Kodiak Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 My instructor uses a regular belt and does electrical tape for the bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanSK Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 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!

DWx Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Black Eagle in the UK do custom blackbelts:http://www.black-eagle.co.uk/customembroideredblackbelts-p-1372.htmlNot 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:http://www.blitzsport.com/Tailormade/Embroidered-BeltsTheir customer servie is good though.Found these guys who look top quality but V. pricey, I was getting quotes + £150:http://www.ichibaninternational.com/belts/m2m/Hope you find something "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montana Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 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.Student since January 1975---4th Dan, retired due to non-martial arts related injuries.

JohnASE Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 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 tooUm...what's wrong with this whole picture? A 9th Dan doesn't know where to buy a belt???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.

sensei8 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 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!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. **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moriniuk Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 For those Kempo style belts it has to be Eosin Panther.It does seem a little odd that he's asked you for a new belt. https://www.bkkmuaythai.piczo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
