Its called ABIR which means warrior in Hebrew! Practiced by the forefathers and our Jewish Ancestors. Kept a secret for more then 1000 years, finally back in full force! I will be learning it soon, as I have promised myself to become as much of a Hebrew Jewish warrior as possible!

Cool. I wonder if the "lost tribe" brought it to China or it was just invented by the different peoples at two seprate times.

He doesn't look muslim.
Anyways, I heard about this many years ago but I like how they are trying to preserve ancient Israelite customs as well as paleohebrew.
"Connection"-Building (Ḥibbur)
Ḥibbur means "connection" and refers to becoming acquainted with the God of Israel, the Torah of Israel, and the land of Israel, and also includes becoming connected with our ancestors through all of the various divisions of the Abir program:
1. Visiting the tribal regions of the land of Israel and the battlegrounds where we fought as a nation at war over our long history.
2. Learning how to make weapons as our ancestors did.
3. Becoming a master of endangered Israelite ritual skills:
* Making traditional Israelite clothing
* Tying fringes (tsitsith) on shawls (tallith) and other four-cornered garments
* Slaughtering animals according to Jewish law (sheḥitah)
* Circumcision (milah)
* Scribal arts (safruth), especially using the reed quill (qolmos)
* Preparing both split (qelaf) and un-split (gewil) hides for scribal use
* Preparing special ink (diyoh) for scribal use
* Building ritual baths (miqwaoth)
4. Learning time-honored Israelite agricultural skills:
* Farming and growing food
* Saddle-making
* Horsemanship
* Animal husbandry
5. Taking the time to become familiar with the "four corners" of the land of Israel, paying special attention to deserts, forests, and valleys.
6. Studying the people of Israel using scientific and historical methodologies and resources.
7. Meeting with Abir practitioners from around the world and establishing fellowship among the children of Israel.
8. Conducting outreach to inform those uninformed about Abir through lectures, speaking engagements, seminars, and demonstrations for groups and institutions.
