Her training was to learn how to fight decently. Not to become some physical powerhouse. Ruby also got training before Beacon, from Qrow and likely Tai. And yet, her punches aren't capable of pushing even the most generic faceless WF mooks.

In Weiss's case though, her style is based on speed, not strength, and when not depending on speed it depends on Dust. So even compared to Ruby she pales in comparison in terms of physical strength.

Weiss is strong, but only compared to a girl of similar/lower age who didn't get decent combat training.
