Regarding Cultural studies:

I noticed that under Japan related studies, we can indicate if we did any studies of Japanese culture,etc.

So what about people who trained in something like Karate or did some other Japanese related activites such as calligraphy but it wasnt at a university or a subject? Could this count?

Like if I practiced Karate under a Japanese organization within my country and have certifications with a Japanese stamp, would it count as one of these studies?

Thank you
