Belts of Karate

The belts of karate are traditional clothing. It is not only a symbol of the identity of the practitioners, but also carries their growth and profound meaning on the road of karate practice.

How to tie belts of karate?

Tie from the left

1. Make sure the belt passes in front of your belly button and is parallel to your belly button. The right end of the belt should be shorter, just a few inches longer than the part you want to hang down after tying it. The right end of the belt remains motionless throughout the whole process of tying the belt.

2. After the belts of karate are wrapped around your body, wrap the left side of the belt up. The belt should be on your waist. Be sure to keep the short end on the right side at your belly button.

3. Place the long end of the belt on the short end so that their intersection is at your belly button. When the long end comes around from the back, wrap it around the belt from the top at the belly button.

4. Wrap the long end around your body again and stop at the first intersection. Depending on your waist size and the length of the belts of karate, you may not need to wrap it around your body twice, or you may need to wrap it around your body three times. However, a well-fitting belt will wrap around your body exactly twice.

5. Pull the long end of the belt to the middle of your body. Now is the time to tie the belt, and your belt should be securely wrapped around you.

6. Pull the long end of the belts of karate over the short end. The short end should be facing to your right.

7. Pull the long end under both loops of the belt on your body. The long end should go all the way down, under, and then back up.

8. Grab the ends of the belt and pull them tight. We are about halfway done. Make sure that the ends of your belt are about the same length at the end.

9. Cross the ends of the belts of karate. This is like tying a regular knot.

10. Pull the long end over the short end and pass it through the loop formed by the previous cross. Just like tying a regular knot.

11. Pull the knot tight. Pull the two ends of the belt hard until a knot is formed in the middle of your belt.

12. Tie it tight and make sure the knot is in the middle of your belts of karate. Make sure your belt is safe and does not loosen during your training.
