traditional martial arts, are they loosing thier touch?

now for all you traditonal martial artists, i dont speak for all but most of you, who do karate or taekwondo or aikido ect
dont you think your art is loosing its touch with mma being around, as now there is a new dimension to fighting which taking ur opponent to the ground
and for all the people who say well ill kick him by the time he gets me in a clinch is totaly wrong

ask ur instructor what he thinks of ground fighting
my instructor teaches karate to kids but he admits the techniques are useless in a fight
he said in a mma fight there stuffed, and he also said to me muay thai is the best stand up hands down

so are people realising times are changing
my kung fu instructor who teaches shuai jiao says that a kung fu guy vs shuai jiao
shuai jiao would win hands down as it is a grapaling art

thanks
