Deluxe 5-Inch Red & White Panel Coral Belt
The Traditional Kohaku Obi
Honor your senior mastery and instructional authority with the Kataaro Deluxe 5-Inch Red & White Panel Coral Belt, traditionally known as the kohaku obi in Japanese and Okinawan martial arts. This iconic belt is traditionally worn by instructors who hold titles such as Renshi, Kyoshi, and Hanshi, representing decades of dedicated training, leadership, and technical excellence.
Expertly hand-crafted, each belt features bold, 5-inch alternating red and white panels constructed from durable 8 oz. poly/cotton twill fabric, creating a commanding and dignified appearance. Every panel is finished with precisely matched thread and carefully executed maze-pattern stitching, resulting in a clean and balanced presentation worthy of masters and grandmasters of the highest levels of martial arts.
Well suited for Karate, Kobudo, Jujutsu, and other classical disciplines, this premium kohaku obi honors both the heritage of your art and the responsibility carried by senior instructors, leaders, and mentors.
