White belts will often have a tag on one end of the belt. As you progress in colors, your belts won’t have a tag anymore.
If you can’t tell if your belt is even, try standing in front of a mirror to double check.
This part can be a little tricky, especially if you’re just starting out. Don’t give up! Make sure the ends are still even in front of you.
If there are any wrinkles in your belt, smooth them out so it’s flat.
Make sure this knot is tight against your waist, but not so tight that you can’t move around or breathe. If the ends of the belt are uneven, slide your belt around on your waist to fix it before you move on.
If your belt is too tight, you can adjust it by loosening the last knot you just made. Make sure your final knot sits directly over your belly button.
The right side won’t move much throughout the tying process, so keep a good grip on it.
If your belt is short, you may be able to only wrap it around once. Wrapping the belt behind you instead of crossing it over creates a flatter, smoother line in the back.
You don’t need to undo your belt to do this, so try to just shimmy it instead of taking it off.
You can loosen the knot if you need to by grabbing the center and pulling it apart.
