The Jedi NEVER had access to Matukai training.
Except for, y'know, from the Matukai who joined.
So, lie one.
You also forget that Matukai adepts are masters of controlling their bodies, inward, and outward. The Matukai adepts were capable of using the Wan-shen with a speed, described as a virtual whirlwind of metal and blades.
I forget none of that. It's just you're making the assumption that makes them better than the Jedi in combat, when nothing says they're better in combat overall.
Unfounded assumption 1.
They were also able to control their bodies in the same maneuverability they demonstrated with their wan-shens, basically they reached the body control and strength of a whirlwind, which in other words is a feat no Jedi replicated or mastered.
And no, I've specifically noted when the Jedi replicate that and they even have a common name for that move.
Lie two.
The Jedi's only known technique that resembles that of a whirlwind was Jar-Kar, and even then that's only the Jedis defensive Lightsaber maneuvering style.
Actually it's a highly offensive move, used to increase one's number of attacks aside from defensive benefits.
Jar'Kai isn't a defensive style it's just two-saber fighting, and btw it doesn't even require Jar'kai, it's just easier to do with it.
Lie three.
The Jedi have never reached the body maneuverability nor have they achieved the strength of a whirlwind, the Matukai Adepts are on that level.
Lie four.
Yeah imperial inquisitors purged the Matukai adepts through assassination & overwhelming numbers, they are the emperor's hands after all. But most of the Jedi Masters & Knights you deemed more powerful then the Matukai adepts, were killed off by Clone Troopers, Clone Commandos, and Bounty Hunters.
After being shot in the back usually at extreme numbers differential, in a situation unlike what the Matukai faced. And then they faced the same Inquisitors that were hunting down the Matukai, and yet still quite a few made it completely through the dark times.
Also, Imperial Inqusitors were not Emperor's Hands. The Emperor's Hands were the next step up, and stronger than the Inquisitors. There was one High Inquisitor rumored to also be a Hand, but the likes of Mara Jade and Maarek Stele and Arden Lyn were not Inquisitors.
Its already clear that Matukai adepts are the most powerful physically,
Quote from the Jedi path: They "are among the best martial artists."
Not 'clearly' or 'overwhelmingly,' or even 'the best,' but rather 'among the best.' Meaning, while they're up there, they have rivals.
Unfounded assumption 2.
He was quoted to be a powerful Jedi Master, and eventually he fought a Matukai adept. He got beaten senseless by that Unidentified Matukai adept, so bad, that he not only suffered physical damage, but physiological damage as well.
He fought a Matukai at the Matukai's own game, he was a Jedi Consular, not a guardian or sentinel, and his own student considered him weak. Nothing says he was even focused on martial arts. So, lie 5, Thame was not indicated to be all that impressive in combat.
And "I wouldn't want to fight one again," is 'psychological damage'? That's worth an Unfounded assumption 3.
This also, noteworthy, says little about how an all-out, not just martial arts battle would do. You know, using force powers and such. On a battle not set up to favor one side over the other.
Nor does it say much at all how a stronger Jedi would do, and there are Jedi much stronger than Thame.

Face it, this?
In short a Matukai Adept became a Jedi's worst nightmare on the field of battle.
Is nothing but wishful thinking, taking any mention of ability as if it was a statement of clear superiority.
All that's said is the Matukai are among the best in a specific area and that one beat a middling master in their own speciality. Well, duh.
You drawing overall superiority from that is just a collection of lies and unfounded exaggerations bundled up in your own head.

Oh lookie what we got here?The Imperial Inquisitors used Ultrachrome protection[1] and Taozin amulets created a void in the Force so its wearer could not be detected by another Force-sensitive.
Along with the fact that the Matukai were one of the first force orders the empire hunted down.
Yea, after the public execution of the Jedi. They were one of the early ones, not the first, following an incredibly public and obvious spectacle.
Notably, the Imperial Inquisition was not even yet founded when Order 66 went down, and was largely made up of former Jedi turned after the order. Meaning, while high on the list, they likely had at *least* months of warning.
Those Imperial Inquisitors assassinated the Matukai Adepts, never engaging a Matukai Adept in combat.
Never, huh? I mean, even with hiding themselves in the force, ambushing over 50 of them seems absurd, especially when they operated in pairs and trios. Not a single one was able to put up their guard after their buddy died?
Especially because there were Jedi able to fight off the Inquisition, and even given some were caught by surprise, the Matukai is a scattered order, hardly all of them would fall before any prepared.
Jedi still accomplished with the Matukai didn't here, and you're still making unfounded assumptions here... ones that actually make the Matukai look pretty poor.
Unfounded assumption 3.
That just proves those inquisitors used common sense and avoided engaging Matukai Adepts in combat. Now its known as a suicide to engage a Matukai Adept in combat. Pitiful Sith.
Nope, nothing says it's suicidal, and the Imperial Inquisition's methods have been seen often, they regularly take their targets on in combat. This is worth Lie 6 and
Unfounded assumption 4.
Heck, the RPG gives Inquisitors better combat stats!
The only known person to engage a Matukai Adept head-on and survive, was Thame Cerulian. But at the end of that horrific experience, Cerulian had the Sense knocked out of him👇
The only named to engage a Matukai *period*, mind you, and he was a Jedi Consular, the least-combat focused type of Jedi, and his own future student considered him weak.
Also, both Vong and Vong supporters have killed Matukai, and Vong tend to fight head on, so to say Thame is the 'only known' is wrong. We know other people have, we just don't know their names. Lie 7.
After this i don't have any respect for those who call themselfs the "New Sith Order"
That seems completely unrelated to anything, really?
