I'm not offended by kendo-ist, it's just a little awkward. If you're speaking to someone who doesn't know kendo, it's easiest to say "I practice Japanese fencing". "Kendo player" also works for me.

Yeah, "I practice kendo" is the phrase I usually use.
Kendoist sounds weird to my ears, but then I don't have english as my native language.
