[Saber32]

i was looking on line at martial art equipment and i came across this site where they sold sashes but they were called chorded sashes and had this string attached, i was wondering if anyone knew the difference between the conventional sash that has no string to this one and why they differ...is one better then the other?

nope.
As long as it holds around your belly snug.

I think a chorded sash sounds as though it would be easier to tie.

The regular type sash can act like a weight belt that supports your kidneys for pressure or strain moves. The chord of the chord sash would not provide this function.~
