When I see topics like this from the op I sometimes wonder if there's a guy in the middle east posting on a message board with topics like America under represented in intelligence.

Who needs martial arts when you spend a lot of time killing each other.
To be perfectly honest here, most martial arts although old have grown and increased in popularity over the years, over the last 100 years Europe has seen many changes to boxing (i.e gloves), Japan has seen modernization of stuff like Judo/Karate/etc, and many other countries have seen their fighting styles flower and grow.
By comparison most of the middle east has spent the majority of the post WW2 era defending itself against the USA/USSR/Israel and their puppets, why practice and evolve martial arts when your at war, just stab/shoot the guy. And lets not forget if your living in a dictatorship they are not usually too fond of the unarmed masses training themselves in unarmed combat.

It's a Sikh martial art designed to defeat the Mughals.

Nothing hurts like a kick in the Mughals 
No, there are plenty of martial arts from around that part of the world. If you mean do they have lots of showy impractical flashy moves types of martial arts then I guess not but that's hardly something to be critical of. Krav maga originates in Slovakia anyway not Israel - might have been made widespread there but doesn't change the fact. It would be like saying karate is American if there were more practitioners there than Japan.

I'm not sure what I just witnessed
Israel is a racial state for Jews and an apartheid state at that, yet they receive no UN sanctions. It seems not only do your accept their racial state but you also class their diaspora as part of their expansionist empire. Are Chinese in London part of China then? Get out of your indoctrinated Jewish double-think.
Krav maga is really a mix of existing martial arts. You don't hear nations laying claim to MMA apart from this 'Israeli' discipline. It has nothing to do with the Arabs either.

But i thought that was why all the female arabs dress like ninjas?
I was referring to his "India - yoga?" comment, showing the length and depth of his "research".
^ I agree with him ^
Not because I understand what he or anyone else is talking about, but because he's called Guile and this is about fighting, so.
We have wrestling, Iraqis, Iranian and Turkish are the most powerful people in wrestling.
