    Did a little research myself, take this however you want. 

    Straight from the Star Trek website: 
          "Sulu was an active hobbyist with interests including fencing, botany, and the martial arts of his native culture; in fact, when the helmsman was infected with the Psi 3000 virus in 2266 he threatened the bridge with his foil." 
     
    I got your back Vinny!

    Yeah... that is why I said "take this however you want."  However the "of his native culture" bit sorta makes me think karate or something similar.

    'The martial arts of his native culture,' could be construed as all  of them ;-)

    @Jambones: I've never watched Star Wars; is he Chinese or Japanese? That would be a pretty decent indicator whether it be karate or kung fu etc.
     
    I'm internet dyslexic though; even with the wink I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. Apologies if you were.

    @GetEveryone: Sacrilege! lol.  He's Japanese, so it'd be karate, amongst other things.

    @Milkman:
    Because he is obvioiusly asian?  And karate originates from that part of the world?  These are just theories... I don't know shit about Star Trek, I'm just pointing out that maybe Vinny wasn't wrong.

    Clearly Capoeira is the martial art of his native culture!
