Well you need to read Darth Maul Journal then. And when Yoda trains Shaak Ti he is only able to give her some trainign in Ataru and she has to switch to Ar Valen for extra training in Makashi. Only other form he knows well is Schi Cho. Plus he is consular so he does not dedicate hismelf to the lgihtsabre like Maul does. Maul wtih good force defence probbaly the best fighter in the entire history of the old republic, except maybe some of the characters from The Knights od the Old Republic like Revan, Malak, Nihilus and Sion.
You DO realize that Yoda was every bit of Count Dooku's superior in swordsmanship, right (even on a planet steeped in the dark side of the Force)?
You also realize that Yoda, whether you like it or not HAS INDEED mastered every form of lightsaber combat EXCEPT for the Vapaad variant of form VII,,, right?
Moreover POW, you DO realize that Dooku completely SCHOOLED Obi-Wan Kenobi in lightsaber combat when they dueled,,,,,,,,,,,, right? Please admit to these things or else go slap the shit outta yourself w/ a jagged brick.
How not? he handles Jinn (at the very elast one of the 5 best with a lightsabre in the entire order at the time, certainly on part with the others) and Obi-Wan at same time, one of the best padawans ever. That feat is almost never ehard of. Even Dooku cannot do that in Attack of the Clones. Yoda never fights multiple people. maull kileld both ANOON bondara and qui-gon two of the best jedis, and dookue only became sidious apprentice when maul died, if her was more powerful why not him in the first place hmm? Maul is probably fastest ever besides Yoda, masters all forms and is a master martial artist as wlel. With force defence, he is unstopbbale (he is also mmune to force lightning in one of the comics.)
Yoda was slightly better than Dooku, and Dooku was beating him on Vunn actually. In Revenge of the Sioth Dooku has to use the force against obi-wan. Yoda did not master all forms, read my posts.
In The Phantom Menace, Anoon Bindara was best ligthsaber duelist of the jedi, and Qui-Gon was on par with him, with Yoda probably up there as well. Those would be 3 best, with Mace and Dooku below them slightly. Well Maull destroyed the best, Anoon, his equal Wui-Gon, and was also ebating Qui-Gon when he ahd the assistance of the best jedi Padawan ever. Using just his lightsaber skills, plus in movies he was quicker than everyone apart from yoda by far, and most sound martial artist and swordsman. Maul is clearly much ebtter in lightsabers than any of the ejdi in the time. Again, possibly Obi-Wan can challenge him by revenge of the Sith who was only person who could defeat girevous (and he destroyed him) as well as beat Anakin.

The well is endless isn't it POW?
In no particular order; Provide the source claiming that Maul has mastered every form. Anoon died in an explosion. QGJ was well past his prime and using a style that was greatly limited by the surrounding environment. Dooku duels multiple opponents in the RotS movie AND novel, and is HANDILY beating both Kenobi AND Anakin before Anakin has his famous moment of clarity that allows him to finally overcome Dooku. And no, HELL NO, Dooku was in no way "beating" Yoda of Vjun, EVEN AFTER his pitiful distraction. Yoda was fully in control of that fight from the moment it began.
BTW Anoon being the best duelist is... laughable at the very least. I urge you to RE-examine your source before proceeding further w/ that claim.

Yoda favors Ataru because its perfect for making up for his short(haha)comings and weaknesses, but still has complete mastery of every other Form. And while Maul was trained in the other forms I don't recall anything mentioned about mastery.
I believe his mastery of Juyo, Niman, Jar Kai and Teras Kasi is confirmed. Plus of course mastery of the Saber Staff. And of course Juyo requires mastery of multiple other forms anyway.
Sidious thinks his skills as a warrior are nonpareil, and says to Maul his skill as a master swordsman is peerless.
So he is a beast when it comes to combat skills.
But of course he can't compete with Yoda, Sidious or Mace. He's not powerful enough.

In pure lightsabre battle Obi-Wan is also up there too. He is better than the likes of Dooku, Anakin, Mace, Sidious, Grievous. His rivals would probably be Qui-Gon and Yoda, and those would probably be stalemates.
Yes of course he is. Yoda was stupid to refuse to let Obi-Wan face Sidious. The saga could have ended in episode 3.
Spoiler:
Wait... That's not a good thing is it??
