What? Cass has gotten draws with Slade on numerous occasions (Slade has never gotten a win against her), and when he fought the Titans, he didn't match up against her, he mostly fought with his kids.
Btw, when I say "BT bows to Cassandra in skill," I mean, they met, he literally bowed out of respect.
Turner was also one of her trainers when she was a kid.

Cass beating Shiva is more to with CIS and some twisted motherly love than Cass being superior IMO.
Eh, whatever else, Shiva does also love to have an opportunity to give her all in a fight. And it's two wins.
It's not like Cassandra doesn't perform just as well against other top-tiers. Draws against Slade, has a slight edge against Bruce when they spar, loses to... well, pretty much only metas.

And Shiva was still her biological mother in everyone of them...
And conversely, Cassandra was not trying to kill her in all but one of them.
Shiva seemed to speak of the fact that Cass actually managed that in glowing terms. Sandy doesn't seem to think she was holding back.
Plus, there is her showings against Bruce, and Slade, and pretty much everyone else.

I'll note, Batman at the time of that defeat was not written as strong in martial arts as he later was. Considering that years past in-plot, it's not surprising, especially after encountering fighters like Tiger.So no, not that easy, but she could still do so.
Didn't pre-crisis Batman have a photographic memory, making it easier to learn MA's?
