How to Tie the Ninja Knot! (Ian's Knot) - World's Fastest Knot

Like this Video? Check out my Fun Creations Playlist HERE:
• Origami Ninja Star Rin...
In this video I explain how to tie the Ninja Knot, a.k.a. "Ian's Knot". This knot was discovered by Ian Fieggen back sometime in the 90's and was originally uploaded to the internet in 2000. This is the world's fastest way to tie your shoes!! (World's Fastest Shoelace Knot)
This knot can be used to tie other things such as pants, or anything that uses a string such as a gown or apron. I use it all the time to tie my scrub pants for dental school and also the disposable gowns we use in the clinic. It is also really great for tying things behind your back--makes it a breeze!
Knowing how to use this knot will save you a ton of time in the long run, and prevent trips from those other knots that become loose or knots which you might just forget how to tie altogether (lol :-P).

I'm 33 and always did bunny ears to tie my shoes, never could do it any other way. that is until now! That was so simple and easy to learn.

[@tylerbritton38]

I learnd that way too

[@JeannieRoseMenMartin]

OMG me too

[@myhlosic]

Def suggest taking the time to figure out the standard way as well, just for fun

[@RobsWorld]

Thanks so much, I am very happy they helped you out! Appreciate the comment and rating :-D

[@Lysmick_]

It's been 9 years since watching. I don't know how to tie my shoes normally anymore. This is by far the most useful video I've ever watched on KZbin. Thank you so much.

[@RobsWorld]

Thanks, it’s the only knot I use for my shoes and can also be used behind your back (for aprons, etc), bathing suits, and other things. No real reason to use any other knot, so I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I do!

[@KingNuggetHD420]

Same dude, same.. man time sure does fly

[@JJsWithJesus]

This is actually the ONLY way I know how to tie my shoes

[@ansharyan710]

the nostalgia, 7 years ago my cousin and I used to watch your videos all the time and found this gem, I’ve been using it since then for everything I tie. God bless you Rob

[@seat0_294]

Never forgot it since. I don't even remember how to do it the "normal way" now. Thanks, Rob.

[@gammondog]

The Ian Knot is very good for tying sweat pants laces. Since the laces often cross over inside the waist band,you can use just the finishing knot. I once had a pair that had the lace emerge as a closed loops which made the Ian knot the only way to tie them and still be able to easily untie them later. The only difficulty was learning how to apply tension. After a little practice the hands seem to figure it out on their own. Thanks for spreading the knowledge.

[@RobsWorld]

Sure thing, I use these to tie my scrubs without having to use a starting knot at all actually--works great!

[@sreekanthr2]

Rob's World hey upload more

[@hithere537]

+Rob's World plz upload more

[@atd420]

hey rob it saved me from geting late to school.

[@toffeetheskunk6319]

I’m autistic, and every other tutorial for every other knot just feels like there’s this moment where it is not 100% specific and it ruins the entire thing. This video is hyper-specific on ever move your fingers make. This is like, the first time I tied my shoes. Thank you so very much, Rob.

[@akshhat]

No joke, this method has saved me so much time in my life! I watched this video when it first came out (when I was 9) and I had the presence of mind to teach myself this method. I've been tying my shoelaces like this since then, and they work just as well as the regular knot. So, thank you so, SO much for this and all your other vids Rob!

[@jaredjacob7494]

How did I JUST realize he’s wearing a Rolex 😂

[@HaymanHarrison]

I love this knot, I use it roughly 20 times a day!

[@TheLoliyat36]

MineMacOfficial yeah me too :D

[@UnrealisticGamer-gh4dg]

Is that how many times it comes off

[@FizzWasTaken]

It's been 8 years, god damn time flies, I still tie my shoelaces like this to this day, thank's Rob, literally changed my life 😂

[@user-hm5vv1yw3i]

I remember when I was a kid I didn't know how to tie my shoelaces yet and the traditional knot was way too difficult for me . Then one day saw your video and ever since then I have been using this method . Thanks rob , your video still helps me in day to day basis .

