Actually , greeks developed their martial arts (pankration , boxing , wrestling ) basig on egyptian martial art called sebekkha which was created from about 5000 years ago .

this leaves arabs only with no martial arts!

bad for them

There is a russian martial art called Systema.

Whoa! Arabs do have some seriously weird MA.

Read "Assaisin!" by Haha Lung to learn about it.

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

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!

as far as i know it , arabs used to have an ancient form of wrestling ????
