• Method 2 of 2: Knot on both sides
• Tips

1 Wrap the belt around you at the level of your navel. The right end should be shorter, just a couple of centimeters longer than the tip that will hang down when you tie the knot. This right end remains intact throughout most of the procedure.

2 Wrap the left end of the belt around your body. The belt should be around your waist. Make sure the right short end is at your belly button.

3 Place the long end over the short end, and keep this cross at the level of your navel. When the left end is wrapped, cover the top with it, and keep it at the level of the navel.

4 Wrap the long end around your body a second time, placing it on top for the first turn. Depending on the size of your waist and the length of your belt, you may sometimes not be able to wrap the belt a second time, or you may need a third circle. However, a well-fitting belt can only be wrapped twice.

5 Bring the long end towards the center. Your belt should be wrapped tightly around you. Time to start tying the knot.

6 Place the long end of the belt over the short one. The short end of the belt should point to the right.

7 Extend the long end under both layers of the waistband. He should go down, under the belt and back out.

8 Take both ends and tighten them well. We already have half of the node. Make sure your ends are the same length now.

9 Cross the two ends one above the other. This is similar to tying a regular knot.

10 Pull the long end over the second and loop it into the loop that forms from their intersection. Just like in a regular node.

11 Tighten the knot. Pull on both ends of the belt until you have a knot in the center of the belt.

12 Tighten the belt and center it. Make sure your belt holds well so that the knot won't come loose during your workout.

Method 2 of 2: Knot on both sides

1. 1 Fold the belt evenly in half to find the center. In this method, the same kind of knot is used, but the belt is twisted around the body in a different way.
2. 2 Place the center of the belt over your navel. The two sides must be the same.
3. 3 Wrap both ends around your waistband and pull the ends forward again. Behind your back, you will need to change hands. Make sure the belt wraps around itself. Take in front of you where the two ends of the belt cross again in front of you.
4. 4 Pull the left end down, under and around the two layers. Keep the belt centered and make sure this part of the knot is hidden.
5. 5 Cross the ends and tuck the left end under the right to tie a square knot. Tighten the knot and make sure everything looks level and centered.

Tips

• If you are having trouble tying the belt properly, then don't worry! The coaches forgive this for the white belts. A little practice and you will succeed.
