My teacher said that traditionally, female judo students wore their right gi lapel over the left, where the males wore theirs left over right. Anyone else hear about this?

 

[Marginal]

Only thing I've heard along those lines is that one direction's considered unlucky in Japan because corpses are prepared with their clothes arranged right over left. (Or something like that.)
