Star Trek: Kirk Fu Manual Coming Next Year
2 min readA new book celebrating the unique fighting skills of Captain Kirk will come out next year on March 3.
Star Trek: Kirk Fu Manual: A Guide to Starfleet’s Most Feared Martial Art will be written by Dayton Ward and will feature illustrations by Christian Cornia.
Here is the description for the book: “Star Trek: Kirk Fu Manual is every Starfleet cadet’s must-have training guide for surviving the final frontier.
“As captain of the legendary U.S.S. Enterprise, James T. Kirk engaged in his share of fisticuffs, besting opponents with a slick combination of moves and guile that remains unmatched. Is there anyone you’d rather have watching your back as you take on Klingons, alien gladiators, genetically engineered supermen, and even the occasional giant walking reptile?
“Kirk Fu is a series of unarmed combat techniques developed by one of Starfleet’s most celebrated starship captains over several years of encounters with alien species on any number of strange new worlds. A blend of various fighting styles, Kirk Fu incorporates elements of several Earth-based martial arts forms as well as cruder methods employed in bars and back alleys on planets throughout the galaxy. It is as unorthodox in practice as it is unbelievable to behold. Including excerpts from Kirk’s own notes and personal logs, the Star Trek: Kirk Fu Manual is the perfect training guide for surviving the depths of space. With proper training and practice, every Starfleet cadet can become one with Kirk Fu.”
