But strength IS required still, especially doing inhuman things like what Sephiroth is doing, even martial artists that are about 70 years old cannot crack many bricks because they lack the strength, even if their technique is honed perfect, i know this because my dads friend teaches, and i've seen pictures of him when he was younger cracking multiple concrete things, but he cannot do it anymore because he is quite old now, his technique is still there but his body cannot exert the strength anymore.
