Tiger Claw 100% Cotton Martial Arts Uniform Ranking Belt – 10 Solid Colors (Black, Yellow, Purple, Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Brown, White & Yellow) in

Unlike most reviewers, I am writing this in hindsight, after using this belt for over a year now. I am 6'0" 178lbs Judoka, trained with this belt 2-4 times a week every week the past year + some tournaments. I had a size 3, which was perfect in length at 105" (and not as the seller writes).Writing this as I just saw some really negative reviews, so wanted to share my experience. My take on this is that most bad reviews are from Karatekas, which makes sense to me, as this is NOT a Karate belt - it is stiff and does not drape down.As others wrote, it feels like the interior is foam and the belt is a bit stiff and very light. However, after a few uses it breaks in, so the knot keeps tied reasonably well (although it produces a relatively small and flat knot) with the standard Judo knot (ends tucked between the two layers) and the ends keep some stiffness so they do not droop down like a karate belt, but stay like an upward pointing chevron. For me that's good and that's what I expect from a Judo belt. Hate the soft, droopy belts.Regarding durability - yes, some threads came out but the belt held up pretty well, Especially considering the action it got, including some gripping and dragging drills with the belt (think dragging a 200lbs guy holding the other side of the belt).Agree with other reviewers - the quality is not as good as Fuji or Mizuno, for example, which are both a bit wider, significantly thicker and stiffer and hold a larger, prettier knot.Overall, it provides good value for money. A green belt judoka doesn't need anything more that this one, so if the price is right for you, just get it.

I honestly bought this to use on non-martial arts related purpose. As others mentioned, its very stiff and its very light-weight. Its very "foamy/spongy" like feeling. I used to practice martial arts for many years (black belt 3rd "dan") and I know how the "original" supposed to be like. This is definitely not one of them. A terrible imitation. It's high priced for the quality. All you're really paying is for the foam inside it. Not worth your money.

Very disappointed with this belt. The good thing is that it seems to be stitched well but it feels very cheap and is extremely stiff. I was going to say that it felt like foam was inside it then I actually read another review that said they had to cut the belt to shorten it and there is foam on the inside. The belt is so stiff that when you tie it, part of it sticks up. Very bad quality.

I ordered this for a display for all my belts. I might actually switch to this one and put my actual belt in the display because I like this one a bit more than the one given to me by my studio. The size is consistent with other Tiger Claw belts.

I practice Karate and I recently got my red belt. I did not want to compete or practice with my custom belt on so I bought this as one that I would not care if it ripped or broke or got ruined. This fits the bill well. I have fought and trained with this belt and it is fantastic. My only complaint is that it is very stiff out of the box so you will need to train a little in order to loosen it up. So just don’t buy this and wear it to a match the next day.

This belt is cheap in the material. It is definitely not 100% cotton as advertised. The fabric is stitched to a layer of foam inside. The fabric is not 100% cotton for sure. I see that it is made in Vietnam. I used to buy similar cheap belt in Vietnam for a 1 dollor. DON'T BUY THIS!

This was absolute garbage. The belt has a foam core and is wrapped in cheap cloth. It is not made as normal belts are. The size is also significantly larger than listed.

To say I love it is wrong but it doesn't deserve any stars off. It's solid (though it came out of the package very rigid), but I bought it to have signed by my instructor so that rigidity was a good thing
