The journey to a Black Belt is a marathon, not a sprint. The Yamasaki Coloured Martial Arts Belt with Black Stripe is designed to mark the crucial milestones between major grades. Whether for "Mon" grades in Judo or intermediate steps in Karate, these belts provide the visual recognition students need to stay motivated. Unlike standard belts that require messy electrical tape to signify a sub-rank, these belts feature a permanent, woven black stripe that looks professional and withstands years of tying and washing.
Built for the rigors of daily training, these belts are not merely decorative. They feature a unique multi-layer inner strapping core, giving them a traditional "stiff" finish that snaps when tightened. This structural integrity ensures the belt stays tied during grappling or kata, while the 100% cotton exterior prevents the colour bleeding often associated with cheaper synthetic blends.
| Feature | Yamasaki Striped Belt | Standard Belt + Tape |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Professional / Integrated | Messy / Peeling |
| Structure | Stiff (Inner Strapping) | Soft / Flexible |
| Longevity | High (Permanent Stripe) | Low (Tape falls off) |
| Dimensions | 4cm (International Std) | Varies |
These belts are designed with a "traditional stiff finish" thanks to the multi-layer core. This is a sign of quality, but it can make the knot bulky for smaller children initially. To help a young student keep their new belt tied securely, we recommend "cracking" the belt before the first wear. Hold the belt firmly at the knotting point and snap it back and forth a few times to soften the cotton fibres just enough to allow for a tight, secure square knot.
