How To Tie Your Karate Belt Correctly

[@bernicecpz]

This may sound a little mushy, but I feel touched to hear the significance behind the way of tying the belt. Much appreciated & thank you :D

[@subhamdawnknight]

This is one of the most beautiful essence of karate I have ever seen..

[@WhyDizzy]

1. Perfectly balanced like how all things should be

[@akyk9545]

Luck yup

Balancing speed and power and mind

[@Gastonicus]

I saw that he left the leftover bits hanging as it looks good and it's the universal standard. However Wado, old Shotokan and some old styles use to twist the hanging bits around the belt so that there are no loose ends. When I asked Yoshisiko Iwasaki (Wado ryu Shisan) why he answered that when he was just starting out as a white belt in Japan, the black belts when doing kumite (yes, you heard right...) would grab belt loose ends and give them a beating as they could not run away akin to a dog on a leash. Hence loose ends just for presentation (rei), but not for application (kumite).

[@vx2graphics]

I am using this to tie my bathrobe from now on since I don't do Karate. Love it!

[@zedosix]

I start to one side, left usually, then circle my body twice. It doesn't cross this way but feels more comfortable to wear. I used to wear it crossed but only the last few years I've uncrossed it. Of course no disrespect meant.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

+Jimmy tay ilor Great! The method displayed in the video (crossing behind your back) is the traditional Japanese way of tying the obi (belt). A modern version without the "x" also exists, but some karate organizations consider it improper. We recommend you always follow the etiquette of your dojo and sensei.

[@jakob3736]

Yes some would, but others do't.

[@alirezaamiri79]

I guess it is the best one and even Japanese do that.

[@MJ69090]

That's how I've always tied mine as well.

[@shirolobo6149]

A nice set of interpretations for memorizing how to tie the belt. Insightful too.

[@teikarate]

i used to tie my belt this way, then at some point, maybe 25 years ago I started tying it a different way which gets rid of the cross over at the back, now I see both ways in different clubs. Interestingly I took Ju Jitsu up a few months ago and when I passed my first coloured belt, it was presented to me and tied around my waist by one of the instructors in the way you have shown Jesse. Made me think that the origin of this traditional way, was simply derived from the way the old judo instructors awarded the belts to students, i.e. it just made sense to tie the obi around the student that way while standing in front of the student. I like the deeper meaning though. :) p.s. I'm sitting my 2nd Dan on Friday, only 22 years after my 1st! I may just tie my belt differently.

[@teikarate]

Passed me 2nd Dan!!!! Had to weather what seemed like an eternity of knoxkdown and grappling but I survived with only bruised ribs legs and head. No broken bonus. I love karate !!!!

[@ZirthDrince]

The most awesome script for tying the karate belt.

[@nickolsondepiolenc5843]

It is so far.. I've trained karate since for 20 yrs. No sensei or shihan ever told me like this when tying a belt 😄

[@khadijahahmed9814]

Never have I ever seen a better video on how to tie a belt and what it means spiritually! Everyday I learn something new from your amazing videos. Thank you Sensei Jesse!!

[@Corko1454]

Recently picked up karate quite casually, but didn’t have a gi or belt, decided to pick one up since I’m gonna be taking karate more seriously. This video really helped me with tying my white belt, appreciate it a lot 😁

[@shahzadkaranjia989]

Hey there buddy, as a black belt i would like to advice you to always give any degree belt the highest respect Even after having my black belt I keep all my other belts clean and in a safe place Good luck 👍😊

[@pledgestone]

Love the video and the script. I always tie my belt with the flat knot double split judo knot. Just a preference.

[@speedsterbo1e505]

I used to tie my belt that way but I do it different now and also that narration is amazing

[@emmy4537]

This was helpful. I’ve been used to single wrap belts so I needed to know how to wrap a double wrap one since they’re a requirement in my dojo now.

[@davidewart1707]

I love the explanation of this video. Very Well demonstrated and explained.

[@cute-anime224]

I am starting my first day of karate and u helped me so much with this video😊

[@oskarjohansson5757]

Hej Jessie 😀 it is importent Which side of belt who goes over to the other side in? My kyokushin instruktor said first right over left and then left under right is a rule. Becouse in other martial arts I trained they dont cared as long its locks nice and even!

[@Lentomannen3]

Thanks for the video. We are learnad to tie our belts without the cross on the back. Do you have any idea why its differs?

[@Lcky-gu2gi]

Sensei im just curious does Different Karate style have specific ways to tie their belts? Like say Goju Ryu, Shotokan or Kyokushin do they have different or its universal? Sorry for the questions Sensei but im about to start my Kyokushin Karate journey soon I just wanna be prepared Thank You

[@agelesskarate]

Wow Jesse you made us look like chumps with this video. lol I'm just doing a belt tying video and I feel like I just got stomped on. lol great video my friend.

[@chriswilcox8977]

Curiously in Japanese JuJutsu, at least the style I train (MotoHa Yoshin Ryu), we don’t tie the belt too tight, as it can be removed more quickly to use for tying and restraining techniques. We tie it the same way as this video though.

[@KARATEbyJesse]

Good tip!

[@Technosapien0101]

[@miguellanzagorta3565]

Sensei, I was wondering why the belt "need" to do a doble loop around, if with one its enough, it is for the way you suppose to tie the traditional obi?

Is this method the same when you have a bkack belt with kanji written on it? I take it you have to learn which way to orient it befire you start so the text is facing outwards?

If your school gave you any belt other than white without knowledge of tying it then I recommend you question that schools legitimacy and integrity.

[@thestikbotkid]

@@___Karma__ no I started as a white belt then I got to yellow and now I’m testing for green soon and on the test I have to tie my belt correctly and I always did a normal not

@@thestikbotkid I understand, just the example shown in this video is the normal way, the traditional way. Anything else should not have been accepted by your Sensei. I do wish you well on your test and your journey.
