Hello, i will make it short

I have a immigrant and he is a novice wrestler. I want him to be a maceman. I equipped him with a mace and he carries it around, but so far in training he is still called a wrestler, has no mace skill, and sometimes is leading wrestling demonstrations (that last one might be okay i guess... but oh well!)

How do I get him to train his mace skill? I mean, does he automatically still wrestle even though he has a mace because he has wrestling skill? Or is he training his mace skill, just it is taking him awhile?

If any of your other military dwarves has the mace skill, it will get trained eventually.
Alternatively, you could try having him fight something.

You could also specificly assign him a mace with the equpment screen he will be called a wresler i think until his mace skills exeed his wresling one. also i think wresling helps if he looses his weapon somehow but i think that can ongly happen to edged/pointy weapons being left in the wound althogh im not entirely sure.

Just give it some time, even training/sparring alone should be enough for him to become a maceman.

I had this problem with axedwarves. I armored em up in steel, and sent em shrieking at a goblin ambush. Half died, the rest are now adequate or more, and they're teaching the new recruits. Patience is not a dwarven virtue.

There are no stupid military questions, only stupid military dwarves

I got a similar issue with my first squad. I equipped 10 dwarves with axes and iron armor/shields and set them to train. Three of them (including the squad leader/military commander) are at least adequate in axedwarf skill, but instead teaching with axes the soldiers obviously prefer to train/learn general combat skills like dodging/striking/fighting (including ocassional wrestling sessions from one non-axedwarf) and practising individual training sessions... not even the armor or shield skill has improved in months.

The recruit's Axedwarf ability levels up only moderately , keeping the students within dabbling level. Instead they learn how to strike and dodge... somehow strange. Perhaps splitting up the train orders or the squad in whole to minor groups will help to enforce axedwarf/sparring sessions. Micromanagement here I come.
