    Holy shit. What’s happening in the last one?

      Kirk, Chekov, and Uhura were being held prisoner and forced to fight as thralls, so Kirk seduced lady gaga to steal the key and try to escape.

  Only fair to credit Treklit author (and former marine) Dayton Ward for his Kirk-fu 2020 book and for coining the term.

  Here’s an interview with Ward from the time of its release.

    Coining the term? Using fu as a suffix has been around since the Bruce Lee era.

  For real something was wrong with the TOS stunt coordinator or something.

    It looks a lot like stage fighting. Something that would still be clear to viewers sitting really far away (or I guess with tiny, blurry 1960s TVs in this case).

      There is a huge stage influence. Just look at how 90% of the planets are a couple of boulders in front of a cyc.

      It’s basically that. These have a lot in common with pro-wrestling moves. They all carry some element of risk (like the drop kick), but the physicality isn’t impossible to achieve with some coaching.

    Nothing wrong at all. Nearly everything is overdone in the OG series. That’s why I love it.

  Taught Chuck Norris everything he knows.

  Yes, Chuck is from the future. But also the past. At the same time.

  What about the Harvey Wallbanger? The one he does on the Andorian where he kicks off the wall?

      My searches for others found a gold mine of these fighting moves that someone posted to imgur. They called this one “Wall of Destruction”

      And here are the rest just because:

  I read that double handed punch was popular in film back then because they needed big, dynamic attacks, that looked powerful, but they didn’t have the fight choreography knowledge yet to use actual fighting moves. This move looks impactful, but doesn’t actually do much damage, so they can go full force without concern of putting a star actor on disability.

  You laugh now, but just you wait until you get doublefisted by Kirk from behind.
