This is rather interesting, anyone know more about this?
mord:
I think he has a site on the internet look up Abir.Yes here it is http://www.abirwarriorarts.com/
q_q_:
he is heavily qualified in other (non jewish) arts.
If he does have a tradition, it is very broken, and it seems be is really using the non jewish arts, removing any idolatry, and giving them a jewish dash of paint. reshaping those arts somehow, using hebrew letters and concepts
i saw a thread in a forum where somebody posted a clip of this guy doing something with a sword, as if it is uniqique to the Abir system. And he guy posted a clip of some other guy doing the exact same thing - not Abir.
It is just like an oriental martial art
If the oriental martial arts were so great, then i think we would see them in UFC more. UFC has highlighted that to fight well you need standup skills - like boxing. And ground fighting skills, like jiu jitsu.

Well also ancient martial arts are a little ineffective in todays world, they are more a art than a fighting or combat system. I believe Brazilian Ju Jitsu is used primarily in UFC because it has a lot to do with ground moves and grappling.
q_q_:
jiu jitsu generally.
marc laimon has beaten a gracie . jiu jitsu vs bjj. He said their BJJ is actually quite poorly done - relative to the way he does things..
The gracies invented BJJ.
The reason why you associate UFC with BJJ, is because of the Gracie relationship to UFC. THe early UFCs were won by Royce Gracie, who beat much bigger and heavier and stronger opponents. at a time when nobody had heard of jiu jitsu. He also invented the UFC idea itself I think.
Also, somebody said that some BJJ clubs are a bit gay. So if going into it, I would stick to jiu jitsu.. though personally i am not sure about them either. If they wore trousers and shirts it is ok! Remember, this is on hte ground. I would not want some guy to wrap his legs around my head or lie on top of me bare chested. - with me bare chested too. That is horrible to me. I think I mentioned that in another thread.
