I was thinking back when I was a kid and when you and your buddies fool around and wrestle with each other. I remember trying Kirk's moves and every time I got my ass handed to me. So, after a couple of times, I stop doing that!
Although the Vulcan neck pinch work pretty good. Didn't knock anybody out, but put them to their knees.
I can recommend Spock's moves but not Kirk's. Unless of course you're hitting on a woman.
Spenser with an "S", like the poet.
Yeah. Wjat would you call that fighting style? It's like sort of Karate mixed in with a little saloon brawl. Plus, you're always gonna come out with at least a cut lip and a ripped shirt.
Yeah. What would you call that fighting style?
A much much earlier post said that 1960's censors insisted that the TOS stunt coordinators come up w/ a form of harmless hand-hand combat! When Kirk "kicks" the blue guy w/ the antennae (Land of Babyl) u c he kicks the wall, instead!
Although Jim West, Palladin, The Big Valley, Marshall Dillon, any other westerns, Man From Uncle, c/d throw haymakers, karate chopps, etc.
When I was a kid, I once tried the "double-fist smash" move Kirk (and later Worf) used in a few eps. Doesn't work for spit in a real fight, I'll tell you that for nothing!
I am still curious to try Shatner's "Leaping Butt Strike" he uses on the fake Andorian in Journey to Babel. That one's GOT to work!
No it doesn't work. Unless when you're leaping you by the fake Andorian you fart, then you can knock him out. Or at least I could. It's more deadly than Kirk-Fu.

My brothers and I didn't do any Kirk moves that I can recall, though we used to do the Buck Rodgers roundhouse kick a lot. The one thing of Kirk's we did, however, was that backward jump and look he always did when someone was trying to cut him in half with a sword or scimitar. I always tried to run like him, too. 😃
No blah, blah, blah!
I always tried to run like him, too.
You mean that slo-mo running from The Empath?
When I've seen him running in The Empath, I can only think of this from Bugs Bunny:
"Cooommme baaack heeere yooou raaaa-Bittt!
