Begin by finding the center of the belt by folding the belt in half.

The Rank Stripe, or high stripe shown pictured first should
start on the student’s left side. Decided rank Tiny Tigers
will have an animal patch, instead of a rank stripe.

Knowledge stripes (shown to the right), or the stripes
placed closer to the edge of the belt should begin on the
student’s right side under their ATA Patch on the uniform
jacket.

Holding the center of the belt on the student’s stomach,
wrap the right side (knowledge stripe side) around the
waist first, then place the left side (rank stripe side) on top
and wrap it around waist.

Take the rank stripe side (which should be wrapped on
top) and tuck it underneath the knowledge stripe side and
the center of the belt to hold all pieces of the belt firmly
together.

Cross both sides of the belt to make an “X” shape. Take
the bottom side (knowledge stripe side) and bring it up
and then down through the opening in your “X”. Pull firmly
and twist the belt ends downward to finish the knot.
