No kidding about being online - they're holding back on us!
But yes Faunus does make a point that Starkiller did have "formal" training. He was tutored under Vader. Vader could have killed him on the spot when he killed Starkiller's father, but recognized his potential. He just didn't know how much power he had.
But back to Kas'im, I do think Starkiller/Galen Marek could outfight and overpower Kas'im due to his training.

By the way, wasn't Galen Marek able to hold off against Paply's lightning?

His lightning is far more powerful than Bane's powers

is still pretty impressive considering that Starkiller hadn't much training compared to Kas'im and Bane,

and from what I've seen from my TFU game, Galen has very powerful Force capacity. But he is greatly lacking in lightsaber skills, as he had to resort to a particularly aggressive use of the force to clip his opponents up the ass.
Red your a master of rebutals too!
But assasins are trained in some form of the martial arts. Mara was an assasin and was quite skilled in the use of martial arts.
Kas'im was a Sith Lord, but didn't have the strength of Vader or Bane. You do have a point that Starkiller's/Galen Marek's TK can be countered. But his FL (Starkiller's/Galen Marek's) was incredibly powerful. Starkiller killed Shak Ti . . . but would Kas'im have the power to kill Shak Ti?

In short, there's no indication that Starkiller practiced a specific kind of unarmed combat.

Faunus each martial art has it's strengths and weaknesses. I'm guessing it was a type of hand-to-hand combat like the Israeli martial arts.
Back to Kas'im and Starkiller. Starkiller would utilize his skills as an assasin to defeat him. Starkiller is far from a master swordsman, but his strenth in the Force would defeat Kas'im. Starkiller brought down an SD, his FL is just too powerful. Frying an AT-AT is a major accomplishment. Can Kas'im counter that much power?

I'm afraid I must disagree with you there. Galen's lightsabre skills were very good.
* He out-duels Rahm Kota.
* Holds his own against Shaak Ti.
* Out-duels Maris Brood, immediately after blowing up her pet rancor's head from inside its mouth.
* Defeats Vader in a duel.
True he finished them off with the Force, but that was after he was beating them in sword-fighting (except Shaak Ti).
But he did manage to stop an imperial destroyer from crashing into a planet. While people like Luke Skywalker could probably do that in their sleep, for Starkiller it could still be equal to Kas'im blocking Bane's lightning, so I think Kas'im could manage to defeat Starkiller with incredible difficulty, considering he's had some experience with the FL and FP.

Generally speaking, the aggressor doesn't usually attack the environment as Bane did. If we limit this to telekinesis, and then further limit it to attacks were actually defended against, I can come up with the following examples off the top of my head:1.) Obi-Wan vs. Anakin (RotS): The Force-push contest ended with both of them being hurled at least a dozen meters away from the focal point of the energy. They are surrounded by the corpses of slaughtered Separatist leaders and the remains of dismantled droids. No noted collateral damage.
2.) Raynar Thul vs. Luke (DN: TSW): Raynar Thul attacks Luke with the combined Force-potential of every Force-sensitive member of an entire colony. Luke blocks it. They are surrounded by a ten meter-high pile of Killik corpses and destroyed droids, as well as standing "Bugcruncher" droids. No noted collateral damage.
3.) Asajj Ventress vs. Anakin (CWC): Ventress attempts to Force-push Skywalker away while he is charging up the stairs at her; he simply runs through the attack, with the only effect being that his shirt is torn into tatters. No noted collateral damage.
I could list at least a dozen instances where the attack isn't defended against and there is still no collateral damage, which would indicate that the attack is directed solely at the target.
Doubtful. Marek's lightning overloaded an AT-AT, and Darth Vader couldn't fully defend himself against the young man's telekinesis.
This is true.

Kas'im NEVER blocked lightning.
