emma Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Yes! that is a good idea, Another way to keep your/their belt tied and not for the your/their Gi to come undone (now wouldn't that be annoying) is to loose the body weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagpuss Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 It will always be a problem that your belt or gi rucks up. I know how it feels, i hate the fact that it does this. However a sensei once told me not to tie it too tight just enough to move about then it won't pull up your gi as you move about. It works for me give it a try. https://www.wlsa.bravehost.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why_Worry Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Well the best way of keeping it from falling off is just to not put it on in the first place, but then whats the point of that. But once you have your belt for a while it will get worn in and will stay on longer, so just be pacient and keep tightning it, but dont tie it too tight or you can't breathe.

welshdragon Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 all ours are tied flat at the back and crossed over right before you tie the knot. that way no one gets a huge bruise if we "trip" (which happens quite often with our sensei!!) and fall!! only the kids tie it crossed at the back, but then they haven't been taught to tie their belts properly yet!!!! and now the training begins...........

In most Okinawan styles the proper way is to tie the belt in a way that it crosses at the back.

supajuice Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 keep watching your belt. I slayed 200 flies with my foot and I got to poke a bird before it went away. I always wanted to do that...STICKAAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensei Rick Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 worry more about your blocks, and less about your belt. You opponent sure will. place clever martial arts phrase here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogeri Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I have only seen two ways of tieing a belt. Both seemed reasonable. Can't explain them. But they worked.So long as the loop does not impede what you are doing, then that is good. The loop also represents a particular philosophy as well.
