| Well ... I don't think it's as simple as "they're both over-rated." The reason why BJJ and MT get so such acclaim is because there is very little BS in both styles. You're not going to be learning katas and you will be facing resisting opponents. The techniques taught in both styles are very effective compared to the typical Karate/Kung Fu/Tae Kwon Do McDojos that have become the mainstream conception of martial arts today. However, that is not to say that someone who trains BJJ or MT will be invincable in a street fight. But, those who practice these styles will generally be better equipped to defend themselves than a TKD student who got his black belt in 2 years.
