she got that training from Adam. And why do you make a distinction between a terrorist organization and a criminal organizaition?
