Only fair to credit Treklit author (and former marine) Dayton Ward for his Kirk-fu 2020 book and for coining the term.

Here’s an interview with Ward from the time of its release.

So powerful no shirt can contain it.

You laugh now, but just you wait until you get doublefisted by Kirk from behind.

I read that double handed punch was popular in film back then because they needed big, dynamic attacks, that looked powerful, but they didn’t have the fight choreography knowledge yet to use actual fighting moves. This move looks impactful, but doesn’t actually do much damage, so they can go full force without concern of putting a star actor on disability.

Is he gonna shove that up a lizards asshole
