My brother heard of a egyptian martial art which looks at the persons way of fighting or something can anyone help here with some info or a name? Thaknyou

I never heard of one, but I googled it and came up with Tahtib, it is the only one that came up. I never heard of it and it says it is also a form of dance, but I heard that Capoeira was the only MA that was also a style of dance. Also, there's a muslim MA called Silat Mubai, don't really know anything besides that.

What you said about how they look at the other person's way of fighting, that should be done by any fighter, regardless of style. You can't base that as a criteria for figuring out which MA you are looking for.

I have no idea what its called but I do know that it involves an AK-47! :D

Ive seen Chris Tucker do it in Rush Hour 2. :)

Silat is primarily a grappling style that is very popular throughout south east asia, particularly malaysia and indonesia. i've never heard of any egyptian martial arts but i'm sure they'd have their own traditional styles. they also have some pretty cool bladed weaponry in their mythologies e.g. dual sickles etc.

this is the only egyptian martial art les you count boxing and wrestling****** Egyptian stick fencing can be classified into ancient and modern forms. Ancient Egyptian stick fencing was practiced during religious ceremonies, processions, and as sport or game in ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians performed stick fencing or stick fighting as a tribute to the pharaoh. This type of fencing was probably based on actual fighting systems used in combat with a shield and a sword. It then probably evolved into a system with its own rules and methods. Several assumptions had to be made in order to understand stick fighting of the ancient Egyptians. The rules used by the ancient Egyptians were probably simple and few. There are two conclusions either the contest was of endurance or of skill. There is stronger evidence that the game, is a game of skill and that hitting the head was a goal. There were advantages of teaching sticking fighting, along with other combat sports such as a wrestling. The main advantage is the fact that the Egyptian army could be kept trained and ready for war. In many respects resembles the sport of single stick.

More recently (about the 18th century) it has been reported that similar stick fencing still existed. Stick fencing is still popular, particularly during the month of Ramadan. Stick fighting and stick dancing is performed during marriage ceremonies. It is called tahteeb or tahtib and still practiced in northern Egypt. The stick is symbolic of masculinity and a phallus. This is a male dance only. Although there are women who are performing the dance, they are dressed as men and they are dancing with other women. The dance with the women, is to be flirtatious and the stick is a general symbol of masculinity and is manipulated by the woman. The stick is about four feet in length and is called an Asa, Asaya, or Assaya or Nabboot.
