Fans of The Clone Wars should be quite familiar with Pong Krell. He was a very formidable Jedi with a strong military record, and showed outstanding skill in defeating wave after wave of clone troopers. It's unfortunate that we don't see him take on a Jedi or other Force sensitive, but what we do see is certainly impressive enough to warrant a respect thread for the Besalisk Jedi Master.
Combat Proficiency
Krell used his two double-bladed lightsabers to bring down a banshee.

Pong Krell makes short work of the 501st using his two double-bladed lightsabers. He is able to deflect incoming shots while eliminating his attackers one by one.

Immediately recovering from a great fall, Krell is able to cut through a large number of attacking clone troopers by using his physical power, lightsaber prowess and excellent deflection abilities.

Pong Krell dispatches many clone troopers despite remaining under fire. He shows a mastery of his unique form of lightsaber combat, and can even take out two of them simultaneously.
– The Clone Wars, Season 4 Episode 10
Despite being in the grip of a sarlacc, Pong Krell is able to use one of his lightsabers to deflect the fire of the 501st. He then strikes several clones from his suspended state, and frees himself from the sarlacc’s grasp with one of his lightsabers.

Unarmed Combat
After impaling a clone trooper on his lightsaber, Pong Krell kicks him with such force that the clone is hurled across the room.

Using one arm, Pong Krell launches a clone trooper several meters into the air, causing him to land on three other troopers and incapacitate them.

Pong Krell confidently extinguishes his lightsabers despite the clone forces still attacking. He then executes a quick forward roll before incapacitating or killing a clone trooper by punching him in the stomach. He then picks up another trooper, suspends him over his head and breaks his spine over his knee, killing him. He punches a third trooper and hurls a fourth a great distance.

Force Powers
Force Jump
Krell was able to Force jump with enough precision to grab and kill a flying banshee.

Force Wave
Surrounded by at least eight members of the 501st, Pong Krell successfully repelled them all without suffering injury by blasting them with a wave of Force energy. The force of his attack was strong enough to knock back all of the clones, and several of them appear to stay down during the ensuing fight, suggesting that his blast may have been lethal. – The Clone Wars, Season 4 Episode 10

Endurance
One clone trooper complains that the men have been marching for 12 hours, and advises Pong Krell to allow them some respite. “The men don’t need rest. They need the resolve to complete the task at hand.” His stamina clearly surpassed that of the (albeit armoured) 501st.
