Product Description

These are heavyweight uniform belts intended to be used for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with a black sleeve on one end for rank stripes (the black belt has a red sleeve).

Made of 100% cotton, they have 9 rows of stitching, are approximately 1 3/4" wide, and are about 20% to 25% heavier than our "medium weight" belts.

All of that is pretty standard for most heavyweight belts.

However, after experimenting with different fabrics styles and weights, we developed these to be better than the others we've always used for our workouts.

They have a "heavier feel", but we tried to keep the outer layer soft enough that they would actually stay TIED during your workouts. That was the goal anyway - our medium weights still stay tied better, but we think these do pretty well for a heavy weight belt (a LOT better than the ones we've used in the past).

Sizes are shown in the "Brazilian" size (A1, A2, A3, etc.) not the "Western" equivalent (3, 4, 5, etc.). Please remember the Brazilian sizes and Western "single digit" sizes are not the same thing. We include both types of sizes on our uniform size charts if you need to check for a compatible equivalent.

This belt is durable with plenty of stitching to take to the mat and also as much abuse you can throw at it. I spend a lot of hours on the mat and by far these belts are the best, they take a beating without coming apart or fraying. There also easy on your pocket book. I will definitely order from these guys again.

This belt has worked out great, it does not come off during grappling and it is sturdy enough to take the abuse during the long hours of grappling. I would definetly reccomend this belt to anyone who practices Jiu-Jitsu.

4.0 out of 5 stars stays tied?, June 17, 2010

the belt itself is well constructed. I've had mine for about 2 months and I try not to wash it too often, but I roll about 6 hours a week and belts get dirty. I've noticed some of the stitching on the belt is coming undone after 4-5 washes (in 2 months), but nothing awful. As far as the belt staying tied better than others... I can't say. This is my first belt, but I have to retie about every 5-10 min. during techniques and after every sparring session.
