Were the clones of identical combat ability to their genetic fathers? If so, that's really impressive.If not, eh.
But later on, Jaden was holding off both a Kyle clone who destroyed part of a hospital, and the Jaden clone who was matching him.
But speculation is that the Kyle clone isn't that impressive.

Jaden and his clone - Soldier, who is considered to be the success and prime of the clones, hold each other at bay:
"The clone snarled, held up a hand, palm outward, and met Jaden’s blast with his own. Power pressed against power and Jaden and the clone eyed each other across the landing, jaws fixed, eyes locked, neither gaining the advantage."
―Star Wars: Riptide
With this in mind, let us continue with the next scene. Here, Jaden, is able to withstand the combined might of Soldier and Runner Telekinetic strength and succeeds in holding them at bay:
"On the stairway above him and to his left, Jaden saw the clone he had dazed rise to his feet and shake his head, growling. His angry eyes fixed on Jaden. He gestured with both hands, and sent a burst of power at the Jedi.
Jaden held out his left hand—his maimed hand—at the last moment, intercepted the blast, and answered with his own power. The clone’s push caused him to stagger, but he nested himself in the Force and stood his ground against both clones. He held his hands out, the clones’ power pressing at him from right angles. The yellow line of his lightsaber, which he still held in his left had, sizzled before his eyes. The effort squeezed sweat from him, taxed mind and body. He took a step back, another, and found himself pressed against the wall. He could not hold out for long."
―Star Wars: Riptide
Here despite matching them, Jaden begins to fall, but draws on a reserve of power that allows him to maintain his deadlock with the clones that is only broken when the Lumiya - clone joins the fray:
"The female clone stared at him, a strange smile on her face. Her strong jaw and almond-shaped eyes clicked in Jaden’s memory and he recognized her as a clone of the Dark Jedi Lumiya. Her baldness had thrown him at first. The child, her face dirty, her long red hair matted, did not move at all.
“What do you want?” Jaden asked through gritted teeth.
“To go home,” the Lumiya-clone said.
“I can’t allow that,” Jaden said.
Her smile deepened. “You cannot stop us. No one can. Mother has called.”
As one, the two male clones took a step toward Jaden, their power pressing against him. He fell to one knee, grunting against their onslaught, barely holding on.
They took another step and he fell to both knees.
The larger of the two grinned. Jaden recognized him now, behind the beard and hair. He was a clone of Jaden’s Master, Kyle Katarn. Anger poured off both clones, anger born of years of frustration and mistreatment. It hit Jaden like a hailstorm. His elbows bent. He was failing, failing.
But he refused to give in.
He grunted, summoned a reserve of strength, extended his arms fully, pushed back against the clones, stood up, and held his ground.
“I won’t let you pass,” he grunted. “I can’t.”
His words erased the smile on the Lumiya-clone’s face. She shrieked, her calm façade shattering under the sudden expression of her rage. Power went forth from her, joined that of the other two clones, and slammed him against the wall."

Basically everything that happens between them.
