I was promoted to brown belt in 2024 and couldn’t wait for Half Sumo to drop a new line of belts! The Ryu was worth the wait. Love the color (darker brown) and construction and it is breaking in nicely. And as always with HS, the design elements are amazing.
I only buy my sumo related swag from HS! I wish they made more because our sumo community in the USA would buy the shit out of their stuff if they did!!! we are all patiently waiting, my friends.
