This is how I learned to tie it from aikido and aikijutsu before starting judo. I noticed no one else in my judo class tied their belt like me, so I started to wonder if it was wrong. Now I know it’s just the Japanese way. Very interesting.
Thats interesting! I live in the middle of the alps and my sensei taught us the japanese way.
Are you Swiss?
@@PeterMettlerMartialArts Im Austrian
That;s because its not japanese. The japanese way involves twisting one side before bringing it around to create a space for your sword. It also doesn't come off as easily. Every time I dropped in on a bjj class I was the only one not losing my gi and retying my belt every roll
Thanks! Ive been doing that for years! My first Judo instructer had begun his training at the Kodokan in the 50's.
I am in New Zealand and my karate instructor, who was from England, taught me this way. Also in judo this was the preferred way too as it stays together, longer. This was how I got my students I judo to do it when I was teaching. I got to say that alot of people do it the way you do. Kia ora from NZ
2 Year ago I started training a refined form of Japanese Jiujitsu, I learned to tie my belt like that before my first class via the youtube from some other video and i didnt even knew this was a Japanese way to do it but I find it easy and slick to do that way aswell. After few months I got my Yellow belt and on the same day i got some injury or neck shoulder back muscle sprain or something man it hurt for months and i didnt train since then at all, i still feel it from time to time. I wanna go back but kinda affraid..or maybe try and take it easy even tho we only train 2 days a week.
Rener calls the Japanese way "hollywood" cause it looks so good
And he calls it the super lock when you weave it through the belt. Rener calls that the Hollywood super lock, I believe.
@Grappling Friends I’m not salty 🥺
But Things in Hollywood look shitty and things in japan are just done right
Who’s cares what those helio faction guys call it. They duped the world that jiu jitsu came from Brazil
I also tie it like that, I’m spanish and my sensei show it to me like that, I didn’t know that in Japan was the same way. Thanks!
Top tip:
Tie the belt the first way, starting from the front middle of the waist. Before you tie the second knot, put your thumb in between the layers. Start at the front and move your thumb all the way around your body, keeping your thumb between the two layers of your belt. When you get back to the front on the other side, you’ll notice it “pop” and the cross over at the back will be at the front and “un-cross” itself. You can then tie the final knot and still tuck in the two ends in-between the layers. Hard to explain, easier once you see it. This way you get the best of both worlds without having the crossover but it’s quick.
That’s how I do it too
It is also called a "Lock knot - Hollywood style". It is nice, the belt withstands even the most fierce randori.
Even the smallest step in a new direction is still the first step. Great video, and thank you
I always tie my belt this way. Two advantages: the belt does not cross in you back; and it is very hard for this knot to come undone.
Thanks for showing this!! Great Content
truly a classic the way that shintaro shows haha
My Taekwondo instructor back in the day taught us the advantage of the belt crossing was that it was flatter, so if you fall on your back it creates less of an impact. Probably doesn't make a difference really, but that's what stuck
My senpai taught me the Japanese way on my first very day of training so I've always been doing it like that for over 30 years. I just learned from this video that not everybodg ties their belt that way.
The Japanese style is the ONLY way I tie my belt. To be honest it's the only way I know how to tie it though.
I tie it this way too. But I tied it the "normal" way for many years
Same this is my "default" tie
Same for me. 20 something years doing Japanese martial arts in the UK and this was the first way I was shown. Stuck with me since even though i see the majority doing the "other" way
There are some interesting variations that can be found through Google Images, and so on, that you might find interesting. Like tying a necktie, you know? Different styles for different company & different moods. With kind regards to you. *bows*
Same 😆 I don't know another way
I did the first one for the first 20 years doing martial arts, have done the last one for the last 10 years now. I prefer the neat one cause it looks good and the belt doesn't come apart so easy with that knot. And I like how it looks from the back.
