I have always wondered the same thing, but have come to think that it is not ever-present (like karate or tkd) because no one teaches it mainstream. If it were on every corner, it could not be ignored as it is today.

But given today's martial arts climate, now is THE time for it to come out into the limilight. The current crazes all seem to be non-oriental martial arts: capoiera, Philipino knife arts, bjj (which has a judo base and roots, but doesn't associate itself directly with the oriental styles), and Krav Maga.

Hopefully it will move into mainstream.
Wouldn't you like to have your silver or golden glove in it?
