Well, I'm only in this group since a short while, but very interested in
the Klingon Martial Arts, where it came from and what it's getting to.
>From what I have observed till now I think Aikido (although the klingon
martial arts seem to be used a tad bit more aggressive), or a form of
Kung Fu fit it best. The slow sequences Worf frequently tens to show
remind much of a Tai Chi Ch'uan which is a slow component of Kung Fu.
The actual fighting however and the handling of the weapons reminds me
more of the way an Aikido-ka uses the stick.
(Yes, I use "reminds me" since this is no complete truth but should
stimulate discussion on the subject so I get my answers too ;)
Qapla'!
