I wonder how that works in a Jedi fight to the death.

Since they only use the Force for knowledge and defense, the one who sacrifices his defense to attempt an attack will be the one that loses. (See the old story about the duel between two samurai, one of which specialized in finding weaknesses in defenses and exploiting them, the other of which specialized in perfect defenses.)
