"Space...is the final frontier..."
"And, like most frontiers, it is populated with indigenous species, who are not always friendly..."
Each with their own agenda, who see humans as invaders of their territorial space, as battlefield challengers, as spies and assassins, as competitors in trade and commerce, or as primitive monkeys who have learned to play with fire and must be evaluated lest we become a threat to the peace of the universe.”
Most of the battles between humans and these divergent species take place in outer space, using fleets of star ships armed with Phaser cannons, Photon torpedoes and Cloaking devices. But, from time to time, personal encounters do occur. When they do, it is wise to have some training in hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, the following techniques are included in the Star Fleet Academy curriculum:
As you can see, even the logical and non-violent Vulcans have martial arts techniques from their past as part of their cultural heritage and are quite capable of defending themselves if need be...
You should be too!
Although we have presented these techniques in a tongue-in-cheek homage to William Shatner’s portrayal of James Tiberius Kirk, they are, nonetheless legitimate and serious methods of self-defense. It only takes eight pounds of pressure to break a white or yellow pine board 12 x 12 x 1 inch thick with a Judo Chop, the standard test for such a hand weapon in most martial arts schools. That same amount of pressure can break a bone or crush a larynx. The Double Ear Slap is so effective it was used to stun German sentries by British Commandoes during World War II, because it attacks a target inside the body with devastating and permanent effect. The Kidney Punch is outlawed in professional boxing. Even wearing sixteen ounce gloves is not enough protection to prevent serious injury to the kidney that result in unconsciousness or death. So, don’t be trying them on your cat or your little brother, because you could actually hurt somebody.
