In sports, everything plays a big role, even equipment is important for an athlete. One of the main elements of the uniform in wrestling is the kimono and belt. It is necessary not only to choose a uniform in accordance with the size, quality of material and color scheme, but also to put it on correctly.
In any combat sport, the athlete's clothing cannot be underestimated. Not only the observance of traditions, but also the outcome of the fight largely depends on the correctness of its choice and wearing.
Does the color depend on the way the belt is tied?
There are different types of belts in wrestling. Their main difference is the color design. It is by this indicator that athletes can find out the level of skill and skills that the athlete possesses. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an experienced fighter in this form of martial arts, Everyone should be able to tie a belt correctly.
Contrary to popular belief, the rules for tying belts of different colors are the same.
However, in taekwondo, unlike other schools, there is a rule: in which athletes make only one revolution around the body. According to tradition and philosophical thoughts, it is believed that a belt tied in one turn symbolizes:
- a person belongs to only one type of martial arts;
- accepting teaching from one master;
- lightning-fast victory in a duel with one technique.
Of course, many experienced taekwondo fighters use two turns when tying, but a simple method is perfect for beginners. It will hold the suit in place and create a supportive frame for the body.
A lot depends on the master who teaches you. If you have any questions, consult him for advice on how to wear the equipment correctly.
How to tie a taekwondo belt correctly?
Despite the fact that the process itself is quite simple, many people make mistakes (we'll talk about them a little later). Beginners who have recently come to this sport especially often face difficulties. In order to understand and wear the uniform correctly, it is worth reading the relevant literature. If you wish, you can delve into the philosophical principles and sources of the origin of this tradition.
For convenience, we suggest using step-by-step instructions for correctly tying a belt in taekwondo:
- Place the belt behind your back, bring the loose ends forward and make them the same length.
- After this, cross over in front.
- Place the end that is on top under the opposite part through the bottom and pull out the ends. This will create the first node.
- Take both edges and cross again.
- Place the end on top into the resulting loop from the bottom up. First, carefully pull out the ends, and then with a sharp movement, secure the resulting knot.
Periodically straighten your kimono and straighten out any wrinkles. Now you can tie the belt yourself, and this is the key to success and victory in a duel with an opponent.
Complete all steps gradually, do not rush. Try adjusting the degree of tension and the length of the free edge. Over time, the process will not cause you any difficulties; all actions will be performed automatically.
4 common mistakes to avoid
Often, due to lack of experience, many athletes make mistakes.
- Wrong size choice. The length should be selected according to your height and waist circumference.
- When tightening, there are long or too short loose ends. The belt size needs to be adjusted.
- Weak or, on the contrary, too strong tension. The belt should not hang loosely on the body, but it should not cause discomfort when the fighter moves.
- Bends when wrapped twice around the waist. If you use two turns, it is necessary to correctly guide the strips one under the other without kinks. Both edges should create one stripe.
