TL;DR: The BJJ coral belt is sacred in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. A world-famous master asked us to craft his new red and black belt BJJ. During the build, we confirmed with IBJJF that the official design uses black belt ends—not red as shown on a poster. That poster will be corrected. Do you know a 7th degree BJJ master? Celebrate him with the original, handcrafted Isami Red Black Belt from ChokeSports.
The Coral Belt Detail Most People Miss
We guided a renowned BJJ master through size, name embroidery, rank bar, and degrees. He noticed something odd: a popular IBJJF rank poster shows the BJJ red and black belt with red tips. We’ve always made them black. Which is right?
We went straight to IBJJF. They pointed to the original specs from the Federação de Jiu-Jitsu do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, founded by Grandmasters Carlos and Hélio Gracie. The official Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coral belt uses black panels at the ends. IBJJF acknowledged the poster inconsistency and will correct it. Score one for tradition.
Why It Matters
- The coral belt marks 31 years as a black belt under IBJJF standards.
- It’s the third-to-last rank on the Jiu-Jitsu journey.
- Details matter. Your belt should reflect the Gracie lineage specs.
That’s why renowned martial artists and instructors—including members of the Gracie family—choose our Isami Red Black Belt. You get true craftsmanship, correct design, and a belt worthy of your legacy.
