Despite being almost completely self-trained, Kyle became one of the New Jedi Order's most respected and powerful Jedi Masters. With relatively little lightsaber combat training, Kyle defeated seven trained Dark Jedi: Boc, Gorc, Pic, Maw, Sariss, Yun, and then Jerec himself - an amazing accomplishment for someone of his status of training. Kyle again showed great skill defeating the Dark Jedi Desann, a Dark Jedi with power that matched that of Luke Skywalker. It is believed that his raw power was increased to rival that of Luke Skywalker's when Katarn visited the Valley of the Jedi after first encountering Desaan. Kyle also showed a strong will, resisting the many taunts and mind tricks Desann used on him in the Yavin temple. During the events of The Disiples of Ragnos, Kyle had already become the strongest swordsman in the New Jedi Order, and successfully trained one of the youngest and unarguably most famous Jedi Knight during these events, Jaden Korr.
While Kyle's fighting style may be a fighting style created by the New Jedi Order, it's also possible that it is a personal style. If the player chooses the Dark Side in the computer game, Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Kyle uses many Force techniques, such as Force pulling the charcters lightsaber away during a battle, as well as many physical attacks such as putting his lightsaber away, grabbing the character with one hand, and punching them with the other. However, it should be noted that Kyle did learn many techniques from the spirits of Qu Rahn and the ancient Jedi Tal in the Valley of the Jedi such as the Flowing Water cut and the Falling Leaf attack.
During the events led by Desann, Kyle showed a great mastery of the Force by relearning powers of both the Light and Dark Side of the Force in a relatively short amount of time. His general mastery of the Force was incredible and surpassed all but a few of only the strongest Jedi Masters such as Luke Skywalker. Despite being a Jedi Master on the Council, Kyle Katarn can be considered to be something of a Grey Jedi.

Really? LOL... I don't suppose a "you're dead wrong" response would solve anything as you're completely confused. Kyle is nowhere near Luke in anything, if anybody is 2nd to Luke it is Kyp. Good try. Show me anythng that says Kyle remotely rivals Luke in anything.. Oh wait, it doesn't exist.

Darth Katarn if you got that from wikipedia, then you are using a non-canon source. Wikipedia has a mixture of fact and opinion, considering they stated DN Luke "possibly" surpassed Yoda, which we all know he did and by many leagues as well.
Kyle has shown nothing to put his saber skills on par with Luke. It's also possible you are comparing a DN Kyle to JA Luke, which would be more equal, but consider NJO Luke and DN Luke, surpass anyone of his era by leagues, the only jedi who comes close is DN Kyp.
Jacen could probably challenge Kyle, but I'm not sure if I see him coming out with a win. Corran would be annoying as hell, considering he can absorb energy output on the level of multiple thermal detonaters and he's supposdly a pretty decent duelist himself. But personally, I'd put him at 3rd or 4th in the NJO hierarchy.
Jacen gets pretty powerful under Vergere's tutelage, though. Before Traitor he probably is less powerful than Kyle. After..he is much more powerful. He rivals him. I am guessing it's Luke, Kyp, Jacen, Kyle, Corran. I agree with Ttd on this one.
