Ah.

It's a popular belief that Aura is one thing that helps enhance a Huntsman's strength and that normal civilians aren't as physically strong as Huntsmen because they don't have their Aura unlocked. It would explain why they're able to jump so high into the air and easily lift and swing heavy weapons. Though, Ruby could still swing Crescent Rose when Tyrian took out her Aura. Qrow could still swing his weapon, as well, though he looks like he could be fairly muscular. We can't really look to Yang and Nora, since their Semblances enhance their strength, though Nora was still wielding Magnhild after the Nuckelavee broke her Aura.
