Will it change: Not for awhile. People like fantasy, and people like to be lied too. Too many people would rather go to a crappy MA school and have mystical smoke blown up there @$$ then to go to a realistic one where they learn what really works and what doesn't. Many people don't like the realism because realism shows how powerful you aren't, and how good your not. Many "martial artists" would rather go somewhere that makes them feel like they are good, and that they are powerful, then go somewhere that teaches reality.

In order for a good portion of MA schools to stay afloat they need to water it down. You'll keep and attract more students if you lean more toward aerobic kickboxing/taebo etc., rather than going the traditional old school fighting MA way. There are students, BBs included, at my dojang who never come to self-defense/sparring class, never competed in sparring tourneys and are content with just doing poomse, one-steps and non-contact sparring. That's fine, and more power to them. It's because of these students that my school is able to survive.
