How to tie a hakama on

[NinjaFreak500]

I am getting a hakama soon and I was wondering how the heck do you tie a hakama (good vid).

[ehetleos]

Very helpful indeed! Probably the most quick and easy i have watched (and i watched them all!!! ).

Works for me just fine and the Hakama stays in place throughout the lesson.

Cheers man!

[dirosaga]

srry but that was more showing off than helpful. Would you show someone any aikido technique in fast forward? lol. needed to be way slower, and zoom in on certain knots, and maybe even some verbal explaniation.

[Dojocho]

There are many ways that are correct according to your art...the tie in front is importsant too the cross tie you made is used for funerals and more important cerimonies..not practice....... a simple not is enough. Senoir Member of diatoryu Takumakai Osaka Hombu..sorry for bad englash.

[TreesOnToast]

thankyou very much for the video! :D

[adwana]

Either its traditional or not, i think there's nothing wrong if you tie your hakama differently as long as your comfortable from it and it won't hinder your practice. For me it's okay.

What important is your determination to practice.

@zolleymokus: Could you tell me the width of your belt is it 4cm or 7cm? I kinda like the looks of your belt, right now i'm planning to buy my OBI in tozandoshop but i was wondering what to buy.

Your reply will be much very much appreciated. Thanks

[zolleymokus]

@adwana It's about 4cm, the 7cm one is a "special case" I think :)

[adwana]

@zolleymokus: Yey, thanks! Okay i'll be cliking the button send and will be waiting till my order arrives.

Thanks again. =)

Also could you tell me something about the material of your hakama. Is it cotton, polyester or tetron? Would you mind if i ask you if where did you bought it? It looks very elegant and neat yet durable.

[machetey]

i kinda wana gety a hakama and gi for a samurai halloween costume but idk if i cud hold my pee long enough to take it off.

[mfte260]

The music is pointless. A discussion would be much more helpful. Unfortunately, because of the black on black, it is VERY hard to see how the final looping is performed. You may need to turn 45 degrees to demonstrate parts of this, so that you are working with a non-black background. However, I did get something out of the earlier segments.

[Charliehoffer]

This is a useful and quick solution, with perfect and comfortable grip.

[LittleImpaler]

My friend that wears this, he says it's so annoying when you have to go to the bathroom. I wish they would make automatic Hakama.

[yyadelj]

Don't worry guys, there are few more ways to

put on hakama depend on the style you learn.

Most important thing is

avoid tying in your back when you train martial arts.

All knots should be at the front

to avoid injuring your back.

[81budoka]

I am a Jujitsu-ka, and have been studying the Martial Arts for many years. And this is exactly the way that my Jujitsu Sensei taught me during my Shodan promotion ceremony. Well done.

Arigato gozaimashita.

[jellybeanguitarist]

you have to wear pants underneath? o.o

[CatNipSmoker]

@jellybeanguitarist I was thinking that also. I always thought these were the pants, not something you were over them. I never noticed the side slots, so I guess unless we want to show off bare ass, some PJs would be recommended :)

[jellybeanguitarist]

@CatNipSmoker

Really? My hakama doesn't show any ass at all D:

But that may be because I have one for kendo. Maybe the aikido one would show some ass....o.o

[Momoyama79]

This isn't how I tie mine. I tie mine how I was shown by my Aikido Sensei which was starting at the front. I am NOT an expert in this and understand that there are different ways to do it but there are "set" ways. I believe you've finished with a farmer's knot, not a warrior's knot. Thanks for posting anyway.

[cluenobody]

thank you for informative video.

[devildemon666]

Thank you very much for posting your video, I've been looking for the better half of a day trying to find a tutorial that I could understand, Now I can wear my halama without worrying about falling down or it looking a mess.

Thank you.

[lXsakuraXkissXl]

what the black belt?

[zDSpider]

And by way, you should've faced the window or a spotlight or something like you did at 0:07 because people can't really see anything. Or was THAT the whole point ?

[pockettigger]

LOL you must be 2 hours before the class for put on you a hakama with this technic..

[zDSpider]

More like 5-10 minutes... I usually take my time with it. So a good 15 minutes is more than enough.

[NightVista]

How funny, I was looking for this song- I remember playing the VIDEOGAME.

I was looking to see if someone had already posted instruction on making Kosode and hakamas, but I havne't found a video yet, so I think I will have to make one :)

[CaptainHitsugaya66]

I cant really comprehend how to do it via this video. I cant really see how he ties it, and it would help if he went slower and talked you through it.

[ThaSeagull]

AWESOME!! Ty guys! :D

[robertgnv]

So lets say you did Aikido, and you thought you were right all the time... oh... but i repeat myself - Mark Twain

[pkforyounotme]

explain to me how that makes sense, im sorry, i just dont get it

[robertgnv]

I have been doing Aikido since the late 80's and am a senior member of my local Dojo but I travel a lot so I have trained in Europe, the middle east, South and North America.

