How to put on the pants:
Be sure that the loop on the pants is in the front.
Pull the drawstring tight and feed one end through the front loop. Tie a one-looped bow. (This will make it easy to untie later.)

Tie the right side of the gi first.
Always have the left side of the gi on the outside.
How To Properly Tie Your Belt

Hold the belt behind you so that the right side is shorter than the left.
The tag should be on the same side as the tag on your gi.

Wrap the right side around your waist so that both ends wind up almost even.
