Assassin as in the book that talks about the "hashashin"? this is more like an art of stabbing and killing, isnt it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashashin this is an art of the Ismaili's and Nizari's against the arabs, it's not an arabic martial art. the only thing i'd consider an MA of arabs is sword fighting which was around 1600 years ago, where they used to start an army battle with 3 pairs fighting from each army first, and the armies would join!

i know they have a new one practiced majorly by militants, they talked about it in the news it's like krav maga and stuff, basically aimed against police, army and forces like that... but im not sure how it looks like or what it's called or anything

i watched Dan Insonato's videos about JKD, and I watched Lee's, and watched Dan Sullivan teaching... the three of the men do not agree on a style, but they agree on switching between styles and picking their best choice when they see fit. JKD as "intercepting fist" doesnt really exist anymore, but what's left is Lee's speech about "water"
