  1. Anyone tried to shorted a MA belt?
    How did you go about it?

    You can't just get a shorter one? Seems like cutting one down is just going to end in a frayed mess.

    Tie it so that one end is at the length you want. Then, cut down the longer end matches the first end. There you go.

    my purple belt used to be too long, and i thought about shortening it. got fat instead. problem went away!
     
  5. Agreed. Planning to order one. Looking for solution to tide me over till new one comes through.

    Current one so long it would whip me in face when being thrown.

    so... do an extra loop around your hips.

    Tuck the ends back over the belt and down again. I do this during the warm up as it stops the belt coming undone as easily and also reduces the length a bit.
    Doesn't look quite the same (if that's important to you).
