"Hello! My name is Sid Nelson, master instructor in Martial Arts. I'm representing expertvillage.com. Alright, the next part of the martial arts that we're going to show you today is how to tie your belt so when you get to class it'll stay on and you'll look nice and neat.

We'll go around with both left and right and meet in the back, cross them over in the back, and then come back to the front where you'll have two even sides.
