[Bourne films] Why was Jason Bourne so much better than the other agents?

He always came out on top in  the fight with the other agents, but why did he come out on top? He was always the better fighter, but was it because there was something different about him as an agent? Was it luck?

He wasn't the best. He wasn't the best fighter, specifically. But he was really good.

What he did have is a lot of experience, and home territory in all his fights. Also, his only goal was to survive. The agents sent to kill him had an extra burden of needing to kill someone. So... they were forced to extend, while Bourne could pull back. A stalemate, for Bourne, would be a win. For the other agents, a stalemate is a loss.

Then, in close quarters combat where he had no special advantage - like the knife fight where he fought back with a towel - that was desperation and luck. And Jason, at the time, knew it and ran.
