From the crisp white belt of a beginner to the coveted black belt of a master, the taekwondo belt is a symbol of achievement and progress. But how do you properly tie it? Follow these step-by-step instructions to ensure your belt is secure and looks its best.
First, align the two ends of the belt with each other. The belt should be long enough so that the ends extend a few inches beyond your waist. Bring the ends together at the center of your waist and cross the right end over the left. Then, take the right end and pass it behind the left end, bringing it up through the loop you created. Pull the right end tight to secure the knot.
Finally, fold the tails of the belt up and over the knot. Bring the left tail over the right tail and then tuck the right tail behind the left tail. Adjust the belt so that it is comfortable and secure. The belt should be tight enough to stay in place, but not so tight that it is uncomfortable. And there you have it—a perfectly tied taekwondo belt!

Pull the left end to tighten the belt. Then, bring the right end up and over the left end, and tuck it under the belt at the front of your waist. Finally, fluff out the ends of the belt to make it look neat.
