You should be asking your instructor...

Or you could learn Muay Thai and just wear Thai Trunks so you don't have to worry about tying a belt...

The Chinese wear a sash it's really long. It's hard for me to say just how to tie it but it wraps around you twice or so and then tied with a little loop at your side.

Ah but what about the arm bands? Trying tying one of those one handed tight enough so it stays on while training.

To my understanding, the armbands are optional.

Depends where you train I guess, we have to wear ours, you get used to it after a while.

We fold our belt by starting at the front, crossing behind our back, back to the front, and a reef knot through the two.

But tying your hakama is difficult, if you do it too tight you feel feint but too loose and they fall down or apart.
