Martial Arts as we understand the term today, the Asian arts, came to the US with the immigrants from China, Japan and Okinawa. It's popularity was greatly enhanced by the servicemen coming back from Asia having been exposed to the art.

At first, very little, as it was not very popular. For the first 30 or so years it was a novelty. In the 1960's, tournaments started to be held.
