Star Trek: Every Vulcan Ability You Need To Know

Vulcans don't have a very threatening demeanour, but they are much stronger than they appear.

They are, on average, three times stronger than humans. This is likely due to the environment they evolved in, a harsh desert world filled with large predatory animals. It's also probably a remnant of their violent past. Also, Vulcan society has produced a number of unique weapons and martial arts techniques. Ritual combat is still widely practised in Vulcan culture during The Original Series, as we see in the episode, Amok Time.

Vulcans strive for non-violence whenever possible, but whenever logic demands that the greater good would be served better by fighting, they are prepared to swiftly take out their opponent. Two known Vulcan martial arts techniques are the tal-shaya, known as a merciful method of execution in ancient Vulcan times, and Suus Mahna, a style T'Pol was very familiar with.
