📅 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 Light Blue Belt: A Vibrant Shade on the Rank Where the Real Work Starts
ChokeSports.com is the official international distributor of Isami belts, and the Light Blue is our vibrant turquoise-shade take on the traditional blue belt, marking the same point where training stops being about survival and starts being about building real skill. Whether you're closing in on your BJJ light blue belt, your Karate light blue belt, or your Judo light blue 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) or 1.8" (45 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 light blue 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 blue belt is where fundamentals turn into instinct, the first real test of whether the basics have actually sunk in, and the Light Blue carries that same rank in a brighter, more distinctive shade. In Karate, the blue belt karate rank marks steady, visible progress on the way toward brown and black. In Judo, the Judo blue belt reflects the same milestone, real time on the mat translating into real ability. This belt looks different on everyone who wears it, some are chasing gold, some are chasing consistency, and this vibrant shade is built for both. Ready to order your Isami Light Blue Belt? ChokeSports.com has outfitted serious martial artists with authentic Isami belts since 2006.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kristel from Singapore "The embroidery is well made! Both the embroidered name and stripe look good. The colour of the belt pops and everyone thinks it's cute."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ John from USA "This is a really nice belt and the prettiest BJJ blue I've seen! Great experience overall."
🧵 CUSTOM EMBROIDERY
Personalize your new martial arts light blue 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 or 45mm
Now you can choose how wide your Isami Light Blue Belt should be. The standard belt width is 42mm (1.65in) but we also make a wider variation that is 45mm (1.80in) wide. 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.

We appreciate your support from Singapore!Best regards,The ChokeSports Team
Light Blue Belt. The colour is beautiful, but the belt is significantly thinner than I expected - which does make it feel cheap in your hands. [It’s about 1/3 the thickness of my previous belts.] I’m not sure how it will hold up, but time will tell!
Store owner replied:
Hello Brendan,Thank you for sharing your feedback and closeup photos of your new Isami Light Blue Belt. We're glad to hear that you appreciate the beautiful color.We understand your concern about the belt's thickness. You selected our soft belt model, which is designed to be lightweight with a "broken-in" feel. We have multiple photos and videos on the product page to illustrate this. For a thicker, sturdier option, our stiff belt model might have been more suitable.Regarding durability, please rest assured that your belt was made to order in Japan and is guaranteed to last for many years, aging beautifully over time.Thank you for your purchase, and we hope you’ll consider us again in the future for your martial arts needs.Best regards,The ChokeSports Team

Very good stays on for jiu jitsu in tough scrambles
The belt is awesome as you would expect however the color is so bright almost electric that it is hard to wear without being made fun of. Great quality just don’t like the color.
This is a really nice belt and the best blue I’ve seen! There was a small problem with the shipping but it was handledvery well and quickly resolved. Great experience overall
