[Marvel/Netflix Marvel] How good is Danny's martial arts ability really?

In both Iron Fist and Defenders, Danny is supposed to be a top martial artist who should be able to dispatch a normal human easily. However, it seems like Danny seems to struggle in most fights he's in to some capacity and Daredevil matched him blow for blow in Defenders. So is Netflix downplaying the Iron Fist as a martial artist?  Or is Iron Fist really not the impressive a fighter?

Without his chi, Danny is slightly below Matt Murdock in terms of raw martial ability. That's a far cry from the "greatest martial artist in the world" that he should be, but it still isn't exactly *bad*.  Daredevil is one of the most talented fighters alive, and being able to fight evenly with him is a huge accomplishment. It just feels weaksauce because Danny is so hyped.

Danny also suffers from a serious lack of head game. Is very easy to provoke him, rattle him, make him doubt himself, or goad him into attacking without preparation. He believes that he's the greatest fighter alive, and any difficulty *at all* makes him doubt and panic. He's got the emotional development of a child, and instead of calmly using his talents like Matt does, he lashes out like a child.

This is in stark contrast to 616 Danny, who is very much superior to Matt Murdock without chi, and with chi can take down helicarriers.
