IKKEN Professional Grade Premium Karate Black Belt
Description
Made from 100% premium grade thick cotton or 100% premium soft silk.
We believe a martial arts belt is a symbol of hard-work, dedication and effort.
A black belt especially signifies an important milestone for many martial artists. It represents consistency/perseverance to the dō and a solid grounding in a martial art.
For many a black belt can take years, a decade or more of dedication to an art, a philosophy, a way of life and betterment of the self.
This is why our black belts are designed to provide unrivaled quality, comfort and durability for all those years of training to come.
Our black belts come in two different types; a standard version and an embroidered version for those that want to customize their belts.
All our martial arts belts come with the IKKEN SPORTS logo representing the old samurai adage of Ikken Hissatu to give your all in every technique you execute.
Make your art a lifestyle!
Washing & Care
If you would like to soften our belts we recommend thoroughly twisting and smacking the belt (to loosen up the fibres) before soaking it in warm water with a fabric softener. We will add though that good quality belts are meant to be rigid as they are made from thick cotton and are designed to soften with use.
A sign of a good quality martial arts belt is stiffness/thickness. A poor quality belt will be flexible, thin and malleable.
For washing: always quick wash at under 40 Celsius or for best results soak in antibacterial detergent. Leave belt to dry naturally.
Avoid washing belts with any whites including your Karate uniform!
To insure robustness avoid ironing belt.
Please be advised that any customizations or embroidery to products have to be made to order and will take approximately 2 to 8 weeks to manufacture. All customized uniforms, belts, equipment or gear will always be manufactured fresh at our partner factory.
Wash at 30 celsius or 40 celsius for minimal shrinkage.
Do not bleach.
Dry uniform naturally.
Always wash uniforms separately and avoid washing whites with colours.
To insure uniform longevity always iron inside out.
