How to Tie Your Belt

To correctly tie your belt for Taekwon-do:

  1. At one end measure 1 forearms length of belt and hold it at that point right infant of your belly button.
  2. Wrap the longer end around your body all the way so that the longer piece crosses over the piece held against your belly button.
  3. Wrap the longer end around your body a second time until it also crosses over the belly button
  4. Take the top longer piece and run it under both piece of the belt from the bottom up and out the top of the circled belt.
  5. Hold the two tie pieces out in front of you. Notice that one is on top and once is on the bottom.
  6. Hold the bottom piece out and still. It will not move until you finish the next step
  7. Take the top piece, cross it over the bottom, wrap it around the bottom piece and push it through the hold created by the wrap.
  8. Take both pieces, making sure that they are not twisted and jerk the knot tight.
