Embroidered Deluxe Jujitsu Black Belt

by Alan on September 20, 2024

After almost 12 years of training, I received the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt from my professor, Bruno "Tank" Mendes, one of the founders of Soulfighters and brother to "Tanquinho," another legend of Jiu-Jitsu. I immediately knew I wanted a custom belt and started looking at the Isami because it was what I'd heard of. But I live in the greatest country on this Earth and couldn't believe no American company was doing the same thing. That's how I found Kataaro. And let me tell you, I was so glad I did it! My custom belt process started with an email promptly answered by Racheal. I wanted to confirm they could do the design I had in mind. On August 26th, I finally pulled the trigger and placed my custom order for a 115" (between A2 and A3), 1.75" in width (11 rows), stiff Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt. The whole process was bliss. On September 9th, the Kataaro team sent the belt design for my approval. I paid extra for overnight shipping, and on September 13th, my belt was delivered by UPS. Less than 20 days for something fully customized and made from scratch. Quality takes time, and I'm okay with it. I can't say enough good things about Kataaro and the belt itself. You immediately notice the superb high quality, attention to detail, and outstanding craftsmanship. The belt's construction is beyond anything I've seen in my 12 years on the mats. It's the best belt I have ever owned, and I'm sure it will likely outlive me. I get a lot of compliments on my belt, and some of my teammates will order one soon. Thank you, Kataaro, for all the dedication and craftsmanship and for being part of this particular moment in my Jiu-Jitsu journey. I look forward to working with you as I earn my stripes.
