@ace52387 That little clip is from Korean docu series "Seeking Masters". Look it up. It's a very good docu series on Martial arts in general and it features masters of various arts. And it wasn't a full sparring. Merely a demonstration. They were very respectful of each other and their styles.

八極拳的魅力..XD I wish this video was translated. (外國人的需求) 如果有的話，也許更能讓西方更了 解咱們的中國武術

There is no absolute 'correct' Muslim and Moslem (and Qur' an and Koran) are from different transliteration systems. There can't be a 'correct' because the words are Arabic words and Arabic uses a different type of alphabet than English. Though currently Muslim (and Qur' an) is considered the more accurate version (meaning closing to the actual pronunciation).

@daijishin - to add to your very valid point, 'Silat' is the Arabic word "Salat" in Malay pronunciation. The word Salat means worship or how Muslims pray. The Silat martial art form is founded on the positions of our prayer which involve the entire body as most everyone knows. I'm sure some forms migrated from point A to point B (capoeira from Africa to Brasil is one example) but this is not one of them. Silat is of local Malaya [Muslim] Origin.

@spartanwarrior1 - The Muslims Hui of Xingjang are the minority of the Muslims in today's Chinese borders. Han Muslims are the majority of Muslims in China, not Hui. Just want to point out that Han are both the largest 'racial' group in China but also not one unified group. Han also have diversity. =)

Muslim is correct and Moslem, etc are incorrect. It's pronounced Mus-lim, as if it has two syllables. A Muslims (like me) will always use the 'Muslim' spelling regardless of country of origin. It's the same with the Quran. Muslims always use 'Quran' or 'Qur'an' and non-Muslims seem to always use Koran. Hope this helps/answers your question. =)
