Adam is clearly much stronger than Blake( maybe even Yang), so how could it possible that Blake could win an 1v1 fight against Adam? What she could do was to be brave and sought help, which was exactly what she had done. Courage doesn't bring you victory, and Pyrrha is the best example.

Actually, they didn’t nerve Adam. When we saw Adam in volume 3, Blake was shocked and dumbstruck and clearly not focused, which he used to his advantage. And Yang, already weakened and low on aura, rushed in and Adam took advantage of that.

We never actually see Adam fight people that are either on his level, or his superiors, on his own. He usually fights people below his skill level or takes them by surprise. It makes it difficult to determine how skilled he actually is.
