Apparently you missed the part where there is only one MA instructor in town, hence the advice to check it out and then make a decision. There really is nothing wrong with Karate, provided the instructor is knowledgeable and really is who he says he is.
Traditional martial artists probably do not train specifically for competitions like the UFC, which wrestlers and BJJ'ers do. So using things like the UFC as an acid test may be valid to a point, but it does not really prove anything.
