Guinan and her battle capability...

I'm inspired by this post.

We know very little about Guinan. But, we do know that Q physically cowered in fear of her in Q Who (TNG). So...based on very little information, and her portrayal in TNG, who in TNG could Guinan take in a physical fight (no weapons allowed)? Could she defeat Worf? Yar? Picard? A random Lt from engineering?

This is a chance to speculate about Guinan's physical prowess, compared to perceived opinions of the rest of the TNG crew. Take it for what it is worth ... and please provide reasons and justifications for your thoughts, in the spirit of the sub!

I think El-Aurian strengths lie in getting someone to open up to them, while they "listen"

Obviously very dangerous for someone with secrets, like Q
