It really didn't make sense how Hipolyta didn't want to train her to fight. She's supposed to be the weapon, and even if you think that she'll never need to fight Ares, you're an island full of warrior women who know nothing else except to fight. Why wouldn't you want to train the most powerful one among you? I feel like that whole "she's special but she should never know what she is" part was handled very weakly.

It made perfect sense. Hippolyta knows how powerful Ares is so Hippolyta doesn't want her daughter fighting Ares. Zeus created Themyscira to hide the Amazons from Ares. As long as Diana stays on the island, Ares can't find her. So Hippolyta doesn't want Diana to start training and learning that her destiny is to leave the island and fight and kill Ares. That's why Hippolyta wants to keep Diana in the dark about her true heritage and her destiny.
