What up, fellow fans! Today, I will finally make my own Darth Maul Respect Thread. This will cover canon, but also his feats in the fan film "Darth Maul: Apprentice" (which is NOT canon)
Anyhow, enjoy!
Dueling Prowess
Maul was one of the best duelists in galactic history. He was trained for over a dozen years in the art of saber combat. At his peak, he was capable of going toe-to-toe with Darth Sidious, the most poweful being in history, for half a minute or so.
Maul takes on both a highly skilled Jedi Master and a highly skilled Padawan at the same time.
Using only his physical feats and the Force, Maul can make his double-bladed lightsaber spin fast enough to deflect rocks and other projectiles. The only other people who can do something like this are General Grievous (because of his rotating hands) and the Imperial Inquisitors (their lightsaber hilts can rotate at helicopter speeds). Even Darth Sidious could not recreate such a feat.
Maul easily dispatches (and cuts into tiny chunks) an injured Jedi Beserker. Beserkers are fearsome Jedi warriors trained to focus on combat more than the other aspects of the Order.
Maul connects a strike at Qui-Gon Jinn, even when Jinn has the advantageous posistion and has his lightsaber up. Below, we see him kick Obi-Wan Kenobi even while dueling Qui-Gon as well.
Maul forces the powerful and experienced Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn back into the column with his sheer strength.
Maul, while dueling Qui-Gon Jinn, kicks Obi-Wan Kenobi off a platform.
Before we go any further, allow me to elaborate on how hard it is to duel two people at once. When fighting against one opponent who is skilled enough, even one microscopic misstep can lead to defeat. This is inferior opponents like Ahsoka Tano could beat someone like Darth Maul (but that's an entirely different story). So, fighting TWO accomplished Jedi at once is very impressive.
He blocks a strike from Obi-Wan Kenobi without even looking.

Force Abilities
Although Maul's Force abilities were not as powerful as Count Dooku's, they were still above Anakin Skywalker, Asajj Ventress, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Savage Opress, and almost everybody else in the galaxy.
Even while injured, Maul pulls a massive Republic shuttle down from its perch.