Thank you guys
I tie mine pretty much like your cousin, except I hold mine on my left hip as I wrap it, then pull the whole thing to center after the 2nd wrap. There's also one other knot that's used about equally much that lies slightly flatter... my instructor uses that one. Either way, I'm all for the cleaner overlap.
also known as the superlock, or the hollywood, or... didn't know that's a japan-thing. But I only tie it like this (sightly different) since white belt, because it doesn't come off so often in rounds (BJJ). Thx for the input!
Mind = Blown
Finally solving that unaesthetic crossover in the back 🤙🏻
Brought to you by the culture that also invented Origami 🤗
We've been taught this japanese knot as well recently, but I haven't had the time to get the muscle memory for it so for now I'll keep using the normal one until we can start practicing full-time again (I'm in Sweden for context).
Thanks for sharing. I’m going to try this. 🙏🥋🔥
Thanks again Shintaro. It never ceases to bemuse me how otherwise rational martial artists rate a students skill level by how well they tie their belt. And or, if the way they tie their belt, matches the way it is done in their own school. Simply hilarious, loads of fun for the whole family. In my last school no one wore belts for any reason. More skilled and powerful students were always felt, rather than seen. Now at long last I can finally tie my belt correctly, I think. Sigh.......!
I hate the criss-cross belt thing... it's ugly... It does take some practice to tie it the Japanese way, but it is more practical --> my belt doesn't untie at all during training sessions...
Such a great channel! I learn so much from your vids. Much continued success to you, bro!
BTW...I learned how to tie the belt your cousin showed from the Gracies. The tuck keeps your belt from unraveling. Good stuff.
Love tying my belt Superlock style
The best knot, but takes time. I use the first way if it’s on between rolls and the clock is on
It also helps to keep the belt tied because you tuck it into itself! I find that my belt doesn't come undone when I'm sparring when I do it the Japanese way
Did not know this as a Japanese way to tie.
the way the white dogi tied was taught simply as the right way to tie while shintaro's way was taught a the quick way to get back to randori or not take too much time during shiai when the belt comes off.
I use both methods. It depends whether or not I want it to come undone in a contest ;)
Thats a good point.
The Hollywood super lock. Thats literally the only way I know how to tie my belt 😆
Now if we can just get the BJJ folks to sign on.... drives me crazy.
Why? Is it that big of a deal?
@@DOOMLORDHOKAGE actually yes. The north- south knot is less secure and gets in the way otherwise. This is why BJJ folks loose their belts so often. They tend to dodge the problem by claiming it’s a strategic advantage. To which I’ve been known to reply by wrapping their heads up in their jackets or grabbing their belts off the floor and loop them around their necks. ‘Cause, I’m a dick like that.
@@avenuex3731 Yeah I highly doubt that...unless you mostly train with white belts
@@DOOMLORDHOKAGE I love people who underestimate opponents.
i do judo and bjj and pretty much only white belts tie it like that
Thanks for this I've just started karate and this is the video my sensei has sent us. It really has helped.
In bbj we know as ´´Hollywood Style``, very effective and So good for never opening.
Awesome video❤❤❤
always thought that one as a tournament knot (want it to come loose) and the other as a kata knot (don't want it to come loose)...
Curious, our style is from Japan, our Soke in Japan ties it the way you showed first. Why? Because the belt has to be loose so you can take it off with one hand and restrain people with it (or use the belt for injury care).
Koryu style if it matters.
I like "croissant 🥐" style knot!
I'm a 2 stripe purple belt in BJJ, been doing it for 8.5 years and I tie my belt like this. I don't put the "bar" side through the middle though because it rolls up the tape. I always think the black belts look at me like it's my first day because they do it the first way (😂), I've tried the 1st way a couple times and just can't get it. 😂
Cool! In TKD I tied my belt almost exactly like Eugene except without tucking the ends (I didn't know anyone else doing it this way either). In judo I was told to tie it like you do, sarting middle in front, cross in the back. Now in Wadoaki, I have to tie it like Eugene's again, but starting from the right side, wrapping to the left -- can you see if you Eugene can try tying his the opposite direction? It's weird!
Curious if there is a required way to tie the belt for international competition?
I learned the cross cross way and just tucked the belt into one line
And the knot isn't getting loose anymore. This is the main reason why i do it like that.
