I Shatner him. Or using unarmed strike as a two handed weapon.

I admit, I laughed when I read the thread title. One of the best I've seen in a while. ;)

haha, I hear you. Although it's been a while since I had to abandon my Aikido training. Maybe one of these days soon I can get back into it.

I think this thread is official derailed.

Yeah, it wasn't derailed from the very start when it was titled, "I Shatner him."

And I'd love to do an informal survey of how many Aikidoka are on the boards -- seems like quite a few.
(Loved Aikido, but stunk at it. Hated Tae Kwon Do, but was great at it. Apparently I'm just better at hitting things, or getting hit. Or both.)

Tiger style is definitely the way to go here. If you're using mythic then there's also the champion ability uncanny grapple, which lets you use someone else as a two handed weapon.

3.5 had a feat that did this, Hammerfist (or was it hammerblow?).

I was wondering if it was permitted to use unarmed strike as a 2-handed weapon. To be precise getting the 1.5STR bonus for not being able to use either hand for anything else just then.

Yes, but:

1) You must be party leader;
2) You must precede the strike with an acrobatics maneuver for now good reason;
3) You must have an outsized personality; and,
4) Your opponent must also have an outsized personality.

IF YOU'RE IN A PARTY WITH THAT GUY, NEVER, EVER WEAR RED!

Taekwondo, Krav, and Jiu Jitsu. No Aikido, though.

American kendo here. I also find that I need to forget my training whenever I read martial arts/ monk rules for a game.
