So this is who's the better instructor? That's unkown as we've never seen any of them teach. If it's who'd win in a fight, the answer is, uh, hmm, I can't really say, maybe Cin Drallig, Dooku listed him as one of the Jedi who could teach Grievous a lesson, and I think Grievous is both ahead of Sora (hence why he's the General, and not Sora) and above Maul (who beat Bondara). I know that's abc, but it's really all we've got on Cin, so. Close, though, I'm not really sure.
The again, why don't know why Cin could teach Grievous a lesson, maybe he only could because he is a Soresu Master or is really strong with the Force or something. If that's the case, then Sora is the best of the 3 with a blade. He *might* be anyways.
I would personally say, that Anon is the weakest hear, with a blade, it would be between Sora and Drallig, where i would give the edge to Cin Drallig, he was mentioned of possibly taking Grievous.

The canon says his skill is second to no one, not that he is the best swordsman. You can have all the skills in the world, if you can use them in the fight properly, it means nothing. And that skill second to no one, could mean, he is the technically, or maybe the most strikes per a second, but he is definitely not above, in his time(TPM) in the Jedi order, the likes of Yoda, Dooku, probably Mace to.

Like i said, skill can mean many of things and Yoda is much better then Anon with sabers, he is definitely not the best fighter with a blade. Yoda is Mauls superior and Anon realized immediately, from the beginning of the fight, that Maul is better.

So? Maul is just that good.
And at that time Anoon would thrash Mace (seeing as he did that to Qui Gon, who was on par with Mace) and most likely Dooku.
Anoon's apprentice said that Anoon was the best fighter she had ever seen, and we know that she has seen Yoda fight, at least in demonstrations where three Jedi Masters couldn't even get close to Yoda (one being Depa, a Vaapad master). We also know Bondara knows the lightsaber better than even Yoda, because his skill is second to none, even Yoda.
I agree that, most likely, Anoon would beat Mace, however, I find it very unlikely that he could thrash Mace. I remember the quote about him besting Jinn in sparring matches but I don't recall it saying anywhere that he beat Jinn easily. That being said, I find it very unlikely that he'd beat Dooku in a saber duel, though I will say I don't know how strong Jedi Master Dooku is.
Yeah, well, Kenobi said the same thing about Jinn being the best he'd ever seen, does that mean Jinn's the best?
So you think that Maul > anybody else in star wars with a lightsaber? Lol, no, the author of Shadow Hunter just didn't know how good Yoda was with a blade, using what we've seen them done proves that Yoda > Maul with a blade and therefor also is ahead of Bondara. Yoda disarmed Sidious in a saber duel, Maul was only close to Sidious.
Unfortunately, I didn't save the quote in my profile, but I am pretty sure it didn't say that (and it would make sense if it didn't because Anoon shouldn't be able to easily beat Jinn).
Wasn't Kenobi present when Yoda evaded Depa, Plo and another Jedi's blades (can't remember who the third Jedi was)?
Yup, hoewver, what we see in the films contradicts what SH says about Anoon being number 1 with a blade.
Who is somewhat close, Bondara and Yoda? Maybe a little bit close.
Maul is very good, one of the best ever, i argued for him, numerous times, but, answer me this, do you really think, he is better then Yoda, in the time of Shadow Hunter, of course not. Yoda, at this time, is the best and if Maul defeated Anon comfortably, easily, then Yoda, would trash him. And Dooku at that time, was probably second only, to Yoda in the order. And where does it say, that Qui-Gon and Mace are equals in the TPM. Show me the quote.
There is just one problem with that, she is biased toward her master, just like Obi-Wan was to his, when he said, that Jinn is the best swordsman, he ever seen. Do you really think that Anon could evade those 3 masters, like Yoda did. And Vaapad wasn't created yet, at that time, Mace created after the TPM.
Look, i know you like to use this quote, that Anon skills is second only to no one, but honestly, do you really believe he is the best of his time. And the author didn't know how good Yoda was in the time and Dooku wasn't created yet. But I am not saying that Anon is weak, its very impressive that Maul defeated one of the strongest Jedi easily, i am just saying that Anon is NOT THE BEST of his time, he is not number one.

I'm sorry guys and I see where you're coming from, but, unfortunately your assumptions don't override a conon source. Anoon's skills are "second to none," including Yoda. You could write it off as technical skill and not necessarily the force mastery that comes with saber combat (which Yoda gave a lecture on in that book), but, his technical skill does exceed Yoda's as of TPM. Also:
Yeah, and a canon source that is more official that SH (the movies)shows Yoda being a greater swordsman than Maul, and therefor proves that he is also greater than Bondara. Movies > Shadow Hunter. So unless you can prove that between SH and AOTC Yoda went from being behind Bondara with a blade to above him...

its good and all that his skills were second to none, but it still says, "one of the best fighters in the order." Which means he was beaten. Who is the grandmaster? Yoda. Do you think that was for a reason? What about the quote saying that Yoda was the greatest weapon against the darkside or something like that? That would also include Anoon.
