Thanks for the response guys it was interesting to here the different methods. I actually tie my belt as Steve suggested so you don't get the cross on your back, but i tie a reef knot at the front, ie left over right (and under the belt) then right over left. Subsequently when you pulled the ends down to dangle, the knot points to the left. Apparently that has some significance because if you tie the reef knot the opposite direction (right over left, then left over right) the knot points to the right and my Sensei considers it incorrect.
My question only arose because a few weeks ago my Sensei grabbed a few 1st kyus before class to correct the tying of their knots. I feel perhaps it may have something to do with life and death similar to having the left lapel over the right, but i really don't know.
Thanks for the suggestions guys it was much appreciated
