Deluxe Red White Panel Belt—Kokaku Obi
An Enduring Symbol of Mastery
Honor your advanced mastery and teaching authority with the Kataaro Deluxe Red White Panel Belt, traditionally known as the Kohaku obi in Japanese and Okinawan martial arts. Commonly worn by high-ranking practitioners such as Renshi, Kyoshi, and even Hanshi, this distinguished belt symbolizes decades of disciplined training, leadership, and technical excellence.
Crafted with exceptional attention to detail, each belt features a pristine red–white panel layout with matching maze-pattern stitching on every section for an impeccably clean, professional appearance. The red end panels measure 10.5 inches, while the remaining alternating panels are precisely balanced—ranging from 9.5 to 11.5 inches—to create a proportionate and traditional design worthy of senior martial arts ranks.
Whether used for karate, kobudo, jujutsu, or other classical martial arts systems, this premium Kohaku obi reflects the honor and responsibility of your role as a senior instructor and mentor.

Choose the ideal embroidery for this belt
To keep your text neatly contained within the end panels, use concise wording and avoid overly long inscriptions. For maximum legibility, select thread colors that provide strong contrast against both panel colors, such as Gold, Metallic Gold, Black, or Chrome. For a distinctive two-tone look, consider white embroidery on the red end panels.
