Go top sports authority and buy a little kit with the lacing and the tool to do it with.  There should be some instructions in there.

the belt usually needs to go around your waist twice and two pieces of equal length hang down 6 to 10 inches plus the knot.\n\nSo 2xwaist + 2x8 should give you a good lenght\n\nassuming a waist of 32 inches (mine) that is\n32+32+8+8=80 inches\n\ncheck out some picture of people wearing karate belts to see how they fit ie. how many times they wrap, and roughly how much hangs in front\n\nThis is based on a Jistu belt I assume that karate belts also wrap around twice

There are actual tie boxes that you can purchase to put the tie in or if you can't find one try looking for a thing narrow rectangular box that would fit the tie.  Fold the tie in half (I know some people will also fold it in thirds) so tha thte tie looks like it is being worn, put some tissue paper on top to hold it in place, put the lid on and then wrap it up.  Easy as that.

Take a rope ( that doesn't elongate/stretch easily), wind round both pulleys (just the way belt goes)and mark one end where it touches the other. Measure this and the size in inches is the size of the belt. As to whether 'A' or 'B' or 'C', it is based on cross-section. The smallest is 'A'. I hope I am understood.

From the link below:\n\n1. Hold one end of each shoelace in each hand.\n2. Cross them, making an X.\n3. Pass one end of the shoelace under the other.\n4. Pull tight.\n5. Fold one shoelace in half while holding laces taut.\n6. Wrap the other end around the folded end.\n7. Grasp it in the middle after pulling it around the folded end.\n8. Bend it into a flat loop and pull through, making a bow.\n9. Repeat with other shoe.

well, you tie a knot then fold each of the strings from each side in half then tie a knot with those folded pieces.

I worked mens retail for about 4 years, the tip of the tie should fall between your belly button and your belt.

Your dojo master will show you how to tie your karate belt. Different schools of karate use different belts and sometimes tie them differently, so go directly to your teacher. \nA girl beat you up in karate? Well, that's what karate is all about. Your response to that should be to study harder and train harder, so next time you meet her you will be the winner.

This is the closest I could find. A tuxedo vest and tie in camouflage.\nhttp://www.tuxedo-formalwear.com/Camouflage/Camouflage-Novelty-Vests/

you might try a figure 8 knot, or a stopper knot.\n\nhttp://www.chockstone.org/TechTips/Stopper.htm

you learn HOW to fall, and that's most important. Then, they don't hurt.  Aikido only has defensive moves, no offensive.  Not intended to be used to "start something".  But wonderful in the event that someone much larger than you would try to use bodily force to harm you, aikido is perfect!  I definately recommend it to any person trying to decide which of the martial arts is right for them!

It also depends on your height.  If you're taller than usual, like me, you might have to content yourself with half-Windsors or four-in-hand knots for most of your life, just because the extra fabric lost in tying a double will bring the tip of your tie more than a quarter of an inch above your belt buckle.  \n\nIf you CAN wear one, I'd use it when you have (as above) a thin silk tie, or for 'official' occasions - weddings, funerals, presentations to the board.  Job interviews and dates would likely perceive a double as being too stuffy.
