domo arigato gozaimashita. I have a question: is this tying appropriate to Iai only, or for Aikido and Kendo also?

[mukatsukuyoo]

it's for iai (maybe kendo too) But not for Aikido I think.

What a great idea to use the white himo for the video, it makes it much easier to see them! Thanks for the video.

A nice tutorial on the hakama. I have not seen this particular wrapping pattern before. At first, I thought he was going to demonstrate the informal knot that many practitioners use in Iaido, kendo and aikido, but then he finished it using the formal fold and tuck. There are various ways to tie the hakama, depending on what the situation and style call for. In this particular instance, I suppose this is his styles formal knot?

@GomuGomuNoBaka It's appropriate for Aikido, but I find that it's difficult for it to remain tied in this way during all the rolls we do unless it's tied VERY tight. For this reason, I've noticed that Hakama are usually tied differently by Aikidoists (they wrap the ties down through the belt on the side for both front and back so that the belt supports the hakama more securely to stay on after a long period of rolls.)

That is a great tutorial! It helped me understand how I will be making my own Hakama pants and how to properly tie them as well!

My Aikido Sensei ties his hakama one way for Aikido and then ties it this way for Iaido. My Iaido senei taught me to tie my hakama like this.
