At [**Gracie Barra Agoura**](https://gbagoura.com/gracie-barra-agoura/), wearing the uniform with pride and precision is part of the “Red Shield” discipline. Here is a step-by-step guide to the standard Gracie Barra knot (the “Standard Knot” or “Hollywood Knot”). Step 1: Find the Center 1. Hold the belt by its ends and let it hang. 2. Find the midpoint (center) of the belt. Step 2: Place & Wrap 1. Place the center of the belt just below your belly button. 2. Wrap both ends around your waist to the back. 3. Cross the ends in the back and bring them back to the front. You should now have two ends of equal length hanging in front of you. Step 3: The Cross & Tuck 1. Take the Left End and cross it over the Right End. 2. Take that same end (now on the right) and tuck it under both layers of the belt (against your gi pants) and pull it up. 3. Tighten the belt by pulling both ends horizontally. Step 4: The Locking Knot 1. You now have a top end and a bottom end. 2. Take the Bottom End and flip it over to the side. 3. Take the Top End and go over the bottom end, then loop it through the hole you just created. 4. Pull tight horizontally. The knot should be shaped like a fortune cookie, pointing left and right (not up and down). Why It Matters Respect: A neatly tied belt shows respect for the art, your instructor, and your training partners. Safety: A loose belt falls off constantly during drilling, interrupting the flow of class. Tradition: The black bar on the belt should always end up on your left side.
