Official Kodokan Thick Black Belt - Satin-Shiny - JGK
Identical in terms of material and finish to the , the JGK Obi features the official Kodokan logo, the famous cherry blossom shaped Japanese flag. This logo is not a label (Orimono in Japanese) but a thick embroidery stitched onto the belt.
100% cotton, thick, rigid with 16 rows of top-stitching, we recommend this belt mainly to Judoka seeking a thick black belt, wanting a big knot and of course those who like the Kodokan logo from an aesthetic point of view.

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.
