How to tie a karate
belt
When you have worked hard to achieve your
belt, it is important to know how to tie it properly, so that you can wear it
with pride.
This is a basic guide on how to tie your
belt:
|
Find the middle of the belt and place
this at the centre of your waist at the front
|
|
Take the end in your right hand and
wrap it around your back bringing it to the front
|
|
Now take the end in your left hand,
wrap it around your back on top of the other piece, bringing it to the
front
|
|
Take that piece (now coming from the
right) and tuck it under the other two pieces and pull to the left. You
should now be able to tighten the belt to your size.
|
|
Take an end in each hand and fold the
piece in your right hand over towards your left hip
|
|
Fold the piece in your left hand over
the other end and point it towards the floor
|
|
Now take the piece pointing towards
your left hip in your left hand
|
|
Grab the end pointing towards the floor
with your right hand through the hole created at the front
|
|
Pull the end back through the hole with
your right hand and tighten to form a knot
|
|
If the ends of your belt are more than
1 inch different in length, you will need to retie your belt, starting a
little bit to the left or right from the middle of the belt in step 1.
