Tying the OBI

The diagram below shows the correct way to tie the belt. When finished, both ends of the belt should be the same length and hang downward. Once the knot is tightened, the outer portions of the belt behind the knot should be pulled tight. You should wear your belt loose enough so that it will slide over your hips.
