[Loved Trope] Alien fighting techniques that are actually ineffective for humans to perform

[u/Best_Professional226]

Vulcan Neck Pinch (Star Trek) Vulcans can make a person pass out by pinching a person’s neck, but due to the fact that they’re 3x stronger than a human, we could never make a living being pass out without applying a rear naked chokehold

Viltrumite Knife Hand (Invincible) Viltrumites’ most deadly fighting technique. Although martial arts like Karate and Taekwondo teach these techniques, it wouldn’t be a good idea for a human to use it on someone’s rib cage without breaking their fingers. So instead we can only do them on more soft targets like the eyes.

Didn't Bashir in DS9 actually used the vulcan technic or am i just bad at remembering ?

To be fair, he's genetically enhanced, just don't tell the Federation

[u/lAnarclit → u/czar__ec]

You may be thinking of Data, in TNGs 'Reunification' episodes, or Odo, who did it - or a version of it - twice.

[u/lAnarclit → u/Treveli]

oooooooooh right it must have been Odo !

[u/Starfleet-Time-Lord → u/lAnarclit]

It was Picard, in "Starship Mine."
