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.
I just watched the “human projectile” episode the other day. It does stand out as a baller move. Fitting for Kirk.
Lady Gaga. That’s damn funny.
Pow right in the kisser!

Idk, but I’m betting 20 quatloos on the male.
So powerful no shirt can contain it.
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).
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.
There is a huge stage influence. Just look at how 90% of the planets are a couple of boulders in front of a cyc.
Nothing wrong at all. Nearly everything is overdone in the OG series. That’s why I love it.
What about the Harvey Wallbanger? The one he does on the Andorian where he kicks off the wall?
My searches for the other gifs I linked led me to a gold mine of these KirkFu moves that someone posted to imgur.
They called this one “Wall of Destruction”
And here are the rest just because:
You laugh now, but just you wait until you get doublefisted by Kirk from behind.
Taught Chuck Norris everything he knows.
Yes, Chuck is from the future. But also the past. At the same time.
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.
Is he gonna shove that up a lizards asshole
AKA “Kirk-fu”
“Fencing.” 😀
