I don't think there is such thing as a 'traditional Korean way to tie your belt' since belts in the way we use them aren't very Korean, are they? -- kind regards, Klaas Barends EUROPEAN HANKIDO SEMINARS 2008 http://www.hankido.eu/ --__--__-- Message: 2 To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net (The_Dojang) Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2008 08:05:42 -0800 (PST) From: rterry@idiom.com (Ray) Subject: [The_Dojang] side belt knot Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Did I miss the reason for moving the belt knot to the side? Sorry if I did, but was just curious. Is it the Kenpo group that also wear their knot on the left(?) side instead of the front?
