David Craradine wasn't an accomplished martial artist when he did the Kung Fu tv series; but, the choreographer, David Chow, was. Film martial arts is all about choreography and rehearsal, just like a dance routine. As long as the actor has the right attitude and does his homework, he can be credible on screen. meanwhile, Hong Kong is littered with accomplished martial artists who couldn't deliver a single line. I noticed you didn't see Ray Park in too many speaking roles, after Phantom Menace, apart from X-Men.
Matt Damon didn't exactly scream badass, when it was announced that he was signed to play Jason Bourne.

This is a character who is named Iron Fist, his main move is the Iron Fist! Ideally speaking most of his movies should be based around punching and using that ability. Jones should be able to handle that. Lets also not forget he had to learn how to sword fight and joist ideally for GoT

I'm willing to sacrifice action for acting but that's a good question.
It's not enough for Danny to move fairly well like Daredevil.
Iron Fist needs to be graceful on a completely higher level.
So I'm expecting more than a few distant and cut away shots for the stunt man.
