Great video! If wear that style obi with the intricate patern showing it means you are married. If you wear it with the single line it means you are single. That is what i was told nearly 40 years ago by my great grandfather.
The latter. You buy them yourself. Although some branches of martial arts designate a certain type/color. Thanks for watching! I hope you check out some more of my content!

thank you very much for this video. I started Iaido recently, and this video is the only one I found on you tube, that really shows how to tie your Obi as my Sensee taught me at the Dojo. ありがとございます
@PsychoAMVproduction that is fantastic! I'm so glad it has helped you and so many others. Quite surprised actually lol. It was just a quick decision to record before I started training one day. I hope you check out more of my content and subscribe! 🙏
Wow bro ! Thank you for this . I watched a video the other morning about carrying your sword in it and tying it to the obi but this is some solid usable information . BTW , could you tell me an acceptable modern way to carry your swords ? Like tied to a loose military gun belt or something . A video tutorial would be much appreciated . Yeah , that might be a request lol .
Your welcome Donald Balck! As far as carrying a sword in a modern application like say to a loose military gun belt as you mentioned. I'm not sure. Your guess is as good as mine on that one buddy. The crkt Hisshou would work better because it has a kydex sheath that is compatible with the military's web gear. Ther would be a myriad of ways to attach it to yor pack, belt, tactical vest, etc. A traditional sword would be a bit more difficult. But could be done I suppose
You could try a frog. There is one at the very beginning of this video th-cam.com/video/2g5vm-4MDqw/w-d-xo.html To buy one: www.ebay.com/itm/143729894029 Honestly just a loose normal belt will work.
Nice. I still gotta watch a tutorial video from time to time.... Although I find the kaku loosens up fairly quick, so I usually use my iai obi or lazy obi (old cloth belt). Damn. You got that on faster than I could type this comment....
Thanks for the feed back! It holds its tightness. The Hakama helps also. Thanks for watching and I hope you check out more of my content and subscribe if you're not already! 🙏
I did it but, well, is it bad if the end result or the last "tie" ends up on the inner side? If someone understands what I mean, I don't know what I did wrong
Woww this looks super cool and very easy to do! Did it for the first time and it's perfect like yours! 😅. Though I need to ask, it there any meaning in the different type of ways when tying the obi? For example, method 1 is for the leaders or something. I saw most people having the traditional pattern ones, but it's very hard to do.
Thanks! I'm so happy this video has helped you and many others. I do believe there are different ways to wrap and tie and obi for its intended purpose. Like for ceremony, holding swords or just to help to keep one's shirt or outer jacket closed. As far as how to wrap and tie the obi for a senior or junior in the hierarchy of a clan and the like, I'm not sure. Would be interesting to find out though. I sure appreciate you watching my video and I hope you check out more of my content and subscribe if you're not already 👍🏻
Hello, I like your video without words. I am French and translations are sometimes difficult. I have a question: How big is your obi? Mine is about 12.14 feet and I can't get to the same end as you, too long or too short 😅
Hello! Thank you for the compliment. I can not recall the length of my obi. But 12.14ft. sounds about right though. I do know that if you don't get the correct length in the very beginning, you will either have too much excess or not enough.
I have to get the Tozando Obi (they were out of stock). I tried this with an elasticized Obi but I don't know what to do when the length after wrapping is still too long :(
@@Katana-Karl yeah I had watched a very interesting video about how the Katana is placed in the obi and then tied up the pants . The exact placement is amazing and interesting
@@hmuphilly9129 yes it does. The obi that I use is not elastic whatsoever. Does not stretch. This is probably why this method of trying the obi is not working for you.
That's a really clean knot. I'm trying this for my next practice session. Does it loosen up at all when moving the saya? I guess I'll find out. Good share
@ruangoto I was gonna suggest running it in slo mo. Haha! Then you could pause it where you needed a bit easier. I hope you check out more of my content! Would love to know what you think in the comments

Really? Thank you very much for the info!
Are obi awarded or do you simply by one with the uniform and keep it until it needs replacing?

Outstanding Keith! I'm glad I could help!
Thanks for the tutorial Karl. I'd only seen it done a different way but I prefer how neat this is in comparison.
@Jaedeok82 thanks!
Favourite version I’ve caught…I like the Obi, to be flat.
@ARTCHILD thank you very much!
Just got my first Obi belt for Christmas. Thank you for the tutorial!

Very interesting 😊👍 nice obi 😉
Have you seen the Japanese movie called "kuro obi" ?
I dont think so. I will check it out
@@Katana-Karl i really like the movie, it is a about karate 😉
That’s pretty cool so does that mean you know how to tie a tie correctly.😁👍🏼👍🏼
Thanx Sig Man! Hahaha but no, the wife ties my tie for me! 😂
Silent how to tutorials, brilliant! I slowed the speed and I was totally able to follow along and got it first time. Thanks so much!

