When I've seen him running in The Empath, I can only think of this from Bugs Bunny:
"Cooommme baaack heeere yooou raaaa-Bittt!

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!

I always tried to run like him, too.

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!

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

He used some judo throws.

I think Sisko and Kira used it too.

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.
Spenser with an "S", like the poet.

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!

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

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.

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

Ah, Kirkhopper.
"When you can snatch the Tribble from my hand, it will be time for you to go."

From Master KAAAAANNNNNN!
Ah, Kirkhopper.

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

Kirk Fu, I love it. Although when I tried it I was more like Jerk Fu.

C my reply.

C my reply.

Timmy has his own brand of iSpeak

Hey timmy, what's up with this 'xx/xx' all of a sudden?

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.

Yeah. What would you call that fighting style?
We used to call it "Kirk Fu," and it seems to involve a lot of rolling around, a few sharp, quick punches, and occasionally the fearsome Kirk Butt Slam.
There is an episode of
Big Bang Theory
in which Adam Nimoy is interviewing Sheldon, who describes his attempts to use the Vulcan neck pinch on one of his childhood tormentors. It was, shall we say, less than completely effective.
The Jim West fighting style, which involved a lot of swinging on chandeliers and the more traditional Western haymaker punches, was easier to emulate and probably more effective than Kirk Fu.

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.
