Thick Black Belt - Satin-Glossy - For Women - JGR
100% cotton, like most Judo belts in the KuSakura range, this Obi is rather thick and rigid, similar to thick belts from other brands.
Thick, rigid and with 16 lines of stitching, we mainly recommend this black belt to Judoka loving thick belts and big knots.
About the women's model: There is a white stripe in the centre. The Kodokan rules and the Japanese Judo federation impose a specific belt type for women for colored belts up to red belts of high grades. Outside Japan, the women's type belts are often not authorized and women wear men's belts. However, in certain Dojos and Jujutsu schools, they are still used.

Judo Belt Sizing Advice
The size table and recommendation are available by clicking on the "How to Choose your Judo belt" above the description, or on the dedicated page.
The waist size indicated is a standard recommendation. Please adjust the length to your liking, shorter or longer than the classic IJF standards.
The recommendation is made with a standard 'Judo' knot, not a double knot. If you do not do a simple knot, please consider a half-size longer to allow more room for the knot. Same advice for thick belts (which isn't the case of this IJF belt).
Please be careful with embroidery length as it might get caught in the knot. Allow 3 cm / letter in Japanese, which means a standard name sur as "Christopher" translated in Japanese as "クリストファー" would be about 20 cm long. We recommend avoiding long embroidery, or first familly name if you have long names.
