Because Yoda is better then Dooku and it more depends on a user of the form, then actual form.

It is believed that Qui-Gon was at a disadvantage against Maul due to small moving space around him in that reactor core. Ataru Combat style works best in regions where more space for movement is available. The lack of sufficient space might have worked against Qui-Gon in his fight against Maul. And Maul also was young and possibly physically stronger then Qui-Gon.

Maul had a double bladed lightsaber, he needed more space, Maul was just better then Qui-Gon. And when they fought on those bridges and before in the hangar, their wose a lot of rome then.

Source for that other than Wookiee?
Because Maul seems to use much more acrobatics and has a much larger weapon.
"Kenobi's Master had been Qui-Gon Jinn, Dooku's own Padawan; Dooku had fenced Qui-Gon thousands of times, and he knew every weakness of the Atar[u] form, with its ridiculous acrobatics."

But did Qui-Gon perform any in the fight. No.

Acrobatics? Yeah, he did alot of jumping and spinning. Besides, it's better to judge facts than actors.

Pretty much, though I'd say that Qui-Gon was technically better than Maul, he just didn't have the same kind of speed and stamina, and overall skill.

It takes extreme skill and technique to wield double blades lightsaber.

It was specifically stated that Maul was a better weapon user than Qui-Gon in the TPM novel...

What part, that Maul is better, or Oui-Gon was technically better?
KAM

It's during the ending battle, at the part with Qui-Gon's thoughts I believe. Anyway, Maul was just better....
