You are right that ‘why’ is rarely asked directly - it seems like a blunt interrogation.
But, it’s quite common for people to ask questions like ‘how did they get into that?’.
Also, why does it have to be a ‘stranger’ asking the question? Again I agree that would be odd, but it doesn’t seem odd for a friend to be curious.

I think it can possibly come out if someone finds the sport to be odd, but at this point Karate is not an odd sport. It is extremely common sport.
