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.
