marie curie Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 I've always bought crappy belts, but I want to buy a nice one- any suggestions? You suck-train harder.......................Don't block with your faceA good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. -Lao Tzu
dineshm Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Tokaido , Shureido, Hirota.All are great brands.Then comes the Cotton/Special Cotton/Satin/Silk debate.Silk--Looks nice, ages well.(by well I mean turns white faster).Satin-- Looks great, difficult to keep a knotI get my martial arts supplies from kuroobiya.comService unsurpassed, and the guy replies to any queries in good time.
IcemanSK Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I'd suggest EosinPanther.comThey rival Shuredo & Toakido (sp?) & are a bit less expensive. And, if it matters, they are made in the USA.I don't work them, but I've bought 2 of their belts & am very pleased with them. I used them on recommendations from folks on this site. It's worth looking into. Being a good fighter is One thing. Being a good person is Everything. Kevin "Superkick" McClinton
marie curie Posted December 4, 2007 Author Posted December 4, 2007 Cool, yeah satin and silk are probably not best because we grapple sometimes.Thanks! I'll check it out.

jazzmasta25 Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 There is a company called Kataaro that makes amazing belts. All made in the US they are very nice, and the only belts I would wear/recommend. http://www.dojodirect.comhttp://www.trickstutorials.com/index.php?page=content/flx3
NewEnglands_KyoSa Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 i suggest eosinpanther but only if you don't mind spending a few bucks. but i got my black belt from karatedepot.com years ago, and i still have it, its white in places but its in one piece. and i love it. it's perfect.

Ninjanoir78 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 it depends, if you want a very good belt, best quality, you can not find that here in North America.... Hirota, Tokaido or shureido with embroidery, this is the best brand, their embroidery are amazinggood website: https://www.kuroobiya.com Jimmy Rancourt
Holland Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 For black belts I go with Shureido. I also think they have the best colored belts as well, but they are pricey at about 20 bucks each.If you are an instructor I would recommend promoting people into Ronin belts. They are cheap (about 5 bucks each) but are very nice quality compared to most. Plus the colors are nice.
