From watching to Original Trilogy I was always under the impression that Yoda wasn't physically powerful, but intensely mentally powerful.

That was how the original Yoda was... his power was never in jumping and flipping around like a martial artist, it was in being able to flawlessly lift and control something as large as a ship with nothing but a thought. He was supposed to be a tiny, physically weak little creature with an enormous connection with the Force - not a Kung Fu expert.
