Martial Arts Belts
How to choose martial arts belts
Colour
choose from black, white, blue, purple, red, green, brown, yellow, orange, or blue/white to match your club's system.
Material
cotton and polyester for sparring, silk or satin for show, wood for storage only.
Fit
standard solid coloured belts versus Pro Deluxe ju jitsu belts in A3 or A4 for a measured length.
Custom
plain rank belt versus made-to-order instructor block with personalisation.
Sub-type
Boxing & Martial Arts listings hold wearable belts, while Sporting Goods includes the wooden display stands. Once you pick the type, the grid above shows which UK sellers stock it.
What's good
- Solid coloured belts in cotton or nylon/polyester give a hard-wearing daily training option across ten rank colours.
- Pro Deluxe ju jitsu belts in canvas/cotton come in set sizes like A3 and A4, so you get a fitted length rather than a generic cut.
- Satin and silk black belts offer a smoother finish for gradings or demonstrations than matte cotton.
- Made-to-order instructor dan block belts let you add a named plaque, a clear step up from plain solid belts.
- Wooden belt displays hold several ranked belts at once, useful for anyone building a collection.
Things to watch
- Satin and silk belts snag and show creases faster than polyester training belts, so they suit light use only.
- Made-to-order instructor belts are built to spec, which means they are not a pick-off-the-shelf item for urgent replacements.
- Canvas/cotton deluxe belts are thicker, giving a firm knot but added weight around the waist.
- Wooden displays are stationary items, wrong for anyone needing a belt to train in.
- Standard solid belts skip size grading, so very tall or short adults may need to fold excess length.
Care & maintenance
Everyday washes
Cotton and nylon/polyester belts wash well at low temperature, then line dry.
Delicate care
Silk or satin belts need a cool hand wash and no wringing to keep the sheen.
Deluxe belts
Canvas/cotton BJJ belts relax with wear, but avoid tumble heat to prevent shrink.
Displays
Wood displays only need a dry wipe, keeping them away from damp air.
