moQbara (Klingon Martial Art)

[maggedude]

Worf's french dub was rather bad.. he lost his klingon epicness

[YTMrVulcan]

I agree with Mirdala.

[Hermetiqa]

En francias? BOOOOO, NOOOO.

Should be in English.

[MysteryoftheGods]

Worf is the one trained at fighting...why does he always lose his fights?

[GreenEyedSerb]

@MysteryoftheGods None can contend with the will of THE SCRIPT!

[MysteryoftheGods]

@GreenEyedSerb *shudders* AAAHHH!!!

[Kartemest]

@MysteryoftheGods Couse when he looses everyone goes: "Oh, wow, Worf lost, inconceivable!" :)

[faketeeth6]

@MysteryoftheGods always wondered that myself

[Pahjx]

Why are they francophone Klingons?

[talakanash]

@Pahjx

I'm francophone. but I must agree, the english (original) version is so better !

[smcneal057]

Klingon Tai Chi

[mcballsauce]

umm..... that's tai chi...

[holodock]

Oh man... Never before I actually realized how gay French language is :D I am just glad Worf spent his childhood in Russia and not in France.

[Wolfsbane909]

that wrist loxk take down & pin looks familiar

[jedimagejoe]

not all tai chi is soft pe say chen old form is very klingonish and brutal. yes yang is soft but tai chi could work as a klingon martial form

[Wolfsbane909]

@jedimagejoe yes that's a tai chi block at the begining but its an aikido wrist pin

[jedimagejoe]

@Wolfsbane909 was talking about the general vibe of moqbara. you right though

[tubewatcher77]

The martial art uniforms of the future don`t look cool. The look more like pyjamas than nowaday ones.

[ruscular]

I teach Tai Chi, and I would agree that much of the movement is from the Yang style. I do think he enhance it with some stronger stiffer move to highlight the Klingon aspect for the story. He did learn on Earth growing up to tame his aggression with Tai Chi to keep from hurting other children. Then he went on to Klingon and became the champion fighter with his new advantages of control and balance. Became a tactical officer for star fleet in prowness for battle wisdom.

[DrShaym]

Worf beats up blindfolded women.

[80KungFu]

Why is Klingon martial art based on Tai Chi when they fight very aggressively, Tai Chi is a soft non aggressive system and it doesnt suit the mental aspect of a Klingon. I think base the Moqbara system on Karate would have been a better idée.

[kjvlover1611]

@80KungFu Tai Chi actually is a very effective combat system if you are taught the proper application of the techniques. Though Tai Chis is slow it is such for balance and health reasons. After all, even Kung Fu and Karate have slow forms. I know many different forms from Okinawan Karate, Korean Systems and Chinese Systems that are as slow and concentrated at Tai Chi.

[bewarethegreyghost]

@80KungFu Krav Maga might suit it better, or Muai Tai perhaps?

[Galhefaxinrk]

actually, as with Tai chi, this would be sped up and gave more force behind it in application, also....Klingons use it to clear their mind too, as they are very spiritual

[Akaoushi]

@80KungFu

You should see Tai-Chi in action by someone who was trained to use it as a combative form.

[GrigoriZhukov]

@80KungFu becasue, what better way to lure your enemy to defeat than to appear nonagresive? 8^)

[GabrielGroverMan]

@80KungFu my thoughts exactly!!!

[Anthrolithos]

@80KungFu A real warrior would know that the asymmetrical strength and accuracy built by slow movement helps to increase combat efficiency. Tai Chi and Wing Chun are still requirements of Chinese military service. In fact, many aspects of Yoga (similar in quality to Tai Ch'i) were practiced by the warriors of India as well. Don't discount a style simply because it is labeled "soft" or "non-aggressive".

[Cepharim]

@Anthrolithos Just like Akido. :)

[chrismc410]

@Anthrolithos Akido (spelling) is as non agressive as it gets but highly effective with the right practicioner. I agree with your comment. In the spirit of this video, Qapla.

[karkkosvolfe]

@80KungFu

Like most people you are completely full of misconceptions due to media...

[Gyte75]

The Klingon are a very agressive species. Then how would they be able to develop a soft Tai Chi like martial art?

[RogerwilcoFoxtrot]

You can't fight aggressively all the time. In combat I fight extemely aggressively, but, when training, I move much more slowely, to focus on perfection and building strength. Klingons, having sutra-like teachings of Kahless, and thousands of years of martial experience, would understand this. You need time to reflect and focus.

[FerretJohn]

Also Worf had studied over a dozen Earth and Federation styles, and while he may prefer to call his personal style by the Klingon name some of those styles have undoubtedly been infused into it.

[Kokuyo666]

When Worf iz zpeaking ze French, ee soundz like a poodle.

[bldrake]

I love French but Worf's voice in this video really doesn't sound Klingon-like at all

[fjccommish]

@bldrake That's how the Klingons in Fr' CHA!, the Klingon version of France, sound.

[80KungFu]

2:14 - 2:52 verrryyyy bad Tai Chi!

[shardival]

Mok'bara was based on Tai Chi, that why it looks a bit like it.

[80KungFu]

Why are you saying this to me? That was not what I was talking about at all. I was talking about commander Riker when he was using Tai Chi and it looked terrible!

[Mirdala]

Make a new video in ENGLISH!

[TheChiwhiz]

@Mirdala Tai chi also has a self-defence mode--but the main idea is not to use aggresion

[Pahjx]

@Mirdala were is it?

[Mirdala]

@Pahjx HUH?

[ndileonardo]

@Mirdala fortunately I understand French. But let's be honest...a klingon does not speak the language of surrender.

[TheXPEHBAM]

@Mirdala please, english is just an awkward form of teh noble französe!

[2wingo]

It's kinda like Tai-Chi, only the movements are hard and sharp rather than fluid and soft.

[Wontonmean]

cool, Worf is speaking French!

[NCC17O1Q]

ya =D
