📅 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.
🤩 Trust in ChokeSports.com, Isami's official international partner since 2006, to deliver nothing but the best!

🧵 INTEGRATED EMBROIDERIES
Our custom made belts feature integrated embroideries. This is the most premium method of embroidery and also the most resistant. 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. The final product is unique and stunning!
RANK BAR AND DEGREES
Here at ChokeSports we can add rank bar and degrees to Side B of your belt. You get to choose what your rank bar will look like, or simply order the belt without any rank bar.According to IBJJF regulations, the BJJ Red Belt must have a 15cm/6in white rank bar with golden borders and red degrees.
🚿 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.
. Thick cotton core for sturdy feel
. Made of 100% cotton (Katsuragi Ayaji)
. Integrated embroidery (English or Japanese)
. Width options: 1.65in (42mm) or 1.8in (45mm)
. 13 precise stitch lines
. Est. shrinkage: about 5% from humidity/sweat
. Handcrafted in Japan by master seamstresses

I absolutely recommend this belt. Awesome service as well.
The customer service was amazing. They contacted me to ensure I wanted the right size box for the belt. The belt quality is amazing and feels authentic.
Great quality built master red belt, Amazing embroidery, better then I expected. I Will order again in the future other belts. Thank you very much Choke Sports!
I have got an Isami white belt and 2 red ones. High quality.No complaints there. Just when you select the details of an order check the question mark after the field in which you select a detail. So you will not be confuse what you order. Other then that kudos for Choke sports.
Great quality. Third belt I have ordered through choke sports. Every time order process has been easy and the finished products have been awesome! I will definitely use choke sports for future orders.
Great quality! I changed the order after placing my original one. The staff replied to me quickly and professionally, the order was changed to exactly what I wanted. This is the second order I have placed from Choke Sports. Both have been exactly what I expected. Keep up the great work and customer service!
If you really want that special belt made exactly how you dreamed that special belt should be then look at my belt. This is a masterpiece and everyone that has seen it asked where it came from. Only one place can give you what you want .
The quality of the belt is underpassed. The embroidery and color outstanding. The service and shipping excellent, in fact I received my belt on schedule and was able to track it from the moment it was shipped.