[@aloraga1651]

Rob can you teach us how to whistle with 2 hand

[@ericross5048]

Alуαи oragaмι great idea

[@joeldunham9454]

that would be rad!

[@Cookiedemon368]

I’ve came back to say thank you rob for showing me this cool way to tie my shoes and everything else that I can tie I will be using this skill through out my life

[@H_S_3_S]

I remember watching these kinds of videos on ur channel when I was in elementary school. Ever since I first watched this tutorial, I’ve always tied my shoes this way! Thx for the video!!

[@Legitsedimental]

There are no tutorials on KZbin that are better than yours, I appreciate you making videos , even when you're busy...thanks.

[@liife4321]

WOW. This takes me back😂 I remember seeing this video for the first time and this is the only way I've been doing my laces etc for YEARS NOW. Will definitely be teaching my kids this😂😂😂. Thanks Rob

[@Hecatolite_]

For those who are curious: the headband says 필승, which is something along the lines of "will win for sure" or "guaranteed victory" in Korean. Oh, and he has it upside down in the beginning of the video. But right-side up in the thumbnail!

[@davee893]

Been 11 years now since I learned this and still use it to this day! Saved me hours for sure!

[@marleyreed2161]

Thanks Rob, this is easier than normal shoelace tying and its better too. Got it on my first try.

[@frankangerano9706]

Me too good video

[@jerzeeallentini4226]

Frank Angerano same here

[@glitchman1633]

Thanks Rob I finally will be on school on time your a really great KZbinR no cap bro keep up the great work😃

[@ssyy4116]

You tied head band upside down in the starting of video. It’s Korean and “Must win” ^^

[@asherbaker5189]

Hey dude I am 14 now and I have been doing this for 5 years you are litterally a life changer 👍👍

[@gsmeo309]

I started doing this, and it works great! I don't on plan using the bunny ears method anymore. It's tight enough that the laces stay put but not so tight that it's uncomfortable and I can't untie the laces easily. I've also used it for tying my sweatpants, pajama bottoms and robe and I plan on using it for my yoga pants, athletic shorts and aprons. I even tested it with one of my bikini tops.

[@kingchris3019]

If your in 2015 you know what I mean so. WHAT ARE THOSE!!!!!!!

[@manindercheema3396]

I remember learning this in grade 6 and completely forgot how to tie it normally, I am now in second year university. Thanks Rob.

[@rubyrose7858]

[@aanikabansal]

Thank you so so much! I had looked on at least 10 various websites and videos until I found this! By far, this is the clearest explanation!

[@boomheadshot7162]

[@johntaxpayer2523]

[@gothdaddy7059]

[@joefrank8901]

[@Chocolate-oy9ek]

I learned this knot in elementary and as a senior I don't know how to tie my shoes any other way. it's almost become a fun party trick since I've gotten so fast at it over the years. thanks for the tutorial homie

[@katiepop8399]

Your videos are really detailed.... :DD I like how you make every step clearly understandable for everyone to see. I would still understand how to do it even if someone posted the same tutorial faster, but I can tell that since your video is really THAT detailed, EVERYONE can understand... Awesome work, Rob! ^^

[@PhantomkevX]

Good job as always Rob!

[@eric_t123]

Very helpful. He/you did it so slowly, that helped me

[@matty5781]

[@Lazenca0]

I'm a big fan of your cube lecture videos by the way :)

[@TheDiamondOnFire]

As a kid I never understood the "normal" way of tying my shoes and could just never quite manage to pull it off. This video is where I first learned to tie my shoes from and coming back to it as a junior in high school is surreal. I hope you're aware of the impact you've had on people's lives. Thank you

[@RobsWorld]

Thank you, that made my day and very happy you learned something you could use every day from my channel 👍🏻
