Jackie Chan is nonsense not Karate or Kung Fu.

How do you think MMA even developed?

Most of the moves in Krav Maga are so basic and obvious, you don't even need anyone to teach them to you

I feel its so overrated

MMA is not for self defense anymore than ching chong martial arts is.

I don't know where you're from but in the mean streets of the USA, try rolling around or grappling with some 220 lb crackhead street thug (most likely African America to be politically incorrect), and you're dead.

I've never tried those Ju Jitsu/Judo/Taekwondo in real life nor do I like them nor do I care about them.

Yeah, go walk down the streets of Eastside Brooklyn or Washington DC, and try doing that stupid MMA shit on some 250 lb African American street thug who wants your wallet.

You must first practice some martial arts, do some sparring and get in street fights to know the value of a beautiful roundhouse kick aimed square at the jaw or chin

Especially Karate learn you to lose and not fight correctly

It depends , certain styles and probably schools produce better results than others.
2 Karate guys that fight very effectively in MMA / UFC are Lyoto Machida and Stephen Wonderboy Thompson.

Machida does Shotokan and Wonderboy does Kempo Karate and kickboxing.
They both use their Karate backgrounds in how they fight in UFC .
