The Kataaro Color Rank Belt with full-length black stripe is a powerful symbol of leadership, responsibility, and advanced standing within a color belt rank. This style is most commonly associated with senior student or assistant instructor designation, and is also widely used to represent advanced or transitional levels within a color belt before promotion to the next rank.
Rooted in traditional ranking systems used in Karate, Taekwondo, Hapkido, and other classical martial arts, this belt provides schools with a clear way to distinguish experienced practitioners while maintaining flexibility for academy-specific ranking structures for both youth and adult programs.
Crafted with Kataaro’s hallmark attention to detail, this belt is built around a durable 100% cotton core and finished with a resilient poly/cotton outer fabric designed to withstand years of daily training. Clean stitching, premium sewn ends, and consistent structure ensure a professional appearance on the mat.
Striking in appearance and rich in meaning, this belt serves as both a mark of achievement and a visible reminder of the responsibility that comes with leadership.

This is my 3rd Kataaro belt (rank belt, 1.75 inch, old rank belt - deluxe rank 2 inch; soft core and my instructor belt - 1.75 inch; striped rank belt). I had it embroidered and that came out awesome - as always. I can say after nearly 6 months my other belt doesn't show much wear. But where it does it is appropriate for 5 day a week training. If you are reading reviews - get it. There are other cheaper options out there, but the reason you buy these belts is because of the feel, quality and how they hang when tied. Kind of silly but quality belts move and hang differently than the cheap <10$ ones and don't have heat melted edges.
