Description
Isami Purple Belt: The Rank Where Refinement Begins
ChokeSports.com is the official international distributor of Isami belts, and this martial arts purple belt marks the point where raw skill starts turning into real technique. Whether you're closing in on your BJJ purple belt, your Karate purple belt, or your Judo purple belt, this is the belt that carries you there. Every belt is one-of-a-kind and made in Japan.
Three Firmness Models, Built for How You Actually Train
Choose your fit across three models, F-350, F-400, and F-700, from Slim & Soft to Thick & Stiff
Match your body type and grip with belt widths of 1.7" (42 mm), 1.8" (45 mm), or 2.0" (50 mm)
Add a rank bar in black or red to mark stripes or instructor status
No two practitioners train the same way, so Isami builds this belt in three models instead of one, Slim & Soft, Thin & Firm, and Thick & Stiff. This purple belt lineup is exclusive to ChokeSports.com, you won't find all three available anywhere else. If you like a belt that shows its history, Slim & Soft develops a visible patina as it wears in, a record of every session you put into it. Full details on each model, and what separates them, are below.
A Belt That Marks Where You Are in the Journey
Wear a rank that means something whether your path runs through BJJ, Karate, or Judo
Personalize every belt with embroidery, detailed further below
Get 10 standard sizes plus custom length for a fit that matches your frame
In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the BJJ purple belt marks the shift from student to advanced practitioner, the rank where technique starts to outweigh raw effort. In Karate, the purple belt karate rank reflects the same refinement, technique sharpened ahead of brown and black belt. In Judo, purple holds a recognized place in the kyu system as well, a rank earned through real time on the mat. This purple belt looks different on everyone who wears it, some are chasing gold, some are chasing consistency, and this belt is built for both. Ready to order your Isami Purple Belt? ChokeSports.com has outfitted serious martial artists with authentic Isami belts since 2006.
🧵 CUSTOM EMBROIDERY
Personalize your new martial arts purple 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
Isami belts now come in three firmness models, so you can match the belt to how you actually train. ➡️ F-350 is slim and soft, with a lightweight, "broken-in" feel from day one. We add the embroidery to the finished belt, so the stitching sits over the belt seams and the reverse side shows a visible trail. This is what we call "non-integrated embroidery." ➡️ F-400 is thin & firm, thinner than F-700 but with more structure than F-350. ➡️ F-700 is thick and stiff, built to hold its shape and take longer to break in than F-350 or F-400. Both F-400 and F-700 feature "integrated embroidery": we embroider the fabric first and then build the belt around it. There's no trail on the reverse side, and the belt stitch lines sit over the embroidery for a cleaner finish.
📏 BELT WIDTH: 42mm, 45mm or 50mm
Now you can choose how wide your Isami Purple Belt should be. The standard belt width is 42mm (1.65in) but we also make two wider variations that are 45mm (1.80in) and 50mm (2in). This is especially popular with bigger fighters/instructors who need a belt that will match their large frame.
🚿 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.
