Intro:

Today, we’re going to learn about how to tie karate belt in easy ways so let’s get started…

How to Tie Karate Belt

I’m gonna give you a couple different ways of the most common ways to tie your belt and then a couple ways they’re a little bit different, kind of interesting, and somewhat helpful especially if you’re a competitor.

Way 01: Create an X

So, The first way this is gonna create an X right in the middle of your back and now you’re gonna do this by finding the middle of the belt. All you need to do is put the two ends together, slide your hand all the way down and you’ll find the middle of the belt. You need to take that center and put it right underneath your belly button and then criss-cross your hands, this is gonna create that x right in the middle of your back.

Now, take your hand in and kind of push that x around and smooth it out. See that it’s nice and smooth all the way around but that’s up to you. Take one side and put it right against your body and the other side is going to go right on top.

Now, the one that is on top is going to go underneath both right up against your stomach and pull it, nice and tight and then make sure that everything is neat, all the way around. After this take the one on the bottom and bring it underneath and have it, do a backflip through the center, and then pull just like that shirt pull right off to the side, and then it’s gonna create that nice strong knot. So, it doesn’t really matter how you get to that position as long as the bottom one is going under the top, one on top, whatever you want to think about you can also reach through the middle and pull the top one through but that’s up to you how you want to think about it.

The way we want to avoid is, bringing the bottom one on top and then doing this because that’s gonna create this one’s that weird-looking jumbled which we don’t want. So, make sure the bottom one is on the bottom, and then we can flip it through pull it, nice and strong and we’re good to go.

Way 02: Nice Smooth Line

The second way this one is going to create a nice smooth line all the way around and what you need to do is to take the end of the belt and put it right around in the middle of your back and then wrap the other side around twice. Now, when you wrap this around it’s gonna pinch that tip of the belt down and then bring it all the way around and do that one more time, it’s all the way around two times and that tail is actually hidden, kind of underneath the rest of the belt.

Now, you could work with just one tuck that one underneath both sections of the belt and then just push that tail down and you’re back to where you were. Make sure that the ends are even and then bring the bottom one under flip it through again and we’re good to go.

Those are the first two ways, the most common ones that are used almost everywhere you might find some variations but those are the most common ways.

Important: Quick Extra Tip

It’s just a quick extra tip, make sure that when you’re tightening the belt you don’t have any extra twists in it. So, if making that last knot, you see the belt tip twisting and you have it all kind of messed up that’s gonna make it first of all not look that great but it’s also going to come undone easier. We want to make sure we untwist it.

Way 03: Especially For Competition

This way is one that you can actually use in competition to keep your belt tied, especially, if you have one of those notorious belts it just always comes undone. So, when we get to right in this position.

You’re gonna take the one that’s on the bottom and tuck it through just one of the two belt layers and leave it for just a second, it’s just enough to stick out on the bottom and you had a little loop hanging out there, the one that’s coming off the top is gonna go through and then underneath just one layer over on the side.

Now, You will see, you have a pretty bowtie-looking sort of contraption there, now as you tighten, you’ll notice that you have a nice good knot right there but the belt tips would be actually underneath. So, this is going to be nice because it’s not gonna come undone as easily so if you’re moving around or you’re doing karate, this is gonna stay tight.

Way 04: Unique Way to Tie Belt

This last one again is just a unique way to tie your karate belt. It’s not a common way by any means but it’s something you might not have seen before. You’re gonna take the belt and fold it just in half like I told you earlier. Now, the loop end there, hold that in one hand and hold the tail ends and the other and you’re just gonna push those right through the loop. Now, as you pull that down and just pull it all the way right up against your stomach. You want to make sure that you twist that so that the belt lays flat against your stomach and it’s not twisted in any way.

Now, the bottom tale the one closest to your body, push right up against your stomach and pull out the top, center up the belt, and then just like before the one that’s coming off the bottom needs to go underneath and then flip around and through, tie it, nice and tight and again this one may have a little bit of a different knot to it but it’s just a unique way to tie your belt, you might not have seen before.
