phasers are for wimps
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down the top 10 greatest of
William Shatner’s Captain Kirk fighting
moves for the purpose of this list we
will be focusing exclusively on the
moves from episodes of the original
1960s Star Trek series just so there’s
no confusion we’ve taken a few liberties
with the editing of these clips to
really bring out the awesome you’ll know
him when you see him number 10
pillow blindness kicking off our list is
the move demonstrated by Kirk in the
episode in which the enterprise is
invaded by invisible time accelerated
aliens with Kirk being similarly
accelerated by the alien queen he’s
informed that their men have become
sterile with his man seat on the line
and the Queen’s would-be lover getting
jealous
Kirk is forced to defend himself
sleepover style
number nine the ear slap in this
psychotic full but slow motion fight
Kirk has been sent to an uninhabited
asteroid and made to fight the captain
of an opposing ship in unarmed combat
taking on the Gorn a creature many times
his strength
Kirk is caught up in an unfriendly bear
hug and threatened with a little nibble
on the neck thinking fast he substitutes
pushing power for a double slap to the
creatures ear holes
I wonder if PETA sent the many letters
number 8 the kiss and dismiss during
this adventure Kirk and his away team
are forced into slavery and trained to
become gladiators desperate for Intel
Kirk decides to coax information from a
fellow captive by introducing her to
foreign concepts of freedom and love of
course this was all a ruse so that Kirk
could eventually try out his latest move
I’m sorry China number seven the human
bowling ball when Kirk and Company
beamed down to a mysterious planet they
soon discovered that a computer
posing as a false god is controlling the
locals when the naive and innocent
natives are instructed to kill the away
team Kirk decides to roll out one of his
best techniques yet to the untrained eye
this may look like he’s assuming the
fetal position and allowing his
attackers to trip over him but watch it
again and you may begin to comprehend
the brilliance
number six the human projectile
with the enterprise sent back to 1969
due to a high gravity black star the
ship is picked up by radar and
accidentally downs an army jet to
preserve the timeline they transport to
a military base to recover the aircraft
surveillance footage
this forces Kirk to by his team some
time to beam out by taking on three
members of the army security team using
yet another full-body non-lethal assault
number five wall of destruction while
transporting dignitaries to a peace
conference it soon becomes apparent that
there is an assassin on the loose
Kirk soon discovers the killer’s
identity when he’s threatened with a
knife I guess they don’t have metal
detectors in the 23rd century anyway
during their fight scene Kirk decides to
lay down his best impression of
WrestleMania points for style but it
does leave him vulnerable number four
the scissor choke in this episode Kirk
inadvertently revives Khan and his army
of genetically modified goons from cryo
sleep when his ship is taken over he
confronts the mad man in the engineering
room in a fight to save the enterprise
from exploding as Khan is far superior
to Kirk in terms of full upper-body
strength
old Jim relies on the scissor power of
his toned thighs to save the day
number three the curt kick when the
Enterprise crew is found trespassing in
a forbidden sector of space Kirk and his
team are sent to die in a reenactment of
the okay Corral shootout as everything’s
just an illusion may go all matrix and
make the bullets ineffective by not
believing in them this radical turn of
events is key as it allows Kirk to
literally kick things into gear number
two a shatner chop if Kirk can claim any
one move that he’s used the most
it’s the chop to the neck in this early
use of the slice attack
Kirk is forced to fight corrupted
Starfleet officer Gary Mitchell after he
begins misusing his recently acquired
godlike powers seizing an opportunity to
strike back
Kirk chops him down to size fight
number one the double fist taking the
top spot on our countdown is the most
iconic technique in the Shatner combat
roster one that even beats out the neck
chopped math is the international
language of the universe so if one fist
is good two fists are always better
an iconic maneuver is best remembered
for the iconic episode it’s used in
namely the aforementioned arena episode
against the Gorn captain bring-down that
hammer Jimbo loved our list we know you
