Also she was a good fighter in season 2 after her mother died and before her supposed possession would have taken place. There is just no reasonable explanation for her level of skill.

No, she was a good archer in S2, which was a skill she had probably pursued for a long time. She was not depicted as having mad hand-to-hand combat skills. She used a knife, but did not seem like some kind of master with it. And until S3b we never actually saw her use a gun of any kind.

Again, some of her skills, like the archery and gymnastics, are the kinds of sports that kids can learn at school. Many schools have sports teams for both. I knew girls that started gymnastics in grade school. But we had no evidence until 3a really that Allison had taken any kind of martial arts training. She talks about Hunter training, but we never see it, and the timeline in-show is so short. In real life it takes years to earn a black belt in most martial arts styles!

As for evidence of possession, who is to say what constitutes that? Until Stiles went and ripped the fireflies right out of the Oni it just seemed like he was having hallucinations of some kind due to his sleep disorder. But Allison keeps having hallucinations of Kate, which is a far more obvious implication of possession than Stiles' dreams of school.
