The styles I have studied have groundfighting. But to answer your question it depends on the style and the instructor. Some instructors don't teach groundfighting.

Yes, it has. But not that you'll out grapple a jiujitsu, wrestler or Judoka.

 

The groundfighting moves in karate are mostly to finish off a fight right there, not to spar your oponent on the ground (roll).

 

For that, you have to train on a grappling specialized system.

one of the many aims of the Karate I was taught was balance and staying on your feet. If on the ground, face the opponent and get up asap, not forgetting to try and sweep them :)

 

forget about UFC.

 

If someone got me on the ground in that way I'd be biting their legs or sqeezing their testicles so hard they would pop :P

700 hours of official training. Injury finished me dammit!
