There's a caveat to the fight between Kenneth and Sean, which is that until Sean started experiencing extreme pain due to him being possessed by Jack the Ripper, he had the upperhand in the fight. Adalind telekinetically broke Tony's fingers in Season 5, though she wasn't in control of her own powers at that point -- it was the first sign that the Hexenbiest suppressant was wearing off, and she was actually terrified about what happened.

I think given what we've seen with even natural born Hexenbiests, especially experienced ones, their powers make them formidable opponents for everyone, even Grimms, but Grimms are still able to take them on in combat. Probably the best example that hasn't been brough up is Nick and Renard's first fight in "Face Off" -- Renard in his woged form fought at a much more equal level with Nick, who was taken by surprise a bit when he saw Renard woge (neither one had any weapons either). Full Zauberbiests are a whole different animal though -- imagine how much different the show would have been if Renard were a full Zauberbiest!
