Do instructors not teach you how to do emergency stops any more?

You should absolutely be using both brakes, with more bias to the front in dryer conditions - roughly 70/30. ABS doesn't change that, except for giving you a safety blanket. If you're not confident doing that, then you need to go somewhere quiet and practice until you're happy.