Since I started jujutsu and now also judo I've always tied my belt the second way because it only takes a few seconds more, but it's more comfortable and my belt has never come loose during practice. So many people I train with tie it the lazy way to save three seconds at the start of the class, but then they have to re-tie their belt when it falls off several times before the end, so how much time did they really save?
This is how my first teacher taught me to tie my belt. He first studied Hapkido while living in Korea. He later trained in Goju-Shorin in North Carolina. I'm not sure where he learned it at though since we lost contact after he moved many years ago.
Addendum: Meaning the Japanese way to tie.
Coll belt tying video, I'm still a fan of the 'Superlock' tie.. Oh no, where did your Ukes hair go?
How to tie it like Shintaro and still get a straight line in back is the last option in this video 🤙

Super lock method
I don’t tie it the Japanese way for the sole reason that having the cross overlap at the small of the back helps keep my Gi on.
Other than aesthetics and a belt that unties less when using the 2nd method shown, are there compared advantages/disadvantages of using one style of knot over the other? In example : since it locks the belt more securely, does method 2 offer a significant advantage to your opponent when they pull on the belt vs if the belt was tied using method 1? Would forces applied on the belt be felt differently on the spine using method 1, since the surface over which it crosses the back is larger? If so, would that make it easier to resist kuzushi if the opponent grabs the belt? Looking forwards to your thoughts on the matter!
I wonder about the back thing too
I use the Japanese style it looks best and it doesn’t come undone so easily
Last time I was in karate i was a child. I forgot how to tie one.
How long did it took you to get the Paneled belt?
Yeah, that’s Judo style. That’s how I learned in Japan.
I tie mine the none Japanese way and it doesn’t cross at the back
The Japanese way is the best.
7 years of judo, still can't do it. To lazy to learn...
Shia LaBeouf is your cousin?
Japanese way was the only way I was ever taught
I find the Japanese version to be a competitive disadvantage. If my opponent grabs my belt, I want it to fall off. The more secure the knot, the better handle it creates.
This may be true for judo, in bjj you want to have your lapel "stapled" to your body, otherwise your sparring partner will use it to your disadvantage.
@@markusbarth1 the belt is not around your neck.
@@mmongiello722 watch Keenan Cornelius, squid guard, spider guard, etc.
@@markusbarth1 unless the belt falls off and they pick it up off the ground and choke them with it, I dont see how it can be relavent. And you know we are talking about standup not butt scooting.
Only way I tie my belt.
NICE
cant see what hes doing. camera too far away and the black belt provides no contrast. trying to follow along here. too much of a race. plus the view is backwards and adds confusion. im not tying other peoples belts, im looking down at mine to tie mine.
shame because this is the only instruction for this method. theres other ways which also eliminate the cross at the back but are not the same as this japanese way.
Haven't tied my (white) belt for a year...
Your Japanese version is different at the end with the knot. Is it the same process but different order to the second version at 1:25 in Kesting's video? ruclips.net/video/JZHIDu0cuCM/видео.html&ab_channel=StephanKesting Either way I think the more advanced version holds up much better in practice
This how I tied it when I started BJJ and they told me that was fancy. We're I learn that? I said judo when I was like 6😂
When it means Japanese does kazoku martial arts count
😊👍
Cool! I’m Japanese! Lol!
Ah yes, another thing the gracies stole and claimed to invent. The patented gracie "super lock" belt knot
0:26
VERY IMPORTANT
At no time, do you put your belt on the floor
The Superlock
I actually for bjj class i did it on accident every body like it lol
So there is nothing wrong with the easy way? I once met an instructor who was upset because a green belt student tied his belt like that.
i always thought the easy way was more traditional
One piece all the way around. Like a belt. with a square knot. Tucked or not.
Otherwise you haven't learned and are as a white belt
Time to be Japanese! I can't wait.

Ichi, ni, san, arigatou
Ayeeeee 1k like!
Way to fast wtf
hi i think its much better the way they tie their belts in japan, its "cleaner" and organized.
