English term or phrase: He is good at....
Having trouble with this phrase. Here is the complete sentence that I have for translation:

"He is good at riding and archery, and has a deep understanding of military affairs."

I'm thinking that there is a way to say a phrase like this that would only be familiar to native speakers. Thanks for any help!
