Rough wood taken for martial art (9)
I believe the answer is:
taekwondo
'martial art' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'rough wood taken' is the wordplay.
'rough' is an anagram indicator (a rough or broken ordering of the letters).
'wood'+'taken'='woodtaken'
'woodtaken' anagrammed gives 'TAEKWONDO'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for taekwondo that I've seen is " event".)
