It is believed that a properly tied belt is one of the components of a successful fight, especially in judo. In addition, learning how to tie a belt will move you forward, as in order to obtain a specific belt, you need to master the technique of correctly tying the belt. But more on that later. First, let us familiarize you with what belts are in judo and how to get them.
Instructions
Step 1
There are 16 belts in judo, of which 6 are colored (kyu) and 10 are black (dan). The beginner puts on a white belt or sixth kyu. To obtain it, you need to be able to properly tie a belt and put in order your training form (judogi), after which the athlete has the right to start performing throws in a standing position, holdings and suffocation.
Step 2
After a year of training, a judoka can improve his qualifications to the yellow belt (fifth kyu) and so on. After the yellow belt comes orange, green, then brown and black. Having received a black belt, an athlete can receive the title of Candidate Master of Sports (Candidate for Master of Sports), and then - MS (Master of Sports), while successfully performing in competitions. After the MS, the athlete is assigned the first dan, the second, and so on until the tenth. Tenth dan is a red belt. This is the pinnacle of judoka mastery.
Step 3
If you are serious about judo, learn how to tie a belt. This will help you get your first rank. Remember two important things: if your belt is the right length, the ends (already tied) should not drop below knee level or be higher than the bottom edge of your training jacket. Second, the ends of the tied belt should not be different in length, because their equality symbolizes absolute harmony between your body and spirit.
Step 4
So, start tying the belt (obi) from the middle of the belt. To fix the kimono correctly and securely, wrap the belt two turns, then line up the ends. Make the outer end of the belt a pick-up of both of its cuffs, and then bring the outer end of the belt up. With the same top end, start making a knot around the second end, pulling the first one through the loop. Then tighten the knot horizontally. It's all.
