Effective as what?

As exercise for health - extremely effective, helping with weight loss and stress reduction as well as building coordination, flexibility and strength.

For building discipline - extremely effective in teaching patience and cooperation.

For self-defense - If taught as a fighting skill, and not as a sport or game, it is extremely effective.

The level of effectiveness of any martial art, for whatever the purpose, is going to depend most on the individual practicing it. The recent winner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship Light Heavyweight Division was a Traditional Karate prctitioner.

What is the most effective self-defense technique to use in a dangerous situation, such as a karate chop to the neck?

The most effective self-defense technique in a dangerous situation is to use a combination of techniques, such as striking vulnerable areas like the eyes, throat, or groin, and using physical force to create distance and escape. While a karate chop to the neck can be effective, it may not always incapacitate an attacker. It is important to assess the situation and use the appropriate technique to defend yourself.
