Kirk Fu, I love it. Although when I tried it I was more like Jerk Fu.
Spenser with an "S", like the poet.

Maybe he studied at the Shat Lin Temple with Kwai Chang. I got nothing.

I was more like Jerk Fu.
Isn't that what the kids were doing in And the Children Shall Lead to summon Gorgon?

Chris 109, Cind 5, Kerry E. Davis; I picked it up from another TOS IMDB poster! I.e. would=w/d, could=c/d, should=s/d.

Oh, sorry I'm so late guys! OH, with=w/. But that's old shorthand.

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.

I think Sisko and Kira used it too.

He used some judo throws.

The Shat's fighting style might have been more impressive had he not have such obvious stuntmen doing all the hard work.

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!

You mean that slo-mo running from The Empath?

I don't recall that scene, but I was referring to the way he looked when he ran. It didn't matter if he was the fastest or not, he always appeared like he was. One of William Shatner's many super powers.
No blah, blah, blah!

When I've seen him running in The Empath, I can only think of this from Bugs Bunny:
