pengbuzz Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Pretty much what the title says: https://insighteditions.com/products/star-trek-kirk-fu-manual/ An example or two: Edited September 12, 2021 by pengbuzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekering Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Interesting example! That bizarre move not only completely failed to incapacitate his opponent... ...but it left him in a vulnerable position on the floor, leading directly to a nasty stab wound in the back. 😬 Looks like a very silly book to me. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Seems to be authored by James Kirk himself. I trust our favorite captain to dramatize things suitably for maximum impressiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Who stitches Kirk's uniforms? That page...Right before he lands, he's got no bruises and a clean shirt yet on the recovery, both sleeves are torn and he's got bruises. Who knew a fighting style would be so deadly to shirts...🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seto Kaiba Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Sounds like a good Christmas gift for my rabidly Trekkie parents. 24 minutes ago, azrael said: Who stitches Kirk's uniforms?

I hear tell Kirk becomes nigh invincible when his shirt is ripped.😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I thought the secret to Kirk-Fu was to combine your hands together to make your strikes infinitely more powerful (like a double-handed, overhead axe smash). 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 In fact, all the recovery stances seem to end with a torn shirt. Fascinating....🤨 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-ZeroOne Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Is there a special section on dealing with computers, like how to make them explode by showing them this... human...

Podtastic Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) The manual should come with a label: "Warning, does not work on Gorn!" 😑 Edited September 13, 2021 by Podtastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 To sum up. Whatever takes too much energy, makes obvious what you are going to do, and puts you off balance when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetJockey Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Those fights are awesome. It's the norm to make fun of Star Trek now. But that show will never die. Buffy has some classic fights too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
