Both characters have serious skills. Swords like Brienne are not light and are actually somewhat clumsy to wield. Someone fast and small like Arya could get inside the reach of Brienne. IRL, I've seen stuff like this happen when watching a really tall karate black belt spar with a really short black belt. The short was able to get inside the reach of the tall one.
For those who've read the books, it's thought that the lady in green with red hair in the archway is a tribute to Lady Stoneheart, who was left out of the show.
