Well, physical strength doesn't necessarily equate to fighting prowess. Remember what Ruby said when she first talked to Ozpin?

"I was complete garbage before [Qrow] took me under his wing"

And what would Qrow have taught her to use? The scythe (as we can see because...you know...Crescent Rose being a scythe). She has no knowledge whatsoever of hand-to-hand combat.

Though I agree with Phantom, she probably used really light-weight materials.
