If I'm not mistaken, weren't the first Hundred disciples of Buddha, warriors? And wasn't Buddha himself trained as a warrior?

no & no again
the Prince Siddhartha was trained in a princely manner to
go thru the motions , but I do not think anything hard core.
He was the apple of his Daddy's eye (the King)
The business of a warrior is to kill , the King of the Shakyas did not want his boy becoming acquainted with Death , as he remembered the Sage's prophesy about the possibility of the baby boy becoming a great renunciate.
The first 'disciples' were fellow sadhus and various other
scholars and guru groupie types , a few Brahmin's and some
merchants and the like .
Maybe you are thinking of later , the Great King Asoka ?
After leading his Mauryan people to conquer most of India
he experienced a revelation after speaking to a monk after a great battle , wherein the monk ask him : " O Great King , you have such power! You have put to death so many thousands of men , can you bring the life back to this one child?"
(holding up a dead baby) Of course he could not and that started him on the way to becoming the worlds foremost Buddhist practitioner and peaceful monarch of his time.
