📅 Custom belts are handmade to order rather than pulled from stock. The estimated timeline is listed in the Pre-Order box directly under the Add to Cart button. When capacity allows, a rush upgrade is available at checkout to shorten that window. This upgrade must be selected when placing the order and cannot be added afterward. This lead time ensures our craftsmen have sufficient time to create your personalized belt with the attention to detail it deserves. Thanks for your understanding.
📧 Pre-order now and you'll receive the following email updates:
a provisional shipping estimate a few days after placing the order.
the precise shipping estimate when the item has moved through various stages of production.
door-to-door tracking once the order has shipped.
✅ Because these belts are made to order and unique, they cannot be returned or exchanged. So please make sure to double check all the details before completing your order. Once we start working on the belt, no changes will be accepted. All sales are final.

Description
Isami Gray Belt: The First Rank on a Real Journey
ChokeSports.com is the official international distributor of Isami belts, and this martial arts gray belt marks the very first real step for the practitioners who wear it. Whether you're closing in on your BJJ gray belt, your Karate gray belt, or your Judo gray 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 a belt width of 1.7" (42 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 gray 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 gray belt is a youth rank, typically awarded to practitioners under 16 as the very first rank in the kids and teens progression, before yellow, orange, and green. In Karate, the gray belt karate rank is open to practitioners of any age and marks the earliest real progress on the way toward the advanced ranks. In Judo, the gray belt judo rank holds a recognized place in the kyu system as well, an early step earned through real time on the mat. This 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 Gray Belt? ChokeSports.com has outfitted serious martial artists with authentic Isami belts since 2006.
🧵 CUSTOM EMBROIDERY
Personalize your new martial arts gray 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
The Isami Gray Belt comes in a standard width of 42mm (1.65in), sized to fit true to the traditional rank belt.
🚿 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.
