⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Daniel from USA
"I have worn Isami belts at every rank in my Jiu Jitsu journey. As the belts are worn and become broken in, the true quality of the belt comes out. To me this is superior quality. It takes years of training for the belt to achieve this level. It’s something to aspire to and shows the dedication to the art and dedication of the Isami product."

🧵 CUSTOM EMBROIDERY

Personalize your new martial arts yellow belt with beautiful embroideries in English and in Japanese. There are six fonts to choose from and 10 different colors. We reserve about 8in 20cm of each belt end for embroideries. Long text will be resized to fit within that space.

BELT FIRMNESS & EMBROIDERY

➡️ STIFF BELTS are heavier and feel sturdy around your waist, taking longer to "break" than a soft belt. These belts feature "integrated embroidery": we embroider the fabric first and then we make the belt. There will be no trail on the reverse side, but the belt stitch lines will be over the embroidery.  
➡️ SOFT BELTS are lightweight and have a "broken-in" feel. We add custom embroideries to the finished belt. The embroidery will be over the belt stitch lines but the reverse side will show a trail. This is what we call "non-integrated embroidery".

What Isami belt size am I?

Step 1: Measure your waist

Use a measuring tape to measure your waist where you would typically wear your BJJ belt. Make sure the tape measure is snug but not tight.

Step 2: Use the waist measurement to determine your belt size

As a genereal rule, you want the length og your belt to be about 2x your waist measurement + 16-24in or 40-60cm. Once tied in a double knot, each end of the belt should hang 8-12in or 20-30cm in length.

Step 3: Select the size that corresponds to your waist measurement

Keep in mind that Isami belts may have slightly different size ranges compared to other brands, so be sure to double check the sizing chart before making your purchase.

🚿 BELT WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

In Japan it is uncommon to wash the obi martial arts belt. However many of our international customers like to wash their belts. We recommend hand washing (with hand soap) and hang drying in the shade.

Please note that regular washing will accelerate the belt's aging process and might cause it to shrink further than estimated. It will still be functional and last for many years though.

I recommend this product

Disappointing quality for the price

I paid $70 for this belt with the stiff option. However, the quality was not that impressive. The outer layers seem loosely fitted over the core, and the fabric creases all over. Compared to a Tatami BJJ belt costing $16, the Tatamti belt is slightly thicker and clearly better stitched together. However, it is rare to find thick versions of kyu belts so I would still recommend over standard club belts.

ChokeSports

Dear Martin, Hello from ChokeSports! Thank you for your honest feedback regarding the Isami Yellow Belt. We understand your concerns about the creases and stitching. Please know that these creases are likely more noticeable due to the belt being fully folded during shipping. Our belts are handmade to order by master seamstresses in Japan (not in sweatshops in India or Pakistan), and every belt goes through a thorough quality inspection before shipment to ensure it meets our high standards. We appreciate your observations and comparisons with other brands. While every brand has its own approach to materials and construction, our focus is on providing a unique product that offers both functionality and rarity, especially in thicker kyu belts. Thank you for recommending our belt despite your reservations. We value your feedback and are continually looking to improve our offerings. If you have any more concerns or need further assistance, we're here to help. Best regards, The ChokeSports Team
