In fairness to GG,I think(someone correct me if I'm wrong) he was on a gunship standing out in between the doorway as it rose so he didn't have room to maneuver. Malak needs to get him with the force. Malak would be stupid to try and beat Grievous in saber combat.
Technically anyone can use any Force powers, it's just a matter of the purpose or your motive. Darth Vader force chokes to kill or to torment people (like the rebel in A New Hope or the guy in the conference in ANH). Mace did it because he wanted to attack Grievous (merely a good guy attacks bad guy kind of thing). As long as Mace didn't do it to fuel his anger and to fuel his urge for revenge. He did it simply because he's a Jedi and they needed to capture grievous

Malak has to engage Grievous like Obi-Wan did. He can't Force choke Grievous.
on a sidenote, mace didn't use force-choke on gg. he used force-crush on his chest.
The fact that Grievous lost to Obi-Wan doesn't make him a worthless loser; Obi-Wan's style, as said by Mace Windu in the RotS novelization, was said to be the ideal style to utilize against Grievous, indeed, making Obi-Wan more effective against Grievous than even otherwise more accomplished swordsmen such as Anakin, Mace, or Yoda.
The novelization continues and states that Grievous could go up to 20 strikes per second, which overloaded Obi-Wan's defenses and forced him to resort to a different move in order to de-hand Grievous. He's NOT worthless in the movies.
Originally posted by Master Crimzoni'm glad to hear the novelization extrapolates on gg, and his loss a bit. however, the opinion that gg was quite worthless/feeble in the movie still holds strong imo - as none of that was actually explained.

Originally posted by Master Crimzonwhat i'm saying is that the movie painted an entirely different picture of gg, than the one you've explained from the novel. as far as what we actually saw in the movie, gg was only a notch or two above pathetic. he certinly had been downgraded since the CW series [after mace's crush maneuver]. remember i'm only speaking from the movie's portrayal.
Movie Grievous = Novel Grievous, which proves that Grievous is not a pathetic weakling.
