hi I'm mr. Levitz the head instructor of Newports karate Academy and today we're going to show you how to tie your belt how to tie your OB first thing you do is find the center of the belt usually with us a brand new they have increased easy to find the center so find the center of the belt make sure the ends are even then take the center to the center and bring it around keep one side against your body and put the other one on the outside keep feeding one side under and the other one over so there's no cross in the back take the outside one and go under both bring it up between the belts and your eat at your uniform and then just here's your chance to adjust take the bottom one and point it over take the outside one and go over and up and through make a simple knot pull tight and should be even so call this a clamshell shape some people call it a fortune cookie shape so one end goes this way and one and goes that way so that's a square knot and during class every once in a while you're going to have to pull on it again so it will stay tight otherwise it will come loose next we're going to show you how to put the belt on someone else and two different methods of doing that or three all right good luck with your training see you against it
