More than just a belt, the Isami Red and White Belt is a testament to a lifetime of dedication. Its superior quality, elegant aesthetics, and flawless craftsmanship make it the ultimate symbol of martial arts mastery.
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!
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 and White Belt must have a 15cm/6in white rank bar with silver borders and red degrees.

My First Red and White Belt. My sensei passed away a couple of years ago after training together for over 50 years. He left his rokudan red and white to be given to me when I made rokudan. That was last year. His belt has too many memories for me to wear it to train. The next best thing is my Chokesport red and white. Well made and arrived when promised!

Dear Chokesports Team, This master belt is a piece of art. Stitching and embroideries are one of a kind. Very good quality and excellent service throughout the whole sales process I will recommend Isami belts from ChokeSports to my training mates.
Great time ordering Brazilian jiu-jitsu belts. Thanks for your work. Laurie Soriano
I want to say that the Kōhaku Obi sent to me is the best that I have seen. Clearly a work of art in itself with an excellent off white shade along with the red colour of the belt looks outstanding. Topped of with the black Kanji, superb.
Great! You guys came through!
Excellent product, I recommend this belt for all karate masters!
I have been dealing with Choke sports for many years and they are excellent. They are professional very prompt in getting your belt completed and sent out. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Great Item as is always with Isami ,Professional service is always provided by Choke Sports
The belt is high quality and correct size. It has a nice appearance. I’m very happy with it.
I practiced meditation when I had a vision of the ChokeSports website. Then I found the website and ordered my new Obi. Most important for Warriors is to know his true mission in his life. My new Obi had a Spirit of Budo Path. My new Obi shows direction when I listen to my heart. And this is the Spirit of my new Obi - reminds that the heart of the Warrior must be pure as a crystal. Thansk ChokeSports Team! Thanks for Budo Path! Respect.
I had a great experieince ordering online. The leadtime was acceptable and the communication excellent. The belt is well made. I expect I will order again in the future.
