Barefisted Melee
A Mortal Kombat of sorts in the SW universe:
Competition includes Phow Ji, Anoon Bondara, Darth Maul, Obi-Wan Kenobi (As of RotS), Brianna, and Mace Windu.
No weapons or Force powers allowed to upset the balance; these matches are assumed to rely solely on barefisted fighting ability. Force users may not actively use the Force to augment their speed or strength, though their precognition is impossible to divorce from their abilities (Not that it's infallible, mind you.)
Round one pits Phow Ji versus Anoon.
Round two pits Brianna against Kenobi.
And round three pits Maul against Windu.
The winners of rounds one and two then square off, with the winner going on to face the winner of round three.
It's assumed that each individual is fully rested and prepared for physical combat before each match. The arena is the Taris battle arena.
I think Mace would win it all since he can pnch through durasteel. Phow Ji might win, but I don't remember him fighting anyone other than Padawan Barriss Offee
I really hope you don't think that Mace punched through durasteel WITHOUT use of the Force to increase his strength. I believe Maul to be the most capable fighter here, especially without the Force, as he is the most muscular and extremely skilled.

Mostly focuses on the jungle world of Drongar in a MASH type setting, with mostly original and IMO, very well fleshed out characters. Padawan Barriss Offee gets a good role, nearly as good as in The Approaching Storm.
This is true.
Most certainly Mace was augmenting his strength when he did that.
Maul is certainly deadly in martial arts, which is why he's in this tournament. However, I'm curious to see how you all think he'd stack up against the others. None of them are pushovers.
Phow Ji is perhaps the most distinguished solely in martial arts, though he's by no means limited to them.
"A former Teräs Käsi champion, Ji once defeated Jedi Knight Joclad Danva during a tournament on Bunduki.... Ji was also a master of Tae-Jitsu, and the Echani art."
In the Medstar book one, he's quite frankly as deadly as it gets. He defeats a military martial arts middleweight champ in exactly three seconds. He also kills three mercenaries unarmed, each felled with only one attack apiece. Admiral Bleyd, a Sakiyan who was able to butcher a professional knife fighter unarmed, thought that a battle with Phow Ji might end in either a loss or a Phyrric victory for himself.
Brianna is noted as being an Echani fighter with latent Force ability. Her father was Yusanis, the best duellist of the Echani, and her mother a Jedi. It's not too much of a stretch to say she's formidable.
I know Anoon practiced Teräs Käsi to an advanced degree, and he's no pushover either. And both Obi-Wan and Mace Windu received Jedi unarmed training. Obi-Wan's in particular, is covered in detail in The Cestus Deception.
for obi wan vs brianna I'd say Brianna.
she's that daughter of one of the greatest echani duelists and has practiced the echani arts her entire life. i think that her chani training along with the precognition gives her an edge over obi wan
as for the other 2 fights i'll have to think a little more about those cause i dont know much about anoon or phow
