Check out these new Jiu-Jitsu Belts! - Kama Vlog 

I’ve worn several Kataaro belts thus far and I’ve been impressed with every last one of them. Comfortable, well made, perfect stitching, vibrant color, and US Made!

Timing on this video is clutch. I was just asking a bunch of people about these belts.. great video Ryan. Thank you!

2 of the things i got from my mom was a love for martial arts, and the ability to sew. I recently started making my own belts, its a pretty cool and rewarding experience. Im thinking when i have a student reach black belt i will custom make their belt for them. Whats more personal than that?

Kataaro belts are great. My black belt for Modern Arnis is one of their belts. They definitely make high quality goods.

Haha oh man that actual "black belt" is pretty cool

Thank you very much for your videos professor

Ordered a belt. Used your link. Thanks for the review and videos 👍

Ugh! Damn you Professor Ryan! My daughter got her 2nd white belt stripe today and after watching this video I ordered a Kataaro belt for her. $84... but I will be the man when she opens it on Christmas!

I just ordered my Kataaro belt with a red transition, i cant wait to get it, should be about 2 weeks before shipping

Congrats on your 2nd Degree, Ryan!!!! I know you aren't super focused on the ranking stuff but that is well deserved! It also looks like Dave got his 5th? Which is about time he got that hahahaha

the grappeling weave looks cool, i dont think i ever come across those style belts. I do love Fuji equipment. and Origin gear. but that grapple weave belt looks cool

Thanks for the great info Ryan!

WHATS IN THE BOX?!?!

Great video. I will check out the website. Thanks for sharing my Brother.

It’s “swipe up”, but when you have a black belt it’s “sweep up”. 🤣

Excellent belts reviews Professor Ryan Young! ISAMI is actually based out of Tokyo, Japan! With all due respect the ISAMI in Europe is not affiliated with the one in Japan, of which they often say so. In other words the original ISAMI manufacturer from Japan, has made it publicly known that they are separate entities if I can put nicely and leave it at that. ISAMI commenced mainly making belts for Judo as well as Kyokushin Karate, as Sosai Oyama Masutatsu, being both a 4th dan black belt in judo, as well as a Kyokushin Karate tenth dan black belt, was originally one of their most famous and renowned customers. Over the years ISAMI has expanded to manufacturing judo, Karate, jiu-jitsu, Taekwondo, etc uniforms and belts world wide. Your ISAMI black belt with the embroidery, does indeed say jiu-jitsu (柔道) in Japanese Kanji (letters). Just wondering what made you get an embroidered black belt from ISAMI, along with your name and so forth? I have noticed that most Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners are wearing plain black belts and so forth. Though some are now getting personalised black belts, along with their names and degrees embroidered, instead of the good old fashioned medical tape. By the way if you do not mind me asking, where did you obtain your black belt, that you can wear with your regular clothes? That looks awesome! Thank you for such an insightful video on the various belts. While our Kyokushin Karate organisation issues our official, embroidered personal belts from ISAMI in Japan, I actually want to order another belt of my own, from Kataro. Greetings from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 also wishing you, your students and family, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. God bless you all, Osu! 👍 ☺ ✌

Ryan im from the U.K im really trying to get to the U.S to your academy in the near future if all goes to plan.I am really big on the idea that if you learn this art then you need to start with the self defence because i found that if you start with sport jujitsu it takes you much much longer to understand it and apply it effectivly.Thats if you work that out at all, to me it sort of sends the wrong message out and i know for a fact most people who quit early would not if they started with self defence.Here in the uk its light years apart from the U.S in the way of schools and good teachers and it being taught correctly, im really struggling to find a good self defence teaching school were i live.I mean they are here but they are just not possible for me to get to them at the moment.My goal is to progress in the art the correct way(in my eyes S.D)and eventually teach other people and spread it that way all over the U.K.Do you know of any good practitionars in the north of England (Yorkshire) if so i would be greatfull for your in put as i have exausted my search and i just feel like im wasting valuble time practising sport and not practising at all.its so frustrating thus im commenting here i watch you all the time and i support your patreon channel.Many thanks.

