How to tie your martial arts belt

Image:

HOLD A THIRD OF THE BELT IN THE LEFT HAND AND 'ONLY' WRAP THE REST OF THE BELT IN YOUR 'RIGHT' HAND AROUND THE BODY

Image:

MAKE SURE THAT THE BELT DOES NOT TWIST AT ANY POINT AROUND THE BODY AND THAT THE BELT LAYS 'FLAT' ALL THE WAY AROUND THE WAIST.

Image:

STILL ONLY USING THE BELT IN THE RIGHT HAND, TUCK IT 'UNDER' THE BELT WHERE THE LEFT HAND SIDE IS AND LOOP OVER TO HANG.

Image:

AS THE BELT HANGS DOWN, NOW USE THE OTHER PART OF THE BELT.
THERE ARE TWO METHODS FOR THIS NEXT SECTION. EITHER CROSS THE BELT 'OVER' THE HANGING BELT OR CROSS 'UNDER', AND PULL ENDS THROUGH THE LOOP NOW CREATED.

Image:

AS YOU PULL THE BELT, TRY A LITTLE TWIST AS YOU PULL. IT GIVES THE KNOT A LITTLE MORE OF A FRICTION HOLD.
PLEASE TRY TO ENSURE THAT THE BELT IS NOW OF TWO EQUAL LENGTHS. IF IT IS NOT, THEN ADJUST THE STARTING LENGTH OF THE LEFT HAND.
