Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼There are at least 160 forms of martial arts (with lots of unique spellings; this would be a terrific theme for a puzzle, if it hasn’t been already). Some are hands only, others have pretty fearsome weapons; KENDO is practiced using these long bamboo poles. I watched a short demonstration and was inspired to look up kendo’s connection to Star Wars light sabers, and guess what, all you little boys who used to whack me with anything resembling a light saber in our youth, you know a little kendo. Use your power wisely, friends.
