Relly, though… Is the way you tie your belt really so important? Why can’t you just tie it into whichever knot you wish to, and get going with your training? Well, the type of a knot you make is kind of irrelevant (as long as it’s a sturdy one), but the way the belt is tied is much more important than you think it is.
You see, it’s the details that make all the difference in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. And tying your belt properly is the first detail you need to get right.
Have you ever noticed that BJJ beginners tend to wear their belts much higher than more experienced Jiu-Jitsu practitioners? Sometimes it’s even under the armpits!
Why is that? Is it just a fashion trend to wear a BJJ belt low around the hip bones like a experienced practitioner, or is there a practical reason for it?
