Well if we include Legends here....since it seems we are since Adas is such a character. Obi-Wan has shown some decent martial arts.
Though Jedi aren't really about Martial Arts, aside from Lightsaber combat. They are trained in all manner of physical disciplines however.
If you will take Barriss(Legends, Padawan), she was able to keep up against Phow Ji(a legit superhuman) in martial combat, despite the fact the latter was a champion martial artist in various MA including Teras Kasi, Echani, Hapen, Tae-Jitsu and a dozen others.
I know it's scaling here, but considering the fact before the fight it's noted all Jedi were trained in the same disciplines, it should count and Obi-Wan having shown superior strength and more Martial Art ability(as I recall he's had some various H2H showings in TCW too) should give him a standing.
Sure Obi-Wan has taken beatings, but that also shows just how durable he is too.

Both impressive feats of strength, yes, (though I'm not sure how seriously I take Kenobi bending Grievous's arm like a cheap spoon per the RotS novel) but I don't see how those two instances are examples of skill. Kenobi was being thrown around by Grievous in the movie and he regularly gets kicked, grappled, and thrown by Grievous in their TCW duels. The only thing I remember from Kenobi's encounter with Durge is Kenobi literally being pummeled.I'm not questioning Kenobi's skill in H2H, just the examples you're using to prove it. mmm
I mentioned the examples more for Obi-Wan's sheer strength and durability and why it should be superior to Adas. For his skill in H2H, I'd bring up beating one of the Zigerions four armed champions, contending with Anakin and landing kicks on Maul and Savage.
"Ruling nearly 3,000 years before the rise of the Galactic Republic, King Adas was a
massive, regal being encased in majestic ebon warrior armor. Raised from his youth as a
chosen being due to the charcoal pigment of his skin, Adas demonstrated great
intelligence, fighting prowess, and a tremendous aptitude for Sith magic."
So yeah, good shit.
