Star Wars has a relatively even split between Sith who began as Jedi and Sith who did not, at least in terms of Star Wars movies and TV shows, but those who began as Jedi have a clear advantage that makes them all the more dangerous. Some of Star Wars' most powerful Sith were first trained in the Jedi Order. Although Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader is likely the most prominent name that comes to mind, he was far from the only—or the first—to turn away from the Jedi and embrace the dark side.

Obi-Wan was able to defeat him because Obi-Wan had grown, whereas Maul had stagnated.
Like Anakin, Palpatine's second Sith apprentice in the prequel trilogy, Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus, began as a Jedi. Dooku had actually made it much further than Anakin had in the Jedi Order, and he had grown to have the respect of some of the Order's most prominent Jedi. This became evident when Mace Windu refused to believe Dooku could be behind the assassination attempt on Padmé—although he indeed was.
