schooled
Trained with discipline
Schooled means educated or trained, often in a particular skill or discipline: She was schooled in classical piano from age five.
In informal use, to school someone is to defeat them decisively or teach them a humbling lesson: He got schooled on the basketball court.
The slang sense carries a note of embarrassment for the one being taught.
