Belt tying

Wearing a keiko-gi and tying one’s belt before stepping on the mat is part of being a budoka. Doing so properly is showing good etiquette in a dojo.
Therefore, the first part of a student’s yellow belt test consists of demonstrating their ability to properly wear a uniform and tie their belt. All students from yellow belt onward need to know how to tie their belt.

Please, refer to the video below for the correct way to tie your belt and practice
