I just got dueling a Knight, he pretty much crushed me quickly. I was speed capped with an 850dmg PH. There was really no way for me to win. Force Armor made my attacks hit for about 150average and he could lay on mind hits for 100dmg/sec or more. When he decided to use a 1handed sabre instead of the polearm is was over. Any Jedi that tries to win strickly with a polearm, I believe, shouldn't expect to win anything in PvP.
Basically, you have to figure out a way to stop the mind damage. I think Fencer would be better than TKA in this area. TKA has no secondary defense mod, which negates atleast half of their attacks. Fencer also has a high def to Melee and status defense.
So I'd advise going Fencer instead of TKA or Swordsman. Swordsman is great, but its a very expensive profession to jump into.

I also have hadwins, 1v1, against Jedi (knights).
Not everyone will beat them, because this isn't an "i win" profession. If you have a good template, good skills, good tactics, good weapons and good food then the potential to smack down jedi knights is there.
If you are just a master swordsman, with little pvp skill, you'll get whooped on fast.
Pssst, they don't like dots much

If u know what buttons to press, a MSwords/MBrawler can beat/stand theirgroundagainst a Jedi.
Make sure u have good mind regen, as the Jedi will spend half the fight running laps round you (giving u ample time to regen your mind)
ALWAYS keep them intimidated, just keep chain casting it if u have to, it has good range so u can normally get it to stick on them b4 they get to ya.
Using a good scythe, u will be able to reduce their mind very quickly, just keep hitting their Head, doing the occasional KD, (eat the KD food or they will jsut KD/Dizzy you)
Warcry2 works very well, 20secs of mind healing can help u recover alot of mind when u start getting low, also eat a synth steak now
Keep doing the warcry2 till ya mind is healthy again, i know its kinda lame, but its survival tactics
Just keep doing this and eventually the Jedi Force Pool will drop to 0, which they'll probably retreat,
with this template u are quite unlikely to solo kill one (Jedi Knight), as its quite easy for Jedi to keep Mind Healed, u may get lucky tho, but u are able to stand ya ground till help comes...
I did this against my guild Jedi Knight (finished PVP template) and i got him to 0 Force multiple times, but i just couldnt keep up with him, he eventually got me when my KD food ran out (yep, i was withstanding him that long), i went flop flop and Dizzy.
im now 3040Doc too, which is an awesome template for PvE, and being able to cure the states will help with the Jedi state attacks..
But if u were aiming just for PvP or PvJ, TKA is much better than swords, but i personally dont wanna gimp myself for just PvP

On Menhancer templates (the FOTM jedi template basically) I do average 300-500 damage per second with an 800 max hammer... Every hit that gets absorbed by force armor takes away from their force pool, so its possible to drain their force pool pretty fast by using hit3, also because healall takes more force than heal mind.
I've found that against 5-6 of the FOTM jedi templated Knights on Intrepid i have an 80% win rate.

I got attacked by a Jedi while hunting on Endor. I 2-Box with and Master Doc/CM and I am a Master Swordsman and (almost) Master CH.
My 2 pets kept him intimated, but I could not knock him down. My alt tossed one mind poison, one mind disease and then he targeted her. After that she just spammed heals.
I didn’t know about force heals and was using head-hit 3 with my scythe. He killed one of my pets, but then ran off after I had him down to about 25% mind.
I thought they would be a lot tougher, but I guess it depends on the level and player. With the right template, I have no doubt a Swordsman can take one down…if you can keep them from running off.
