Aikido UK - In Schools - How To Tie Your Aikido Belt



AIKIDO IS A DIALOGUE OF NATURAL MOVEMENT


HOW TO TIE YOUR BELT
	Find the mid point of your belt by holding it up so the two ends are equal length.	Place the mid point flat on the mid point of your tummy!	Pass the two ends round behind you so that they cross behind.

	As you cross the ends behind you one side must lie UNDER the other (The end (1) being the one underneath).		As the belt ends come round to the front your right end (1) emerges from underneath the belt. You are aiming to create a flat "double" belt all the way round.
	Cross the left hand end (2) over the right hand end (1).		Now tuck this left end (2) up and under the "double" belt created by (1).
	Flip this end (2) so that it crosses (1) creating a "hole" and hold the belt where it now crosses with your left hand.		Take the end that is underneath (1) with your right hand.
	Post this end (1) up and into the "hole".		Take both ends and pull tight; horizontally outwards and not up & down.
	You should have a diamond shaped knot!
