Hello, all.
This question is directed towards those who are knowlegable about Japanese culture... I had studied martial arts for 12 years, when I meet somebody who tells me that there is a male and a female way to tie your obi in karate.
So, my question is- is this true, or is it another "myth" that some folks are perpetuating? I guess after all these years, unless I am going to travel to Japan, I won't spend a lot of time worrying about it, but I would like to at least know if it is the case.
Thank you for your time.
Bob
