Hi, Well, not necessarily. I think this would be a case of skills of an individual person rather than weather or not all Jedi or all Sith would know hand to hand combat. Mara Jade is a special case in point as she was taken from her home at age 8 by the Emperor and trained from childhood to be a Sith assassin for the Empire. She was put through the Imperial academy, flight school, etc all skills that would enhance her later life as a Jedi for the New Republic. She would obviously have a lot of training and skills not shared by everyone at the Jedi academy, and possably why she quickly rose to the rank of Jedi master by the time of the New Jedi Order books.
Also not just hand to hand skills, but it seams Jedi have special force skills too. For example, one of Mara Jade's special force abilities is a force bubble. She can surround herself with a blue bubble of force energy that deflects light sabers, blaster bolts, and has been used to hover a few feet off the ground. Not all the Jedi have the mental power or force skill to project a force bubble like Mara can.The only other Jedi in the NJO I know of who can do it is Jaina Solo, and that is only because Mara taught her the ability when Jaina was her apprentice.
