The official stance is that the old matial arts have not survived on Rifts earth... the problem with Martial arts is finding a teacher. There are some exceptions in Rifts Japan, but that is watered dwon as compared to N&SS... I guess there will be more MA material in Rifts China 2 or 3... whenever that comes out.
BTW... if you and your GM like N&SS, I recommend hunting down the old unrevised version of the rulebook... martial arts got terribly weakened an that revision.

Can Rifts characters choose two styles, like a dedicated martial artist?
No. Even in N&S/Mystic China only two or three classes have this ability.
In Rifts, only classes that are similar in dedication and orientation to the N&S martial artist classes should be able to take more than one style.
If a class has magical or psionic abilities, a great number of skills, or any other advantages it should be restricted to only one martial art style, if it is allowed any at all.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
