How To Tie Your Karate Belt

Every karate student should be proud to wear their uniform. Keeping it clean and wearing it proudly must be a priority. Only brown belts and higher are allowed to wear a black gi. The sleeves should be rolled up or cut off between the wrist and elbow. If a T-Shirt is worn, it must be white. All students orange belt and higher are required to tie their belt the correct way. The following video will show you the correct way. Thank You...Sensei
