    For real something was wrong with the TOS stunt coordinator or something.

      It looks a lot like stage fighting. Something that would still be clear to viewers sitting really far away (or I guess with tiny, blurry 1960s TVs in this case).

        It’s basically that. These have a lot in common with pro-wrestling moves. They all carry some element of risk (like the drop kick), but the physicality isn’t impossible to achieve with some coaching.
