Not arguing against him bro, but most of that is attributed to him being a cyborg, is that any less impressive? no, it still is.
Second. The jedi were exhausted from fighting off the droids, it's impressive that Ti and Mundi lasted the longest considering the other three - including Aayla, were dealt with quite quickly.
Um....this does suggest other wise..

At her peak Shaak Ti gave Starkiller hell, and his skill with the blade remained relatively the same throughout the Novel and Game even up to his fight with Vader. she alone would give him hell and Gallia has gone head to head with Grevious. these to take it with moderate difficulty
What does "break his defense" even mean? Grievous isn't a force user, he has no literal way of defending himself from things like telekinesis.
He weighs, what? Around a few hundred pounds? There's absolutely nothing stopping either Adi, or Shaak Ti or both, from lifting his ass up into the air and tearing him a new one in a CIS-less environment.

Like he did when Obi-Wan casually launched his ass 50 feet in the air in Revenge of the Sith? Or Mace casually crushing his chest in the cartoon?
And, if you're referring to his dodging of Ki-Adi-Mundi's attack, that seemed to be a projectile of some kind, rather than actually grabbing him with levitation.

That's what you're missing. Not everyone can tag Grievous. Mace and Kenobi are among the top 5 Jedi in the Order. Shaak Ti can land a hit, but I am not convinced Adi can.
Obi-Wan is not known for his power in the force, and even if he was I'm curious to know what line of logic you're using to assume that power in the force correlates to the ability to tag someone with the force. Even younglings have the capacity to react to and deflect blaster bolts. Yet, Grievous is supposedly this inhuman blur that Jedi [who aren't Ahsoka or Fitso or any of other Jedi who've embarrassed him] are helpless against with their instantaneous super powers?
And, this disagrees with your assertion that Grievous is some sort of uber force dodger. That force push was highly telegraphed.
Provide an example? There's numerous instances of him being tagged by force users with force attacks.

He's considerably faster than Gallia based on showings. He strikes at 20 times a second, and even Obi Wan who is a far greater swordsman than Gallia had troublle fending off his offense in ROTS. Ti is really the one carrying the burden for the fight, even if they were tired he still overwhelmed their senses simultaneously and demonstrated similar speed against Obi wan. There is nothing to show Gallia can handle his speed.
Not seeing how a boulder can puncture his armor when it was made to tank cannon fire.
Ti's best TK feat are hurling droids, breaking duracreet in OCW, and hurling debris. Nothing indicates in her upper showings she can break his armor either.
Yeah, but alone she'd just irritate him and he'd beat her much the same as he did before due to his superior speed, power, and durability.

Yeah, sorry but considering Kenobi was able to match Anakin's TK he's no slouch in that department. Unless you think Mustafar Anakin's skill was somehow reduced to AOTCs levels. And bad example considering Fisto himself is faster than AOTCs Kenobi can see, and Ashoka is a low end showing.
There are also numerous instances of him dodging.
Casually dodging Ki-Adi's Force Push, 4:13
Deflecting Shaak Ti's TK'ed objects 4:32
Easily recovering from Dooku's TK 10:40
Dodges TK, 2:25
Dodges TK again, 2:28
Tanks TK strong enough to rip off Durasteel plates and bend them, 3:41
It's common sense that he can dodge TK or tank it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to kill a bunch of jedi during the clone wars. If anyone could just lift him up and slam him like a normal droid, he would be garbage.
Eeth Koth has had him down and defeated with TK, (a Council member but not one of the elite few as far as I'm aware). Kit Fisto has also floored him.
If we ignored Legends and just took "Official Canon" Pre-SOD, then I would agree any Council member could own Grievous via TK. But after SOD I'm not too sure. He did seem like a legitimate challenge to Maul. Maul will obviously still beat him every time, but then Adi-Gallia is no Maul.
Still I see his chances of winning against 2 Council Members (provided they're not completely exhausted from previous battles) being pretty negligible.
