Yes. It's called evil-mode[1]

Emacs is metaprogrammable. vim is a good modal editing system. And if you're really asking, yes, you can have both. Look up "evil-mode" for Emacs.

I can use one without the other, though they work well when combined too. Like peanut butter and chocolate.

Not OP, but I am using Spacemacs with evil bindings, so I am also kinda using both.
