Classic colored Judo belt keeps the jacket perfectly in place and stabilizes the hips while practicing.
This belt is available in the colors: brown, green, purple, yellow, blue, orange, navy, black.
About the women's model (with a white stripe in the middle): The Kodokan rules and the Japanese Judo federation impose a specific model for women for colored belts up to red belts of high grades. Outside Japan, the women's type belts are often not authorized and women wear men's belts. However, in certain Dojos and Jujutsu schools, they are still used. Judo women's belts are 5 cm shorter than men's belts.
Optionally with this belt we offer a storage or gift box from either silver cardboard or a wood called Kiri. The Kiri is a traditional light-weight wood, often used in ancient times for the conservation of precious objects because of its characteristics to absorb humidity and resist fire.
The size table and recommendation is available by clicking on the "How to Choose your Judo belt" above the description, or on the dedicated page.
The waist size indicated is a standard recommendation. Please adjust the length to your liking, shorter or longer than the classic IJF standards.
The recommendation is made with a standard 'Judo' knot, not a double knot. If you do not do a simple knot, please consider a half-size longer to allow more room for the knot. Same advice for thick belts (which isn't the case of this IJF belt).
Please be careful with embroidery length as it might get caught in the knot. Allow 3 cm / letter in Japanese, which means a standard name sur as "Christopher" translated in Japanese as "クリストファー" would be about 20 cm long. We recommend avoiding long embroidery, or first familly name if you have long names.
