Young man, I'm 20 years older than you, and I have days when simply walking without tripping over my own feet is difficult!

Usually when I would help one of our junior students retie a white belt that was tied in a most creative wrong manner it was because a parent helped them tie the belt. Same with helping a kid tie or retie their drawstring pants. If the pants are one backwards Mom or Dad helped them decide which was the front.

 

Another handy hint is only wear your belt with your gi. If you have to come to class in sweats or something else don't wear the belt. A Father/Daughter training team came in one night sand gi (laundry problem). They were carrying their belts. Belts and tie dyed t-shirt are not appropriate.

 

From my years in the dojo I can tell you that all ages have the same amount of difficulty learning to tie the belt.

i recently took a semester of judo where many of the students, all in college, were still struggling with the aspects of belt tying near the end of the semester

I'm no longer posting here. Adios.

I am choosing to take this as a compliment, rather than the usual stunning example of pedophagy.

-- It took me a number of classes to learn to tie the belt too.

It took me a while too, which reminds me...there is a white belt at our club that has trained for a few months now and I've noticed his belt is tied partially wrong (the knot is correct but his tying process doesn't go under all the layers of belt). His best buddy is a student and a brown belt, and another friend is an orange belt, and they haven't helped him, nor has Sensei mentioned it to him. He's always with his buddies before class or I might have mentioned it to him, but I don't want to embarrass him in front of his friends, and since Sensei hasn't said anything I'm puzzled as to how to proceed, or if I should bother saying anything as Sensei will likely mention it before he has to grade for yellow. Any thoughts?

Is there a way you can take him to the side and practice a technique or help him with a kata and mention it then?

 

You know there can also come a time after your a black belt when you have this nice fancy embroidered black belt. Your name on one end the name of the school on the other end. Real cool right? Wait until you have to tie it with your name on the right and the schools name on the left. Only problem is they are both in Japanese. So how do you get things on the right sides?

 

Do you ask sensei before class or do you ask another black belt? Or maybe do you just put it on and hope you did it right?
