QuestionMy belt is too long, what should I do?Alicejj2020Community AnswerTry wrapping the belt twice or maybe three times before knotting in place. Ask your instructor if they have a shorter belt that is easier for you to tie.

QuestionMy belt keeps on untying but I keep pulling it tighter but it still keeps untying, any advice?KatCommunity AnswerMake sure that you're doing the knot correctly and that both sides are the same length. If they're not the same length, it won't work. Also, make sure that you try each method to see which one works for you. If possible, ask a friend to help you tie it. Maybe they can help you.
