📅 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 Yellow Belt: The First Real Step on the Journey
ChokeSports.com is the official international distributor of Isami belts, and this martial arts yellow belt marks real, early progress for the practitioners who wear it. Whether you're closing in on your BJJ yellow belt, your Karate yellow belt, or your Judo yellow 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 yellow 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 yellow belt is a youth rank, typically awarded to practitioners under 16 early in the kids and teens progression, before orange and green belts. In Karate, the yellow belt karate rank is open to practitioners of any age and marks the transition from beginner to intermediate training. In Judo, the yellow belt judo rank holds a recognized place in the kyu system as well, an early milestone in technical learning. 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 Yellow Belt? ChokeSports.com has outfitted serious martial artists with authentic Isami belts since 2006.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alain from Mexico "I wore my yellow belt the day after I received it and it fit perfectly and I seriously love it. Great quality, solid belt. I will continue purchasing my belts from Isami / ChokeSports."
🧵 CUSTOM EMBROIDERY
Personalize your new martial arts yellow 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 Yellow 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.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.0 / 5 from 2 reviews.
Disappointing quality for the price. I paid $70 for this belt with the stiff option. However, the quality was not that impressive. The outer layers seem loosely fitted over the core, and the fabric creases all over.Compared to a Tatami BJJ belt costing $16, the Tatamti belt is slightly thicker and clearly better stitched together.However, it is rare to find thick versions of kyu belts so I would still recommend over standard club belts.
Store owner replied:
Dear Martin,Hello from ChokeSports! Thank you for your honest feedback regarding the Isami Yellow Belt. We understand your concerns about the creases and stitching. Please know that these creases are likely more noticeable due to the belt being fully folded during shipping. Our belts are handmade to order by master seamstresses in Japan (not in sweatshops in India or Pakistan), and every belt goes through a thorough quality inspection before shipment to ensure it meets our high standards.We appreciate your observations and comparisons with other brands. While every brand has its own approach to materials and construction, our focus is on providing a unique product that offers both functionality and rarity, especially in thicker kyu belts.Thank you for recommending our belt despite your reservations. We value your feedback and are continually looking to improve our offerings. If you have any more concerns or need further assistance, we're here to help.Best regards,The ChokeSports Team
Fantastic Quality. I wore my belt the day after I received it and it fit perfectly and I seriously love it. Great quality, solid belt. I will continue purchasing my belts from Isami / Choke Sports.
