i think yoda can take this, seeing as yoda's been teaching jedi for 800 years, that's 8 life times for luke.
some may say luke could beat sidious without question but i believe the same for yoda. one might look at it differently but have to remember yoda uses the force for defense, not offense, which, no matter who you are, will take naturally longer for someone to kill another. i think it is safe to say the same for luke as well in the way he would engage another.
which makes it rather difficult to say from a certain point of view. if it came to a battle of force powers, i'd say yoda. if it came to light sabers, hard to say, but i'd pick yoda.
one things for sure it would be great!
sorry if my point of view is ambigous,
Well Yoda did train Luke for a little time on Dagobah, I doubt that Yoda got to actually duel with him so he does not know his lightsaber style... Luke has improved beyond expectations during the rise of the new jedi order, and because of this he can probably throw off even Yoda's guard during their duel... But Yoda know's that Luke can be easily reckless and can grow impatient... Therefore their weaknesses are shown, but Luke has matured in both skill and the mastery of the force to win it... But this battle would be very, very close because each of them know each others weakness... I say NJO Luke Skywalker would prove victorious, but any Luke before NJO would be defeated by master Yoda in my opinion... Well what is your opinion, Yoda could win if he plays his cards right and manipulates Luke's weakness to go in for the win; just to throw off his guard for a split second... I would like to hear your opinion on this duel...

Well the only weakness I see is that Luke has grown with the force as well as his skills, It might even throw off Yoda's guard from his rapid change in his attitude as well as skill... But to throw off Yoda's guard might seem almost impossible... But I think NJO Luke can even match Yoda with skill and mastery in the force... I just don't know... This battle could sway as easily as a coin toss... That tells you alot, they are so evenly matched to me... Almost identical...
Well, Yoda (as you said) trained Luke and knows alot of his weakness's but what weakness of Yoda does Luke know? Yoda knows too much about Luke to be defeated by him. Luke would put up a good fight but Yoda's superior experience, agility and smarts would prevale.
