Need to know how to tie a Karate Belt?  Here is a step-by-step diagram for tying a martial arts belt, while avoiding the cross-over on the backside of the belt. The technique is the same for karate, judo, taekwondo or any other martial arts belt.

	Start by holding the  logo end of the belt a couple of inches longer than the length you want the belt to be when it is tied.  Wrap the other end of the belt around your waist.
	Continue around your waist a second time, while maintaining the position of the  logo end of the belt.
	Tuck the end of the belt under both layers and up.  Pull both ends straight up and down to tighten the knot.
	Fold the belt down.
	Tuck the  logo end of the belt under the other end.
	Loop the  logo end of the belt around the other end and through the knot.
	Pull to tighten the knot.  If done properly, both ends will be the same length.
