Whether you're an adult karate beginner, or a loving dojo parent, here is our guide for how to tie a karate belt the easy way (and a fancy way – the fortune cookie knot!), as well as how to correctly tie on the suit jacket.
This is dedicated to all the dojo parents who try their best, even if they've never done karate – we see you, and we appreciate you!
We also cover belt etiquette, karate suit care and dojo etiquette around suits. Because your do-gi represents your character, make sure yours shines through!
