Luke and Anakin Skywalker, the latter a Force freak of nature, lost their first big lightsaber duels. Maybe Vader gets a pass and Dokuu is just that good, but the narrative precedent appears to be that one doesn't become badass even after some formal training in the Jedi arts.
I don't care how emo Kylo is or what type of shot he got from Chewie's gun - a formally trained Jedi/Sith is not losing to a 'school of hard knocks' type person. That's asking a lot.
