How to Tie Your Jiu-Jitsu Pants w/ Rener Gracie

You're welcome.

[@ScottOmaVideo]

Ten years in BJJ. Learned how to tie my pants correctly today.

I love the way this guy answers those annoying BJJ questions that some people are afraid to ask their masters.

[@kamran1]

MrGunnerguy123 If you are afraid to ask your teacher something then you need a new teacher.

[@danicm9322]

Well you shouldnt have to ask that, my master realized i weared the pants tied up in a wrong way on my 2nd day of BJJ and showed me how to do it correctly, any non shitty master should do the same.

[@MikeAcousticMusic]

That was nice Thank you

[@YinPatterns]

⁠@@kamran1your comment was from 7 years but i still wanna respond just incase you might not understand that some people are too nervous, i have a very kind sensei but im too nervous to ask anything because thats just me being nervous, other people have the same problem so i doubt its a problem which has to do with the actual teacher in most cases

[@FredPosimo]

Rener is the only person who could make a 6 and a half minute video on tying pants and keep it entertaining throughout lol

He looks so disappointed in humanity at the beginning of the video.

[@fluffoo7693]

[@TheArizonaAssasin]

Glad I'm learning this as a lowly white belt. So much better than the way I've been doing it which is not this way. I'm so glad that the Gracie family is kind enough to share all of their knowledge with the world. Thank you.

[@janinejohnstone468]

Heh ditto. And... Amen!

[@alecmegherdijian2513]

Hey whats your belt today? Just wondering

[@TheArizonaAssasin]

@@alecmegherdijian2513 I’m still at the exalted rank of two stripe white belt. I’ve been doing it on and off for the last 5 years but I’m not in any hurry to rank up and I’m not trying to compete, so I just train when I feel like it. I plan on going back next week and getting my body moving again. At this point it’s getting comical to me because at the rate I’m going, it’ll take me another few years to get my blue belt. 🤣 I think that if I can just start with a goal of staying consistent with training no less than twice a week, I’d finally be able to add some more stripes and level up. It’s really funny though because when people ask how long I’ve been doing it and I say “5 years” the looks on their faces is priceless when they look at my belt. 🤣🤣🤣 I love Jiu Jitsu, and I appreciate it a lot, and I don’t want to turn it into a grind that I don’t look forward to, so I just train when I’m feeling it.

I am new into BJJ and I am glad you took the time to explain the proper way to tie your pants 😂 Thanks

[@daveyork0]

True practice transcends any need for pants. All this Gracie stuff is of limited use against pantsless opponents and is indoctrinating wrongly. I'm not saying Rener isn't good but everything he ever shows is with him in pants. Or against other guys in pants! First he must overcome such limiting assumption and belief which the wearing of clothes represents before ascending to the state of a Master.

[@weaselshitz2010]

That's what makes him a fantastic coach

[@echeaz]

Gracies always wear gi. Always.

[@Apexgage2478]

Bro, I promise you Rener does not need to fight someone with pants on in order to win.

[@10pencils]

im just watching this as a white belt and shaking my head...i feel really dumb right now

[@Knight_Jon_Artorias]

I just got my gi and start Jiu-jitsu today. I watched his video on how to tie my belt properly. The pants on the other hand, I tied them my own way then found his video on it so I went ahead and watched it to learn the proper way. Turns out I tied mine the proper way beforehand lol I don't understand how some people get confused, I found the pants to be pretty intuitive when it comes to tying them.

[@Warbringerxxx]

[@alexandrebazinet965]

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

interesting thing to learn about. Kinda like how the color belts get tied, they go like one and a half times and then knotted at the front.

[@dp1569]

This video makes me think of the first time I walked out onto the mat at my very first class and I had my belt tied in a bow. I was late, too, and the instructor stopped the demo to personally fix my knot in front of the whole class. Humble from day one!

