If you’re new to judo, one of the first things you’ll need to learn is how to properly tie your judo belt, also known as an obi. Tying your belt correctly not only ensures that it stays in place during your practice, but it also symbolizes respect and discipline. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to tie a judo belt like a pro.

Step 1: Begin with the Middle of the Belt

Start by placing the middle of your judo belt on your abdomen, centered just below your navel. Hold both ends of the belt in each hand and make sure they are even in length.

Step 2: Wrap Around Your Waist

Take the right end of the belt and wrap it around your waist, crossing over the middle of the belt. Ensure that the right end is crossing over the left end from top to bottom.

Step 3: Bring the Right End under both Ends

Bring the right end of the belt under both ends of the belt that are already wrapping around your waist. You should now have a loop on your right side.

Step 4: Cross the Right End over the Left End

Take the right end of the belt and cross it over the left end. This will form a second loop on your left side.

Step 5: Insert the Right End through Both Loops

Now, take the right end of the belt and insert it through both loops, from right to left. Pull the ends of the belt to tighten it securely.

Step 6: Adjust and Center the Belt

After tightening the belt, make sure it is centered on your waist. Adjust the ends to ensure they are even in length.

Step 7: Tie a Knot

To secure the belt in place, tie a knot by crossing the right end over the left end. Insert the right end through the loop formed and pull it tight.

Step 8: Final Adjustments

Stand tall and adjust the belt to make it snug and comfortable around your waist. The ends should hang evenly, about 20-30 centimeters long.

  • Pro tip: If you have excess belt length, you can tuck it under the wrapped belt to ensure it doesn’t come loose during practice.

By following these simple steps, you can confidently tie your judo belt like a seasoned practitioner. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if it takes a few tries to get it just right. Soon enough, tying your judo belt will become second nature, just like the techniques you’ll master in your judo journey.
