Black Dan Belt

The Ichiban MAE Black Dan Belt
The Ichiban MAE graduation belts are designed according to Japanese principles and are therefore made of 100% cotton. The belt consists of a core of cotton surrounded by black cotton. The layers are stitched with eight lanes of ultra strong polyester thread. The Dan belt is heavier and stiffer than the Kyu belt and protrudes perfectly from the knot for a stylish look. The Black Dan Belt has a standard width of over 4 centimeters and is finished with stitched ends.

Material and color
The Black Dan Belt is made of three layers of high quality cotton in the color black.

Embroidery
The standard Black Dan Band has no embroidery. We have black belts with IKO (International Kyokushinkaikan Organization) embroidery in our assortiment. Please contact us for custom embroidery.

Dan bars
The Black Dan Belts come standard without Dan bars. We can design and deliver the belt to your specifications.

Need to know
Our martial arts belt is made of cotton. With frequent use, the belt gets a somewhat rough / sanded look. This is a typically feature of the professional cotton martial arts belt and distinctive from cheap synthetic belts.

Washing advice
We do not recommend washing the belt as it is made of 100% cotton and some shrinkage may occur (up to 8%). Use a lint roller to remove dirt and dust. Clear adhesive tape is ideal for stubborn stains. Regular airing keeps the budo belt fresh. In the unforeseen event that the belt must be washed, wash it on a gentle laundry program and at a low temperature. After washing, stretch the belt to it’s original length and let it dry in this way, for example by stretching it around a chair with pegs. Note: Do not tumble dry!

Designed by experts, proven in practice
Our founder Shihan Alain Breugelmans has been at the drawing board of our collection. All Ichiban MAE products are custom designed based on worldwide experience.
