Captain Marvels fighting skills?

Deemed worthy to become his champion by the ancient wizard SHAZAM, whenever he utters the word, "SHAZAM!", young Billy Batson is powered with the abilities of six Elders as he's struck by a thunderbolt, transforming into the World's Mightiest Mortal that ever lived, Captain Marvel!

If he got super strength stamina speed power courage and wizdom, then dose he have super fighting skills?

Not really.
He has developed some basic hand to hand abilities (through experience) to my knowledge but I don't recall any formal training.

Do You think when he becomes Captain Marvel he gets a little advanced fighting skills from Hercules or Zeus

No.
Those 2 only provide 'power'. The only insight ability is provided by Solomon (Wisdom).

Cap doesn't seem to get any added fighting skills from the elders.

This is another example of the writers and editors at DC not fully using/mining Billy's power sources (the SHAZAM Elders) for abilities they could easily explain Billy having.
They could add the strength of Atlas and Zeus to Hercules'.
They could add the stamina of Hercules, Zeus and Mercury to Atlas'.
They could add the wisdom of Zeus to Solomon's.
They could add the courage of Hercules and Zeus (as well as their durability) to Achilles'.
They could give Cap many more abilities (nearly anything) and explain them as the power of Zeus.
They could add the speed of Zeus to Mercury's.

They could legitimately amp all of Cap's current powers/abilities and give him a few more.
But they won't because they don't want him to become inarguably more powerful than Superman, imo.

Superman has fighting skills, but Billy still kicks his a$$
