Well evidently no he couldn't. The whole set-up was Anakin's arrogance making him think he could bypass Obi-Wan's superior position. There is no point you saying he could 'just' have done anything. If he could have done he would.

The ground was unstable. You saw how Anakin tried grasping at it but it crumbled. Maybe he could have hopped up there, not allowing the ground to fall apart beneath him, but he would have been stopped at the top, and the ground would have slid from under him. Or he was attempting to use a massive smash down at Obi-Wan's head, using the brute force that was Djem-So's signature move.

Yoda was toying with Dooku although it does look funny sometimes.
In Jedi/Sith terms>There is no such thing as slashing in the back.
You've got to remind that there is a thing called Jedi-sense as in sensing the opponents movements(with a lightsaber).
If slashing in the back was so easy, then Vader could've slashed Palps on numerous occasions.
The slashing part comes when an opponent is at the end of it's energy in combat and is caught off balance, mostly that would be the defeating part of combat(well, at least for one of the combatants).
To get Yoda off balance you have to be something more than Dooku in my oppinion.

Yoda's a clown, prancing around, jumping over Dooku and shit. What's that all about. How are you successfully gonna defend yourself while doing something like that in reality of swordfighting?
