I have watched a kung fu fighting movie "the real Bruce Lee" and have seen "sonic x" the episode where the big blue dragon-like blob trys to take over the city, and i've noticed that the bad guy with the hitler mustache before he sword fights in the bruce lee movie and mr.tinaca in sonic x both wear a rope-like things around their shoulders. I don't know what it is called or what it is used for. can anybody tell me those things?
