Jiu Jitsu in Star Trek

[Nat Cummings]

Was watching the original Star Trek today and saw 2 examples of BJJ. At the start, Kirk was fighting some chick and he very poorly choreographed a mount before she swept him to full guard. The chick got scared off by some dudes but still.
THEN some diplomat attacked Kirk with these 2 knife things and he kicked one out of the guy's hand. After that he pulled some standing Americana to disarm him of the other knife.
I thought that was pretty bad ass. Has anybody seen BJJ in old shows/movies?

[Nat Cummings]

Paul Walker uses Jits in the Fast and Furious.

Pretty sure you saw Judo, not BJJ. Kirk was famous for his sacrifice throw.

So much so that at our gym we refer to the sacrifice throw as the, "Captain Kirk".

Who would win a grappling match between a top Vulcan athelete or a top Klingon athlete?

[AJ Camacho]

The Vulcan, the Klingon would just spazz out and gas before succumbing to the Vulcan's technical prowess.