[@DirkDeadeye]

Fucks sake, I got it the instant I tried them on. "Oh they're like gym pants/swim trunks..okay, YANK, KNOT, nice and tight."

[@alexoja2918]

Thought that was the norm. Then i thought maybe the single strap has some special function that makes the pants unlike tae kwon do pants, so i watched this video. Turns out i'm above average intelligence.

[@turmat01]

Haha Nice video Rener! There s so many OBVIOUS shit people can't figure by themselves... Just like belts... a belst is NOT supposed to cross at the back... there is a way to tie your belt without it crossing on your back... I figured this myself when I was a white belt in Kyokushin Karate... and yet you see nidans and even sandans (2nd dan and 2rd dan black belts... thats like 10 freaking years of training) that didn't figured this out yet... For the BJJ pants, the very first time I put on my BJJ pants I figured this out myself... Its soooooo obvious, and yet, people cant seem to use their brains! I mean... for a white belt... fine... I reckon not everybody has the same level of logic... but when I see a freaking black belt that can't fucking tie a pair of pants or a stupid belt... I mean... come on! Every Dojo should spend 5 minutes per month to teach newcomers how to tie a belt properly... Hell I even saw a freaking Senseï with a belt tied improperly... You are 3rd dan, and giving a class... please... please tie your belt properly... please...

[@turmat01]

Maybe I'm too much into the traditional aspect of martial arts... but to me it's important... BJJ is a lot more relaxed and casual than say, Kyokushin, but still, tying your belt properly is a must... And for Karate schools, counting or giving techniques names in english (or french near where I live)... thats a big no-no... How hard is it to learn to count to 10 and learning a couple simple words (left, right, front, back, side, go, stop, relax, etc.) in japanese... Thats how it was at my first Karate school... No one ever said "roundhouse kick"... its a freakin Mawashi geri... a drop kick is a kakato orochi geri... learn them once and for all! It's not that hard!

[@BadBrad119]

all the time I see world class Judo Olympians tie with crossover in 2 seconds, and the belt comes undone in 1 minute. I tie my BJJ belt the traditional way with one different step so it doesn't come undone. I will use it for Judo as well when I start that. I can't see myself doing Kyokushin though. Not unless I was in Japan. I do Muay Thai at my local gym

[@turmat01]

yeah you probably tie it the same way I do! I saw a video on youtube a few years back that showed a variation on the knot thats makes the knot apear the exact same way, but the knot it 10x stronger! In kyokushin it was a big problem too, by moving and punching and especially receiving punches and kicks it would pull on the belt and undo it througout the fight... With this knot I never had an issue again. didn't get to try it for BJJ as I practised nogi, I used to wear gi pants but a t-shirt or rashguard instead of a gi top.

[@SmittyKat]

I think I would be, too... I'm a white belt and it only took me about 30 seconds to figure out what was going on with the string when I first put the pants on... but then again I do have a background in sewing, knitting and crochet so I have pretty good spatial skills when it comes to fabric and lacing, etc.

Good informative video! I am 5”9-5”10 and currently 180 but will be down to 165-170 at some point and was recommended A-3 because it will shrink a bit.

[@patrickcooper9142]

Hahahaha. Pants falldown syndrome lmao

[@Aly9315]

I suffer from that syndrome even though I tie my pants exactly how Rener showed us to do it.

[@patrickcooper9142]

Aly9315 strange, when i tie mine they stay tight all the way through training. a double knot is needed definitely.

[@wackrapsatire]

Aly9315 maybe picked the wrong size?

[@Aly9315]

Wackrapsatire Well, it is a karate gi because it was a free gi that came with my trial class in jiu-jjitsu at my new dojo, and it's a size 3. According to the size chart, I should fit it. I'm 5'3.5" and about 120 pounds. The pants just always come loose while training and grappling. Luckily since then, I bought a Tatami jiu-jitsu gi size A0, and those pants never came loose during the whole almost two hours on Sunday.
