Yes and no. Grappling and Mixed Martial Arts/NHB fighting are popular. You can go into many MA schools now and see everyone teaching grappling submission wrestling jiu-jitsu, MMA, etc. Stores now sell Tap Out fightwear as fashion statements. Finally, there is now a reality TV show to find the Ultimate Fighter. There are many schools trying to cash in on this craze and many schools have adopted the terminology to be competitive and appear knowledgeable yet still do the same broken training. Remember that martial arts training is big business and the early 2000s are the NHB craze just like the 1980s were the Ninja craze, the 1970s were the Kung Fu craze, the 1960s were the Karate craze.
