Dai Shihan wants a new Belt


Dobbersky

Recommended Posts

All,

My Dai Shihan has asked for a new belt, so I need your help?

We need a 360 - 380cm long 5cm wide Red belt with 9 DAN BARs (or a Large block and 4 BARS) on it, can't seem to find one in the UK to match the requirements. Possibly go for his name embroidered on it too

Can you recommend suppliers and approximate costs

thanks

Ken

EosinPanther.com They're in the US, but I'm sure they will ship to the UK. They can do anything you can think of & they are fantastic belts!

Black Eagle in the UK do custom blackbelts:

Not sure on the quality, but you could contact to see if they'd do it on a red belt.

Blitz is probably better quality but again, they don't offer red so you'd have to contact them:

Their customer servie is good though.

Found these guys who look top quality but V. pricey, I was getting quotes + £150:

Hope you find something

Um...what's wrong with this whole picture? A 9th Dan doesn't know where to buy a belt???

Sorry...just strikes me as odd. VERY odd.

How old is this guy and how long has he been in the arts? Just curious.

If you don't want to stand behind our troops, please..feel free to stand in front of them.

We just deal with Century usually, but when you want something specific like that, it could be hard to find.

This is tougher than it looks at first glance. For those who don't know and didn't do the math, 5 cm wide is 2" and 360 cm long is close to 142"! Very few companies carry 2" red belts, let alone ones that are 12' long.

IcemanSK is right. Eosin Panther has one on their website. The block and bars sound similar to what kenpo does. I'd guess that can take care of that for you.

Absolutely...Eosin Panther!!

Btw, is your Dai-Shihan asking for himself or are you/student body wanting to get him one as a gift? I'm sure every Kudan knows what belt he/she wants and where to get one by him/herself.
