He definitely was a bad-ass. But I wonder if that's why, or maybe Kirk slapped him so silly he forgot he was fighting and thought he was getting dressed for the morning.

The sheer power of Kirk's attack opened a temporal rift.
Sadly, "Yesterday's Kirk-Slap" was never released to the public.
Just remember that Kirk still won the fight.
One funny thing in that scene is when the Andorian stops fighting to fix his tunic.
"Look good, fight good"
Not YET anyway...
It was, next year
There was also the innocently fluffing the pillow then throwing it at your enemy tactic that he used in "Friday's Child".
Don't forget the nice scissor leg lock Kirk put on Khan's head.
The fight where Kirk was the most vicious, that I can remember, was the beating he put on Wyatt Earp. Each one of Kirk's punches was savagely ferocious.
How about the "pummel Spock with slurs until he lets you have it" move from "This Side of Paradise" and '09?
I'll assemble a team of skilled warriors and chop them down one by one, methodically breaking apart each graceful step.
I'd love to see an equation for this... I wonder what the Kirk function would be.
Kirk is somewhat like the electron, jumping to different energy levels instantaneously.
A Dirac delta function of course. Infinite force for an infinitesimal amount of time. Only, it's a Dirac delta function with infinite area, which the mathematicians say is impossible. But, what do they know anyway?

Yes!! I bet Feynman knew Kirk could've pulled it off
The Flying Butt Slam™.
Really that Andorian was lucky. Most don't survive that move.
Nor do the assailants, by cocyx.
Or that their wraparounds have been washed at the wrong temperature and have shrunk?

The distant bell that rings for me is a line from one of the James Blish paperback adaptions, and I can't remember how it went. But it was something about Kirk using "space age" martial arts technique that was better than what we have today. I'd love to see it again if someone can find the reference. I have the books but not the time.
No franchise could handle that level of excitement. The Enterprise...or earth would end up exploding as a result of all of their A-type energy clashing.
Ahh, but the wild card is Kirk's proven, great strategic mind, and that might be able to throw Kato off long enough for Kirk to do the same thing he did to Khan.
In our cursory overview of what we have termed "Kirk-do" (the way of being Kirk), my brother and I noted the importance of furniture.
When Kirk is losing, there is no furniture nearby. And often the turning point in a fight is the discovery of furniture: perhaps a low bench Kirk can step onto and then jump off of.
His fighting style seems heavily dependent on such moves to the point that he is significantly impaired fighting in an environment with no furniture.
