📅 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 White Belt: Where Every Journey Actually Begins
ChokeSports.com is the official international distributor of Isami belts, and this martial arts white belt marks the real starting point for the practitioners who wear it. Whether you're starting your BJJ white belt, your Karate white belt, or your Judo white 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 white 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, Karate, and Judo alike, the white belt is the universal starting rank, the one every practitioner wears on day one, before any rank has been earned. It's the same milestone across every discipline: the beginning of real training, not yet the mark of progress but the belt everything else builds on. 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 White Belt? ChokeSports.com has outfitted serious martial artists with authentic Isami belts since 2006.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yusuf T. from Austria "My white belt has an awesome cotton quality. The stitchings/sewings, which are reinforced, are great and well made inside and around from the belt itself. Furthermore in my opinion handmade goods should stand out a little bit from the no love industrial created, sterile goods. Chokesports.com service and delivery is outstanding. Period."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thiago C. from Brazil "My 3 and 5 year old boys have just started practicing Jiujitsu and I wanted them to have belts with their names on. Ordering was simple and the belts were an instant hit at home. I feel like they are even more motivated to train and they love showing the belts around. Well done ChokeSports!"
🧵 CUSTOM EMBROIDERY
Personalize your new martial arts white 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 White 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.

Isami White Belt. I recently had a disappointing experience that I had high hopes for. I was in need of some specific customer service assistance and was hoping to purchase a product that would meet my needs. However, I was met with a lack of clarity on what exactly I was purchasing and the customer service I received was far from satisfactory.Firstly, the product I was interested in did not have clear information on requiring the rank bar. This lack of transparency left me purchasing something I couldn’t use in my training promotion. Waited so long just to find out it can’t be used. The customer rep mentioned I couldn’t return the product or have an exchange even though it was still a brand new belt. It was truly an honest mistake. Furthermore, when I reached out to customer service for assistance to escalate the situation, I was met with long wait times and unhelpful responses. It felt like my questions were not being taken seriously and I was left feeling unheard and unsupported.Overall, my experience with this company was extremely disappointing. Would buy my other products elsewhere.
Isami BJJ White Belt - Size A1. Amazing quality and perfect size. Excited to use this belt for my journey to Blue Belt. I have every intention to continue purchasing Isami for every colour belt on my way to a Black Belt in BJJ. Thanks for the great quality and quick service!

First custom belt (White). The design process was very easy and user friendly. They delivered it on time as promised. The tracking was very precise as it arrived from Tokyo without any hiccups. I will be back for my blue belt very soon!!!

Wrong custom embroidery. Not happy with the custom belt and unable to exchange or get a credit to fix. Disappointed in the customer service on this issue and how it has been handled.
Store owner replied:
Hello David. I'm sorry to hear about the problem with your white belt. I have double checked the order details and can confirm the embroidery was made to spec. The belt looks exactly like what you designed on the site. I understand that you wanted the word "Grosso" to be in all caps like your blue and purple belts, but that's not what you typed when you placed the order. And since you only noticed this mistake when you received the belt, it was obviously already too late for us to make any changes.Best regards from your friends at ChokeSports.
Father and Son matching belts.. Awesome embroidery. Couldn’t ask for nicer work.

The belt has been great! ive worn belts from a few different companies and the embroidery from Isami has been the tightest and most crisp. The customer service was also excellent as they worked with me to make the exact belt i wanted.I look forward to wearing belts from Isami for the rest of my career
I recently got this belt from Isami and it was great, the level of detail and overall strength you feel with it just makes you happy and wanting to train more! Thanks!
My 3 and 5 year old boys have just started practicing Jiujitsu and I wanted them to have belts with their names on. Ordering was simple and the belts were an instant hit at home. I feel like they are even more motivated to train and they love showing the belts around. Well done ChokeSports!
I ordered a jiu jitsu belt and a rash guard that was shipped from Japan to Thailand. The belt was fine but the rash guard was the not the size that I ordered. I emailed Choke Sports explaining my frustration since I had already had to invest time picking up my package from the post office and money (Thai government slapped a duty tax on it). In addition, sending the rash guard back would require more time and money on my part to get what I had originally ordered. Lisa from Choke Sports, quickly acknowledged my frustration and their mistake and set to make it right immediately. I was told to keep the wrong sized rash guard and the right one would be sent to me marked as a replacement (so no need for additional duty tax). Fantastic customer service!
Store owner replied:
Sawasdee Jack,Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!We're really glad to hear that you were happy with the Isami White Belt and especially appreciate your patience with the hiccup on the rash guard. Lisa and the team always strive to make things right, and we're glad we could sort it out quickly and fairly—especially with the extra challenges of international shipping and Thai customs.Thanks again for choosing ChokeSports, and we hope to serve you again soon!Best regards,The ChokeSports Team
Osu! My Orange Kyokushin belt has a awesome cotton quality. I think it is thicker and more broader than other standard quality belts, but i think not as much as the thick core belts, which i personally like. The stitchings/sewings, which are reinforced, are great and wellmade inside and around from the belt itself. The labels on the belt are obviously handsewn. The sideseam sewings around the labels (Made in Japan and Kyokushinkanku) were sometimes too much inside of the label. But for me this is not the end of the world, just a small thing that caught my eye. Furthermore in my opinion handmade goods should stand out a little bit from the no love industrial created, steril goods. All in all i recommend this for all kyokushinkai-practicioners. Chokesports.com service and delivery is outstanding. Period. Osu!
