How do you tie your belt?

[HighRoller]

I've seen many different variations of belt tying at my school. Personally I tie my belt with the "super lock" method. It never comes off while rolling. Which method do you guys use to tie your belts with?

I don't have a name for mine, I just learned from my instructor (tradition when a kid hits orange belt or and adult hits blue). You start with one end and wrap twice, then tuck the right side under both layers and then go left over right. It's supposed to keep that wide spot where the double wrap comes together right by the knot so it looks like one layer. This is supposed to show experience.

I tie mine the same way ironliongreenbelt does....21 years and i haven't ever changed it.....i find the superknot method works...but just looks cocky....i also make all my students tie theirs the way i tie mine

How does the superknot look cocky? I'm very curious.

Ok that's what I thought. I start with the hollywood variation but I dont wrap over, so I guess it's just the standard variation but I move the fold over.

i always seem to screw up the hollywood or superknot style.... also i think my belt is too short to do it right

I'm gonna try the Hollywood style I like it. I hope my belt is long enough.
