You can do it in the cases when they're specifically not using the Force.
Feats before they were trained to augment are largely their physical base stats.
Or if they're purposefully not using it, like I think Maul was a few times when he was hiding his sensitivity.
Or if they're cut off from their power, like Ulic vs Sylvar or Nox vs Paladius. In both cases they performed admirably against a force-user in melee even without the force. Indicating that they're near-superhuman already in just physicals and would be far superior with the Force.
