    Like if it's the ultimate evolution of the martial arts as the show says, should I learn it to enhance my MMA career?

    Of course. If it's good enough for Star Trek and American Gladiators, you must add it to your arsenal of skills.

    Only with equally encumbered competitors. As a long-ago Shao Lin student, that giant Q-tip is no weapon at all.

    Less effective than Kirk-fu, the deadliest martial art known to man!

    It takes a double-ax-hand chop to disarm the giant q-tip

    Because that "in the form of a question" game show is looking for new material? :guffaw:

    I interpret that line as meaning it's the ultimate evolution of martial arts in the same way as rap is the ultimate evolution of Western Music... Apparently, it ultimately evolved into that.
