Martial art’s target encompassed by culmination of fight? (5)
I believe the answer is:
kendo
'martial art's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'target encompassed by culmination of fight?' is the wordplay.
'target' becomes 'end' (end can mean one's purpose or goal).
'encompassed by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'culmination of fight?' becomes 'ko' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'end' going inside 'ko' is 'KENDO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kendo that I've seen before include "wooden fencing?" , "discipline" , "Marrtial art" , "Combat" , "Japanese art of fencing with staves" .)
