How to tie your karate belt

[fmjausmerican]

you should change the characters on your belt theyre in chinese

[trosanelli]

@fmjausmerican - Which side of the belt? I had a Japanese translator provide me with the best Kanji interpretation of our school name - Maximum Impact Karate. The kanji for karate is very easy to recognize Japanese.

[fmjausmerican]

@trosanelli i think its on the right but still Japanese does have similar characters so sorry i might be wrong

[DrPsyc71]

Thank you for this extremely helpful video. May you and yours have a Happy Holiday season.

[stigoblogg]

He is so awkward.

[TheKylebuschfan100]

my sensei will be happy. lol.

[ThePhantomPS3boy]

This ain't helping at all. I bought a Street Fighter Ryu costume and I forgot how to tie my obi. It's to small, so fail on my part.

[zSpiRiTxp]

I got my gi and i put it on and the sleeves went pasted my arms and in length it went all the way down to my knees is it too big

[trosanelli]

@zSpiRiTxp - Gi's shrink alot over time.

[guitarttimman]

I have a brown belt in Shotokan from years ago and recently got a yellow belt in Kenpo. Is that good? :-)

[nerfraider]

[greatfxproductions]

[CountSidius]

I just got my Black Belt today!!! 1st Dan Karate! So I wanted to check that I was doing my belt right and I am!

[BoOmBoOmPaL]

Thank you for this video:)

it's quite sad that I don't know how to tie a belt properly, i have been practiving karate for a few months now...

[EpicCgan]

does thsi work with all martial arts??? like Kenpo Karate?

[trosanelli]

@EpicCgan - Kenpo Karate ties the belt with the knot on the opposite side.

[trosanelli]

@TechTalker34 - This video was originally produced for my student's parents. The first method was intended for parent's of my 4 to 6 yr olds. It leaves a cross in the back but is much easier to teach. Originally, this method you are suppose to slid the one side under the other to achieve the same result of the advanced method, but it's too hard to explain to parents so I just worry about the knot first.

[mitkoIkken]

thanks for the tip :) why I think that he is sitting on a imaginable chair

[1banryukyu]

Sensei

Maybe you should make a video about Reiho or courtesy. Sometimes we may forget ourselves and not show others the common courtesy and respect that we should. Martial Arts or Bujutsu are also about Shin Shin, the cultivation of mind body and soul. If we respect ourselves we are able to truly respect others and what they do. Osu

[mrtraditional31]

why would you need to teach advanced karate students how to tie there belt, dont they know how???

Also, the japanese have a very black and white way of looking if something is right or wrong; it's either right or wrong. When you tie your belt, you either tie it the right way or the wrong way. Your easy method is incorrect; it's wrong; schools that teach karate this way are usually Americanized schools or non traditional schools.

[MentalBadger]

@mrtraditional31 and that makes them 'inferior' because?

[trosanelli]

@mrtraditional31 - You are correct about the Japanese strong sense of right and wrong. The first method according to them would be incorrect. When I started teaching, I realized I need a step by step method of teaching. The goal is to teach the knot first and the rest later. In our school, belt tying is a requirement that they test for at testing. The standard is a correctly tied belt in less than 30 secs.

[kagegarou]

@mrtraditional31 I agree that Japanese are very strict about the way things are done. However the first method of tying the belt is neither incorrect or Americanized. I have met lots of Japanese masters that tie their belt that way. Some schools teach it that way. That doesn't make them incorrect.

[Antofacald]

thanks sensehi

[mralker1]

thanks

[GRIMREAPER391]

hey thanks for this video it helped me a lot, now i know how to tie it the advance way

[GrandMasterMace]

none of these vids make any sense about the crosses

[icecubey1]

hell

i am a black belt to 3 dan

[victom111]

oh, lol i found out the reason it is a size 2 and im nearly fully grown now ^.^ ty for info tho, any way im going to yellow belt soon =D i can do the first kata realy well =D

[XXXM3T4LL1C4XXX]

@victom111 just practice and you'll get far i'm going to black belt soon

[victom111]

what if our belt is too small(or our gut too big)

just by a little bit than what do we do?

[Tazy50]

@victom111 well you'll have to get a bigger belt. and i assume you must be in martial arts if you need that belt, and if you're in martial arts, your gut will lose weight... :)

[trosanelli]

@victom111 - The advanced method uses a few inches less than the easy method. If this is not enough, I would ask to go up in size for the next test.

[miguelandrei]

Cheers mate ..thnx..

[MrSatan87]

That was awesome! I like the advanced method alot! Thank you! :)

[drokles]

I think you should have used a white or orange belt. But thanks for this vid, I'll be using it when I get my gi :).

[hwaycasie30728]

the first method doesn't cross in the back if you tuck one end under the other, i usually prefer to bring what will end up being my right side on the bottom...

[trosanelli]

Thanks for the tip! I think it will be helpful to everyone. Yes, I have seen people tuck it before. It's hard to visualize and I wish I had thought to show it in the video.

[ChestnutHillChurch]

Very cool, Tim! Thanks for the information!
