The belt is tied using what is basically a reef knot, only formed from tape rather than cord. The essential point is to avoid twisting the strands, thus ensuring that they lie flat:

Begin with the centre of the belt at the small of the back	Pass the right side strand over the left side	Then under the left strand and out the top
Pass what is now the left strand over the right strand	Then under the right strand and out the top	Ensuring the strands lie flat and have not become twisted
Tighten the knot firmly	Making sure the ends are of equal length	And it should look like this!

Points to note:

• The two ends should be of equal length
• The belt should lie flat at the back and not be twisted
• The knot should be tight enough that it doesn't come undone during training
• The belt should be snug enough that it holds the dobok top on securely
• But not so snug that you can't breath
• Korean for belt is 'ti'
