I dont know where the first place i have heard the saying "No skill is a skill unless it's effortless," or something similar.

it is in a whole lot of kung fu movies for sure, and some Buddhist websites and so, but what exactly does it mean?

You have to put effort into things. Even if you get so good you can excel without trying, then you still have to put effort into practice.

Didn't know where to put this, but it seems a very tao way of thinking so i put it here.

I've also heard something like 10,000 kicks practiced one or one kick practiced 10,000 times. Don't dwell too deep into it.
