I think he was a knight. I'm not sure how he reached the rank of master actually, because he was still a knight as of The Cestus Deception, which was six months after AOTC. (The Clone Wars itself was three years long)
But even then he was Obi-Wan's peer in combat. Perhaps in some ways better because he was more aggressive. ROTS doesn't do him any justice, really.

I think he ranked master right after he infiltrated the planet doh! whats that planet with water and the admiral akbar looking aliens. Forgot..
That fight bugs me. Four jedi standing there. No one takes off those cumbersome robes. Sidious attacks. His initial psycho crusher-esque move doesn't even reach the top of the stairs. He comes forward. Mace steps back and readies himself. Sidious lances Agen Kolar with a horribly telegraphed stab. He then nabs Sassee before the notable jedi (Who was the appointed leader in a strike on The Cloak of Deception) can even react. Mace and Kit dance around Sidious, and Kit dies to a relatively simple slash. Enter cheesy, awkward swordfight.
So yeah... stupid.
lol
This fight would be so different if they attacked sids first, why did they sit there and talk...
Another thing, In the movie he told them to focus on his thoughts and figure out what he was thinking righ then after that he jumped at him and clouded thier visions, Its hard to focus on two things at once, they were still capable of fighting, but not very well because they focused on something else. If all 4 attacked sidious I doubt he would survive at all. Again this is my opinion..
At first when I saw that fight I thought Sidious must have used some technique to freeze the Jedi, but Mace was able to overcome it; similar to Exar against Vodo in the Senate Chamber. It turns out that (most probable) he didn't do anything. I wonder if perhaps he did use some technique to slow them down though.