But Aikido school are different so my usually joke is that all martial artists think they are right... People who do Aikido think they are more right than everyone else.

The Mark Twain quote is:

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

[2redstick]

There are many different style of tying the knot at the end but only ONE way to ware the hakama: first wrap the front piece belts around the waist 2 to 3 times and tie the knot in one's back. Then tie the back piece by tucking the back piece's belts under the front piece's belt and then tie the knot in the front center of the hakama. Please don't ware the hakama like this in Japan. They will die laughing. One should study more before showing off to the world and make oneself like a fool.

[xenadon]

Agreed. Although in Aikido, unlike kendo and iaido, there's a lot more rolling and tumbling around on the ground so maybe this is the best way to tie it so it doesn't come untied easily. I don't know, I don't do aikido.

[spiritualkilo]

we tie our hakama very differently at my school, i know there are many different styles, but i noticed you tied the back notes to your belt, and then wore the front over top, what if i wanted to wear show my belt using this style?

[rassanbellah22]

remember guys there are many ways of putting on your hakama. if your unsure ask your sensei at your dojo on how to pu it on and to fold it. I know many ways for tying it but I only need for my kenjutsu class and it's in the exact opposite that was shown on this video

[bornimperfect]

hey, if i may ask what song is this, its got a good beat xD

[zolleymokus]

It's Last Ninja by Instant Remedy

[fullofsemen]

thank you

[Chobit2010]

thank u very much my feancee got a kendo set and i wasn't sure how it was supposed to go on

[MikadoObsessed]

would you please post a video of putting on the front first

[14715829]

i got all of the start bit, but how do you get the little cross/bow thing at the front, i would really like to leaqrn how to do this but i need sumone to explain it , anyone ??

[MikadoObsessed]

ditto

[dachandepred]

wow, he put that on wrong....

[slicksilver07]

YA you are right !!!!!! its front first then the back!!!

[zolleymokus]

there are more than one ways to the top of Mt. Fuji...

[blugularis]

@zolleymokus yes, but this is bass ackward!

[tgnrogue]

How well and long does it stay on after being thrown around doing just ukemi for a few hours the way you tie it? Just curoious as i am looking aroudn tryign to find the best way for tieing it for that sole purpose, although the way I have been shown so far, again a different method, is the best at doing so I am still looking.

[DanTheShotokanKid]

@slicksilver07 I want the know is what the real traditional way is. Because everyone does it differently and I want to know because whoever created Aikido, i think we should tie it the same to pay respect to him.

[OldAikiDog]

I've seen some Karate & Ju Jitsu styles where they wear hakama, but with their belt on the outside of it. As an Aikidoka & Kendoka, I've never seen this before. Can anyone explain why they do this?

[zolleymokus]

I even saw an aikido video somewhere where the belt was outsite. Have no idea why...

[ketsan]

I know of one ju-jitsu organisation that is decended from Judo and of course in Judo they do not wear hakama. So this lot have obviously decided to adopt hakama but have no clue how to put one on.

[14715829]

Thanks, this video helped me loads

[ReiMonCoH]

YUP..you do it backwards..ME TOO! cuz it dosent fall down halfway through class if you tie it this way..The fact is, the only reason to tie it front first is if your going to wear it all day. Then you can untie the knot to DROP TROW..Very true, like the flap on Long Johns.. BUT I only wear it for an hour for Class, so no need for the POOPing concern. SERIOUSLY, thats the only reason to tie it front first....

[tmanf22]

the front goes on first.

[Hinokochan]

actually it depends on what martial art you are studying. and also on the school you're training with.

[tmanf22]

O.k. because in Jujutsu and Kenjutsu we tie the front on first.

[tskigal]

seems like a lot of trouble, don't tie mine that way.

[ignisfatuus17]

Is the song from The Last Ninja (C64)? Brilliant! Thanks for the info too.

[zolleymokus]

Yes, the song is Last Ninja by Instant Remedy

[kittyx93]

umm were my belt is is ther supose to be a big lump?

[SpottyBloomers]

Lmao.

Well... Are you a guy? ;D

[battousaiblade]

hey thanks, i was not sure how to tie it, but thanks for showing me how. you helped me alot! arigatou!!!

[eerkunt]

very interesting technique to wear hakama. We do it almost completely different, too.

[swordsman5]

I never realised that for Aikido it is completely the reverse of the way a hakama is tied for Iai/Kendo/Kenjutsu.

[Roanny29]

Thank you so much. I had to wear my Hakama for the first time and I was lost...Thank you.

[zolleymokus]

No problem. The reason I made the video because I was lost once myself :). So I went to the training and asked the Sensei to demonstrate his way of tying his hakama.

The funny thing is that I do it almost completely differently :).
