How To Tie Your Karate Belt

11/6/2013

1 Comment

 
It's been a while since I last posted! It dawned on me that we have several new students that have recently joined our organization. One of the biggest initial challenges is learning how to tie your obi (belt). I decided to create a video demonstrating how to do it.
There are several other ways to tie your belt. If in doubt, you should ask your Sensei at your home dojo how they prefer to have you tie your belt. Many Sensei's require a unique belt tying process in order to denote their martial arts school vs. another. For instance, in my dojo, it is important to me that everyone's knot on their belt points to their left hand side. In this way, we all are consistent within the dojo. For me, it is also a nod to the East... the birthplace of karate.

My son wants to learn karate and Kobudo. I don't know what the difference is but I know he has problems with tieing knots. Thanks for making it clear that each Sensei is different and will tell their students how to tie their belts.