@@Katana-Karl Cool.
Wow. I knew ot all along!!!!😊
@@erichusaynhahahahaha
Thank you
Your welcome!
Looks nice but what about the tension?
Tension stays.
Simple and straightforward, no chit chat but immediately straight to the point
Awesome demo!!👍🙏⛩🐲⛩
Thank you very much!
I’ll have to try this. I wonder how well it holds the tightness after many sayabikis...
Thanks for the feed back! It holds its tightness. The Hakama helps also. Thanks for watching and I hope you check out more of my content and subscribe if you're not already! 🙏
Is that very thick or a single layer hemmed around the edges
Its 2 layers. Its basically like an empty fire hose. A flat tube so to speak.
I did it but, well, is it bad if the end result or the last "tie" ends up on the inner side? If someone understands what I mean, I don't know what I did wrong

hahaha i just realised i learn to tie the obi directly from you 😂
Nice! I'm happy I could be of some help to you!
@@Katana-Karl I'm definitely gonna credit you for this 😆. I've been wearing it exactly the way you showed. Can't be borthered with those complex knots
@@namazuryusshugyo5214 thank you! Looking forward to the shout out! 😁🙏
Had to watch this one again thanks for sharing 👍 🙏 😊
Lol welcome thanks for watching
Awesome brother, thanks for sharing 😎❤️🤺🗡🔥
Thanks for watching
that was very interesting, thanks
Welcome
What do you call this type of knot?
I call that the I seent it on TH-cam knot.
This knot is called, Obi one knotty...
The most suspenseful scene i have seen in a while.
😆
Useful
Thanks

Hahaha! Well cool! Hope it helps!
I have to get the Tozando Obi (they were out of stock). I tried this with an elasticized Obi but I don't know what to do when the length after wrapping is still too long :(
Yeah you have to get it just right so you don't have any extra at the end. Thanks for watching!
Now can you slow it down a tad😂
Hahaha!
@@Katana-Karl Great video!
@@peterjanjanin9883 thanks Peter!
@@Katana-Karl is your Obi from Tozando?
@@peterjanjanin9883 negative. Amazon If I remember correctly
Very helpful, thank you.
Your very welcome. I'm glad it helped! I hope you check out more of my content and subscribe! 🙏
Never seen one of those Obi belt , more use to the sash and karate style belt , very cool obi and I know rank don't come easy with Katanas Ous !
The obi has been use for thousands of years. It holds the katana very well.
@@Katana-Karl yeah I had watched a very interesting video about how the Katana is placed in the obi and then tied up the pants . The exact placement is amazing and interesting
@@donaldblackamericanhighlan2079 so true Donald. Do you have a link to the vid your talking about?
@@Katana-Karl give me just a few minutes and I'll have it for you
It's useful! Thank you!
Your welcome brother!
So clean. I’ll have to try it.
I can't get this right no matter what I do! 😢
Interesting. I reckon it is a tad confusing. Looking at it from one angle and putting it on from a different angle
Keep tryn. You'll get it. Never give up...at anything...ever
I find this method more simpler and easy to do. I like it!
@@tatumergo3931 outstanding! Thanks!
@@Katana-Karl . Arigato Gozaimasu!
A very easy knot. Thank god. The more traditional knots are a bit difficult for my obi as it's a thicker material
Outstanding! I'm so happy this simple video has helped you and so many others!
I never realized just how many times it wrapped around!
Lol yup 3 times
Thanks really much for this video 👍👍👍👍👍
Welcome!
Hi, if you do know, is tying the obi the same for all martial art types?
No it is not the same. There are several different ways to tie the obi.
@@Katana-Karl Okay, thank you!
@@-glitchny-3978 your welcome! 😁
Ok
Nicely done! Thank you.
Welcome!
what is the purpose of an obi?
It holds a katana in place
@@Katana-Karl is it also good for the back?
@@bricegiraud7623 oh yeah, it helps with posture for sure. Makes total sense. Thanks for watchn and commenting!
Can you provide written instructions in your video details? Would really appreciate it Sir.
Written details? I could try I suppose. Might be a little while before I can do this
@@Katana-Karl I think I kinda got it but it was very sloppy compared xD Lol yours is so neat you might as well be actual japanese
@@hmuphilly9129 hahaha! The first few times of doing it this way was kinda loose. Keep trying and after 5 or 6 times it will become snug and secure.
@@Katana-Karl does it depend with the users obi? mine seems cheap and its very very elasticly
@@hmuphilly9129 yes it does. The obi that I use is not elastic whatsoever. Does not stretch. This is probably why this method of trying the obi is not working for you.
good video
Thank you
That's a really clean knot. I'm trying this for my next practice session. Does it loosen up at all when moving the saya? I guess I'll find out.
Good share
It does not loosen to any significant amount. The ties of the hakama help with keeping the obi tight and in place.
Wondering the same thing lol. How does it hold up for you?
@@adohko As Karl said the Hakama holds it in place fairly well, but I find myself preferring a stouter knot as I move the saya a lot.
Can anyone please tell me the length of the obi?
@@ChrisW777 it should be long enough to wrap your waist 4x, though you fold both ends in different ways and have some play in the length available
Great video
The best one to date
But it could be a bit slower on the final part
It’s hard to pause the video several times to rewatch it
@ruangoto Thanks for the compliment! Do you think I should do another vid colser up and slower?
@@Katana-Karl that would be excellent! I could accomplish it but i had to rewind it like 20 times 😅
@@Katana-Karl I just read some comment about the video speed
Now I feel awkward cause I was trying to see it on a TV
I simply forgot that option 😅
@ruangoto I was gonna suggest running it in slo mo. Haha! Then you could pause it where you needed a bit easier. I hope you check out more of my content! Would love to know what you think in the comments
