functional strength as in relation to your specific
I really think Fu pow has the right idea. Martial Artistry is not so much a feat of strength as it is skill, edurance and cariovascular. I guess this why at the most highly reputed school in the world for ma training ( Tagou martial arts academy - shaolin ), they have the compents of drills, acrobatics and form..............
If this is you definition of what MA or Fighting people should be then I would sugest following training reigemes of Cirque De Soile and other acrobatic troups.Others may see MA skill in modern day presented in active military groups (such as special op divisions).Others may see it as a mix of Asian culture, philiosphy and tradition(in training).You could argue forever (and I think many on forums spend haours doing just that) as to which is more "real" "better" etc, and in the end its largely determined by your own eniviroment and goals.
Eithier way all use weight training in some format.

I personally equate martial performance similarly to FuPow, and train accordingly.
Its been said before,but this is largely your opinion /perception of "how it is"."World Class Champions" at what?Who exactly are they competing against? Can they compete in Olympic Gymnastic apparatus events?
It seems this arguement comes round every few months and is continued by the factor that definitions are never set.
