The reason I am asking is that there is a discussion on aikiweb about what people who do aikido call themselves (I know what most of them should and aiki aint featured anywhere in it!). The suffix of "ka" was suggested as a term denoting a "professional" so they were not liking aikidoka. I suggested aikishi like in kenshi (I don't know squat about Japanese but i thought i'd give them a novices approach anyhoos). Turns out that was pretty retarded.

So... watashi wa kenshi desu.
Would that be how you'd say i am a kendo person?

Cheers for all your responses thus far!
