As the snow melts away, the bones of the dead warriors from the battles of the previous fall come back to light; bleached by the rain and sun, the macabre sight reminds all the glory seeking ronins passing by of the fleeting nature of life….

This is the origin of the Nozarashi - Bleached Bones - concept.

We envisioned our premium Jiu-Jitsu belt as a sacred object, a totem inhabited by the ancestral spirit of the martial arts way, forever hungry, and fed by the athlete's obsession with training, and ones pursuit of perfection.

For these reasons we have worked tirelessly on our new Nozarashi belt, pushing the boundaries of what a BJJ belt is, rejecting all previous conceptions in order to create something never been seen before in the BJJ community.

To start we have chosen a new special "Caterpillar" weave to give the belt not only a vintage worn out look, but also, due to it's rope like quality, keep it firmly in place once tied.

The rank bar is made of premium silk satin material, woven purposely at different angles to create a smooth, but visible traditional Edo period style woven pattern, symbolizing the everlasting flow of this martial art.

An inch was added on both ends of the belt, so that it will look powerful once tied around the waist, and not look flimsy and small like a bow-tie as other brands' belts do after a few months of use.

We made the size label of the belt a tear-away one, so if you prefer a cleaner look, you can easily remove it without damaging the belt etc.

And if all these details weren't enough, we have included not one, but two specially designed Half Sumo elastic velcro ties ( See photos below)  which can be used to keep the belt neatly folded when stored in your bag, but most importantly wrapped around the knot while training, it will keep it tied around your waist even during the hardest and most intense sparring. Worm guard players beware ;)

Also check out the new extra large printed cardboard box the belt comes in, it makes the belt perfect to be presented as a gift as well. 

SUPER BUNDLE - aside from listing each belt individually, for the first time we are offering a Super Bundle to all those warriors out there committed to walk the budo path all the way to Black belt, and that don’t want to miss out on this limited edition design - When choosing the Super Bundle option, you’ll receive one belt per each color - Blue, Purple, Brown, Black - of the same size and save some good $$ in the process!

PS: We have loaded tons of photos of the new belts, make sure to scroll through them all to see all the cool details these belts have.
