AngelaG Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 let's just hope the belt is the only sub-quality item in the school, and not the material being taught I can only hope this is humour.

rb Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I buy belts for 5-6 dollars cdn which are jukado brand. I've worn one straight without dye running and I've also soaked my last few to help take out the stiffness. Even soaking overnight the water only took up a slight tinge. As for washing the belt, I do it every couple of months. As a mudansha, I end up changing belts after a few washings anyways. The only thing I have about washing belts is they shrink a bit. I can see arts where you rarely grapple or roll on the ground being cleaner, however never washing seems extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I have about washing belts is they shrink a bit. Aye, same thing happens to the gi itself, which is why you should purchase one that is one size larger than your comfort fit, then wash it once or twice... then hem if necessary.

Oh in case you're about to get offended, I invoke the power of... THE SMILEY FACE!!
