For people who study judo and any martial art style that trains with a gi and belt, here is a little tip that may be useful to add to your fighting arsenal. When grappling with an opponent, either on the floor or standing, to gain extra control of your opponent, use the belt to wrap around one or both of your opponents arms. This may sound strange, unheard of and maybe unfair but think about it. If you manage to wrap yours or your opponents belt around his/her arm or both arms (anywhere from the wrist to the elbow) you will immobilise that arm so it cant be used, and also, you will gain some control or leverage of your opponent. In judo or jiu jitsu competition this technique is sometimes used, but i believe it should be used more. When ground fighting, without full control of your arms, moving is very hard, which could result in you losing the match. It is not a good idea to look specifically to tie up an arm or to, but in the course of sparing or in competition, if the opportunity presents itself, it would be wise to take it, as it is a great set up for a following technique. I have found that it is best to use your opponents belt for this strategy, as you can gain more control and leverage. Experiment with it in practice to see if it works for you.

Saluti dall'Italia!
Ciao
Your joking right? I am trying to see when this could possibly be used..you have to KO the guy first right or perhaps give them a date rape type drug.
In all my time pracitsing new-waza and recently BJJ never have I known anyone be in the position where:
A, You can un-tie their belt and unravel it
B, They present both arms for you to wrap and tier the belt around.
The more i think about his the funnier it is, so you must be joking around.
Who said anything about un-tieing there belt? You simply use the ends of there belt to wrap around your opponents arm. In the same way, the bottom part of the Gi jacket is also used. This is probably more common.
Although it is not seen much in todays Judo/BJJ, a few years ago, before any one had heard of BJJ it was a very common technique in the Judo world. If you google it, im sure you will find many images/articles about it.
