Japanese self-defence system in top class Kangaroo Island function (6)
I believe the answer is:
aikido
'japanese self-defence system' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'top class kangaroo island function' is the wordplay.
'top class' becomes 'ai' (I've seen this in other clues).
'kangaroo island' becomes 'ki' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'function' becomes 'do' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ai'+'ki'+'do'='AIKIDO'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aikido that I've seen before include "Defensive moves" , "Japanese form of self-defence" , "Martial art, akin to judo" , "a particular form of art" , "one of the martial arts" .)
