Celebrating Junior Milestones with Professional Quality
For the youngest martial artists, earning a belt is a monumental achievement that fuels their motivation to return to the mat. The Yamasaki White Belt with Coloured Stripe is specifically designed for "Mon" grades or junior grading systems, allowing instructors to reward progress between full rank promotions. Unlike cheap, costume-quality belts often given to children, these belts are constructed with the same rigorous standards as adult ranks.
Featuring a permanent central coloured stripe running the length of the belt, this design eliminates the need for messy electrical tape that peels off after a few classes. Built with a multi-layer inner strapping core, the belt offers a traditional stiff finish that looks crisp and professional on the uniform, helping young students take pride in their appearance and their new rank.
Why Choose Yamasaki Striped Belts?
-
Permanent Grade Identification: The woven longitudinal stripe provides a clear, permanent indicator of rank that withstands washing and training, far superior to temporary tape strips.
-
Structured Inner Core: Manufactured with a multi-layer strapping core, this belt mimics the stiffness of a black belt, preventing it from hanging limp like a shoelace and helping it maintain a proper arch.
-
100% Colour-Fast Cotton: The high-quality cotton construction ensures that the coloured stripe will not bleed into the white section of the belt or onto the student's Dobok or Gi, even during sweat-heavy sessions.
-
Industrial Durability: Reinforced with heavy-duty machine stitching, these belts are designed to survive the rough-and-tumble nature of kids' martial arts classes without fraying.

Sambo Store Pro-Tip
Parents often struggle with stiff new belts coming untied on small waists. Because the Yamasaki belt uses a high-quality multi-layer core, it will be quite rigid out of the pack. To ensure it stays secure during class, we recommend washing the belt once in cold water and air drying it before the first use. This relaxes the cotton fibres just enough to allow the knot to "bite" and hold tight, without sacrificing the belt's professional appearance.
