To be fair, I did ask how many women he knew would be in the middle of a bar fight throwing punches.
But you do bring up a good point. Uhura is a linguist, her weapons of choice will in all likelihood be words, not fists. . . she held her own in all of the arguments she was in. . .she talked to Kirk in a way he understood 'And here I thought you only had sex with farm animals,' and she out logic-ed Spock to be placed on the Enterprise. . . obviously she is a Star Fleet graduate,obviously she took the prerequisite classes to graduate, and she was obviously at the top of her class, so she must have done relatively well in those combat classes. . .but if Uhura is on an away team physically fighting, then you've done something *wrong*. . .
edited to add:
You've never heard of MPs? You know, military police? They were in a bar. . .Pike spoke to the bartender, and I'm sure there were cameras. . .the cadets don't have to rat anyone out. . . the evidence is there. . .A cadet, in UNIFORM, supposedly representing Star Fleet assaulting a Federation civilian, with camera evidence. . . you think they only got sent back to the barracks? Again, why do you think Cupcake was mad at Kirk 3 years later? Most likely because this went on his record.