Kataaros are awesome, my dad and I have used them in Karate for years. I have been leaning towards getting one for my next jiu jitsu belt, we'll see when that comes.

Do you have an Eosin Panther belt Professor! Would love a comparison video. Happy Holidays!

That shirt is awesome 😂🤝

Came across your vids. I enjoy hearing your perspective. I'll be ordering a Kataaro Black Belt. Before I do, I was wondering if you knew the width of the belts you showed in the vid, or have a suggestion on width. Thanks

I am sorry but martial arts is not the only idea in my life it's a part of my life not about my whole life I am a mechanic a technician that is also some skills I posses so I feel that is a part of my life I can share also

Nice belts

And a year later, a giveaway!! #kaataro

I’m still a white belt for almost a month I’m almost my first stripe

Hey Ryan, does the grappling weave also shrink?

Ryan, does the grappling weave fray?

Hi Ryan, does the grappling weave belt still have a white cotton core, or is it gi material throughout? Thanks for the videos

Weirdly i can't watch this video in blue light filter (night mode)...

"They just like to spend money on stuff" u know Prof. Ryan sometimes u just need an excuse to buy something lol

Seems like alot of good belts. which one is your favorite belt so far?

Question: is it wrong to have a signed jiujitsu belt from your favorite practitioner, but you simply have it in a display case as part of your memorabilia?

Stiff vs regular?

Great video! How much did you find that the Grappling Weave belt shrink? I'm thinking of picking one up but I'm worried that it will shrink too much and I would have wasted a considerable amount of money.

How long would you recommend a white belt waits until competing

How wide are these belts? Kataaro has options of 2 inches or wider. Is 2 inches too wide for regular wear?

Where I go is Rodrigo Freitas BJJ he has pictures of you

Question...If you are a 2 degree black belt with those stripes sewn on....Does Professor Dave just hand you a new belt with 3 stripes already sewn on? Or do you take your initial belt to a tailor or something to get a nice sewn stripe on your black belt? Or mail the belt back to Kataaro or whichever company and ask for them to sew it on? Sorry if my questions seem confusing and thanks.

Opinion on the Stiff vs Soft core options?

The only thing you lose when you wash it is the color, the knowledge is in the head right?... you can wash a bit of knowledge if you stop doing BJJ.

How much did your Kataaro belts shrink after washing?

Which belt type do you recommend from them the most?

How often do you wash your belt?

why will you never have 8 bars ?

You mentioned the notion of not washing one's belt, according to some superstition. Unfortunately that exists in various martial arts styles. Some people say that once you progress to another rank and you obtain a new belt, that they should tie a permanent knot, to retire that belt once and for all. Good God, not to offend anyone however it is funny how the creators of the style, did not create such superstitious and weird, ritualistic practices. To me as you said in some of your other videos, hygiene is very important, when training with one's fellow students. Of which it is important that one washes their gis, belts and other training attire or equipment, as regularly as possible. I use two gis for my training which is Monday to Thursday, then on Saturday and Sunday, I use another third gi, when I train with my own students. I wash all three gis once a week, nevertheless I have trained with some individuals, that only use one gi and good God it seems like they only wash them once a year. The foul odour that emanates from such smelly gis, is putrid! I tell my students to wear clean, washed, tidy gis, along with finger and toe nails, kept short, also to shower and deodorise themselves adequately. No one should be subjected to someone's, offensive and awful hygiene. As for the belts I admit as our style is predominantly a stand up, striking art. I often tell my students to hang their belts on the clothesline, after each training session, or at least once a week, when there is no training, so that fresh air ventilates them.

LOL...NO U CANNOT WARE YOUR BB IN PUBLIC...BEE HUMBLE...OR NOT...hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "P
