The food fight is a really bad example to compare, as for all we know, everyone likely used the minimum amount of aura required to weaponize their "equipment", focusing entirely on defense to keep it fun at the very least.

Again, the Paladin has no aura and likely only dealt damage enough that Yang can walk off, but enough to make her semblance strong enough.

Neo, however, has aura. And I'm gonna go ahead and say, those two kicks? Stronger than the punch the Paladin delivered.
