Jackie Chan learnt several forms of Kung fu- Wing chun, Tong Long, Bak Mei and northern Shaolin Kung fu. He even learned Hapkido, Boxing, Judo, Taekwondo and Hei Long.
Karate? No he never learned Karate.
I'm sure Jackie Chan is in many forms of Martial Arts, but everything I've seen is based on the Chinese arts and not karate.
Jackie Chan holds no rank in karate. He uses kung fu as taught in the acting schools in China.
Jackie Chan has had a few real life incidents where people have tried to challenge him.
These three all occurred during the US promotion for the 'Big Brawl'.
Detroit, Michigan:
" I met the first trouble-maker the day I arrived in Detroit, Michigan. When I stepped in the City Center, I saw a banner written, 'Jackie Chan - Master of Kung-Fu', being hung on the front door of City Hall. I immediately sensed the unpleasant atmosphere of the crowd, apparently offended by the words on the banner. As I predicted, trouble came. As my interview was coming to an end, I was asked to perform a few Kung-fu techniques. At that point a guy jumps onto the stage and shouts to me, "Jackie Chan, what would you do if someone attacks you?" The guy wasn't tall but had a sturdy built. From the way he dressed and behaved, he probably wanted to get a name for himself by striking me. While I was concentrating I also watched for the staff's reaction. But they didn't take any action, they wanted to see the duel. I had no choice but to keep calm and ready myself. In fact I decided to kick his legs. He made the first move, he swung his fists, looking like a feint move. Anyhow my left foot already struck his legs. With a loud 'bang' he hit the stage. At that point we were surrounded by the staff."
Cincinnati, Ohio:
"In a network station in Cincinnati, Ohio, I was demonstrating how to free myself from being strangled from behind. My performing partner was a 6 foot male. But unlike our act in the rehearsal, when facing the camera, he squeezed my neck as tight as he could and I almost suffocated. I knew what I had to do. First an elbow to his ribs loosed his grip, then I twisted my body and with my hands over his back I pulled and rolled his body in a complete circle, heels over head. A terrific move! That two hundred pounder landed right in front of me, knocked out for a moment."
Portland, Oregon:
"At a welcome party In Portland, Oregon, a male approached and asked for a duel . Being a guest at the party I refused his request. This guy, rather cunning, was seemingly disappointed and wanted to shake my hand goodbye. Once our hands grasped I could feel his seizing force and I knew I was trapped. I immediately moved my legs into a defensive position. In fact that guy was pretty strong with his grasp. I gripped his veins to lower the blood circulation, and his force gradually turned weak. While I was about to free my palm I saw him raising his left fist. I instantly grasped his thumb and commanded his wrist. At that point he could make no move."
There was one more incident during the filming of Rush Hour 2 when a fan rushed out of the crowd and suddenly hit Jackie on the nose. Although the fan was arrested for assault, Jackie did not press charges.
Jackie Chan has trained in a variety of martial arts so technically can fight, but has never taken part in any competitive fighting.
Yes and no. Jackie Chan has studied real martial arts, even earning a black belt in Hapkido, but he has never done martial arts seriously as a sport or taught it.
Yes and no. He does have a black belt in Tae Kwan Do which means he is good, but does martial arts for the movies which isn't the same as 'pure' martial arts.
Yes, because Jackie Chan has trained extensively in many forms of martial arts and no because he uses the training to create fight scenes for movies.
Yes they are real. Do not try these at home!
no he is not.
Jackie Chan calls his form of martial arts 'chop suey' because he mixes a lot of different forms of fighting styles together.

No, he does not. Jackie Chan is not trained in legitimate fighting. He's a showman first and foremost. He is not like Bruce Lee.
