Of course, all *real* (meaning crosstraining and modern) martial artists now learn wrestling / takedown defense and practice it.
I'd go so far as to say 19 out of 20 martial artists of a TKD style would get pummeled in a street fight by a wrestler.
But the great thing about tv and the internet is that now wrestling / submission / crosstraining is no longer a secret.
