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).

There is a huge stage influence. Just look at how 90% of the planets are a couple of boulders in front of a cyc.

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.

Nothing wrong at all. Nearly everything is overdone in the OG series. That’s why I love it.
