Tying the Belt on a Student: (Facing the Student)
With your left hand, place one end of the belt on student's spine behind their right elbow and hold it with your right hand.
Use your left hand to wrap the belt around their waist 2 times going counter clockwise. (Make sure the belt does not twist while wrapping and the belt will be stacked or layered on top of itself.)
At their navel, take the long end of the belt and tuck it under (from bottom to top) between the belt and the student's uniform.
At this point, you can pull end end of the betl that is at the small of the student's back downward and out from under the layers of wrapped belt. Pull this end of the belt out until it is free to a point in the center of their body at the navel.
You should now have a crossed area at your navel.
Extend both ends in front toward you to make sure they are even. If they are not even, adjust the belt sot hat the ends are even, and the crossing is at the navel.
Tie the belt in a square knot and tighten by pulling on both ends.
With your left hand, take hold of the end of the belt that is coming upward to your right shoulder (student's left).
With your right hand, take hold of the end of the belt that is coming downward to your left.
Cross the end of the belt that is in your left hand over the end of the belt that is in your right hand, creating a circle or loop.
Take your right hand and flip the end of the belt over the front and down through the center of the loop and hold it again with the right hand.
Pull both ends of the belt down and out from the center watching to make sure the loop does not twist the belt.
The knot should be flat and may have to be loosened and re-tightened.
The correctly tied belt will have the following characteristics:
The ends of the belt should be even in length.
The opening of the square knot should be pointed to the students left.
The layers of the wrapped belt around the waist should be overlapped and not twisted.
Tying the Belt on Yourself: (Method 1, wrap right to left)
With your right hand, place one end of the belt on your spine at the small of your back.
While continuing to hold onto the end with the right hand, use your left hand to wrap the belt around your waist 2 times going counter clockwise (make sure the belt does not twist while wrapping).
At your navel, take the long end of the belt and tuck it under (from bottom to top) all layers of wrapped belt that are around your waist.
At this point, you can pull the end of the belt that is at the small of your back downward and out from under the layers of wrapped belt. Pull this end of the belt out until it is free to a point in the center of your body at your navel.
You should now have a crossed area at your navel.
Extend both ends in front of you to make sure they are even. If they are not even, adjust the belt so that the ends are even and the crossing is at your navel.
Tie the belt in a square knot and tighten by pulling on both ends.
With your left hand, take hold of the end of the belt that is coming upward to your left shoulder.
With your right hand, take hold of the end of the belt that is coming downward to your right.
Cross the end of the belt that is in your left hand over the end of the belt that is in your right hand, just a few inches from the navel creating a circle or loop.
Take your right hand or fingers flip the end of the belt over the front and down through the center of the loop (hands traded ends).
Pull both ends of the belt down and out from the center toward the sides watching to make sure the loop does not twist the belt.
The knot should be flat may have to be loosened and re-tightened.
The correctly tied belt will have the following characteristics:
The ends of the belt should be even in length.
The opening of the square knot should be pointed to the students left.
The layers of the wrapped belt around the waist should be overlapped and not twisted.
Tying the Belt on Yourself: (Method 2, from the center)
Find the center of the belt by matching the two ends until they are even.
Place center of the belt at your navel in the center of your body rank strips on left.
Wrap both ends around your waist to the back and cross the left hand above the right hand before changing hands.
Change hands and continue wrapping each belt end around your waist until they are back in front of your body.
Starting from the navel and going clockwise, run your hands completely around the belt wrapping to ensure that the belt closest to your body remains underneath to prevent a twisting of the belt in the back.
Take the end of the belt that is on the outside (coming from the right), and tuck it under both layers of the wrapped belt (from bottom to top).
With the right hand pull the inner most layered end down (free).
Extend both ends in front of you to make sure they are even. If they are not even, adjust the belt so that the ends are even, and the crossing is at your navel.
With your left hand, take hold of the end of the belt that is coming upward to your left shoulder.
With your right hand, take hold of the end of the belt that is coming downward to your right.
Cross the end of the belt that is in your left hand over the end of the belt that is in your right hand, just a few inches from the navel creating a circle or loop.
Take your right hand or fingers flip the end of the belt over the front and down through the center of the loop (hands traded ends).
Pull both ends of the belt down and out from the center toward the sides watching to make sure the loop does not twist the belt.
