Hawk has a point. In the Jedi order of the movies, most combat was learned from the Jedi's Blademaster, the Jedi considered to be most proficient with lightsaber techniques. Not sure where Qui Gon being one of the "wrost" lightsaber duelists came from, though. His own master was Count Dooku, who would have likely put a large emphasis on lightsaber training for his padawan.
