Jiu Jitsu Belt
- In stock
We spent a good deal of time refining our Hemp Jiu Jitsu Belts and we are proud of the latest version. Our belts feature a 100% hemp twill exterior, an organic cotton fill, 8 rows of stitching, rank sleeves on all belts, and an embroidered Datsusara in Kangi patch.
Thanks to the properties of Hemp our gi belt naturally fights microbes like staph and other nasties, it far more durable than cotton and environmentally friendly too.
Please note the latest batch of belts runs a little long and size lengths below have been updated. They will usually shrink 3-4" over time with a hot water wash and machine dry.
Technical specs
Care
Bag Care: You will likely never need to wash your Datsusara bag as hemp stays naturally clean due to it's antimicrobial and breathing properties. In case you do we recommend you only hand wash in cold water (cold water prevents material shrinkage) and line dry. It is possible to machine wash the bags but it's tricky and we cannot warranty against damage from machine washing. As for the "Nasty bags" (which are synthetic) we recommend washing them however you like but line dry.
Apparel Care: For apparel you can wash however you want. But don't use any bleach as it weakens the hemp, and do keep in mind the hotter the water and dryer setting the more things will shrink.
For new gis we strongly recommend machine washing at least 2-3 times to prevent shedding of the material which occurs naturally with our 100% hemp gis.

Hemp belt praised for exceptional durability and quality. Customers said it's "indestructible" and "one of the most durable belts I've owned." Stays tied, soft yet sturdy. Some noted shrinkage issues and occasional stitching concerns. A few mentioned width slightly below competition standards. Excellent customer service with swift replacements when needed.
I use this for Judo. I had my aunt take the section off for strips since it's not needed and add my name in Japanese and English.
I like the weight of the belt and it's nice and sturdy.
Trained a long time to reach the brown belt in BJJ, so long in fact that I’m on my second Datsusara bag. Really appreciate the quality of the products. I also love that the belt looks a little worn in, I think it improves my grappling. Hopefully I don’t have this one as long as my purple belt, but I do know that it will keep the gi together no matter how long I have it!
Excellent quality! I’ve purchased the last three hemp belts from Datsusara ..
Thanks for coming back for more and thank you for the post, also glad you love the belts :) ! -Chris
Datusara never disappoints. Quality is always on point. Customer service is 5 star as well.
Thank you Diane, that's wonderful to hear. :) -Chris
Amazing service! My belt got misplaced by delivery company. Customer service responded swiftly and sent me a replacement the next day.
I bought a hemp blue belt 3 years ago and it has held up beautifully. Only in the last 6 months have I noticed fraying and wear which is not a complaint. It’s cool to see my belt reflect the training I put in (finally!) because this has been one of the most durable belts I’ve owned so far. It’s soft and flexible and stays tied. I air dry it and i noticed pretty early on that it takes longer to dry than my traditional cotton belt. Excited to see how this purple belt will age.
I noticed that with our belts as well, just hoping to turn in my 5 year old blue for that purple myself someday soon. Gratz and thank you for the review and for buying another hemp belt from us. -Chris
Super sick, super heavy, works great on promotion day when somebody has to walk the gauntlet 💪🏻
The moment you touch this belt you can feel the quality and the durability of the hemp fabric. The belt feels very dense but in the best way possible. The hue of blue is very aesthetically pleasing and the Kanji script on the belt is a beautiful touch that really makes this belt very special.
Glad you are pleased with the belt, may it serve you well. -Chris
Great material
Love the belt. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Love the way they look love the weight on them perfect belt and fits great !! We are going all the way to black !!
The belt is flimsy, soft, and a great shade that goes with all of my gis. I absolutely love it and recommend everyone to get this one if you just can't find the right one.
This belt is well constructed and will take all the abuse you can dish out. Looks great!!
Great belt and very durable
I spent my last 270 dollers on the blue hemp gi and blue belt and I do not regret it. I am 5'9 160 lbs and A2 fits well. I also have a flow hemp that is nice but this one is much softer. Hemp gis are the best and well worth the extra bread.
Comes feeling already broken in. The color blue is spot on. I was worried from the website that it might have a purplish hue, but it doesn’t. Matches the datsusara blue gi very well.
Super nice belt ….. definitely gonna buy more belts as I go up
Great quality & feel! Will buy all my future belts from Datsusara.
This is by far the best belt I’ve seen. I get compliments every time I roll. Belt knot stays locked!
Love it!
I have ordered two of my BJJ belts from Datsusara and have been totally blown away by the quality of their work both times. Regardless of sweat, blood, or just plain ol' athletic wear and tear, these belts just keep going and going, never accumulating anything more than mat time and appreciation.
I cannot recommend Datsusara enough. If you haven't tried their gear yet, give it a go...you'll be glad you did.
Belts are nice quality and thickness. Looks good and ties easy.
Durable and great fit. Like Joe said, "these things are indestructible..."
This is my second belt from this company and both were great, high quality! Looking forward to buying more products from them in the future!
I love these belts and have been wearing them for years. I’m on my second black belt and interestingly enough, the transition color on this one is blue, unlike the white on my last one. Pretty cool. I wonder the probability of my next one wearing through to purple. 🤔
Great belts! Thanks
As others have said, it’s a very high quality product. Love the coloring (mine is brown) & details on both ends. My only gripe is that the belt has shrunk A TON, I always hang dried it and even would stretch it before hanging it up. My belt has shrunk a full 6” since I received it in the mail. My favorite belt that I’ve ever had except it’s barely long enough for me to tie a proper not anymore.
I’ve owned both the flow hemp belt and this one. In terms of material they are just about identical, one thing that stood out to me was the stitching on the Datsusara one leave more to be desired. Weird lines on the stitching where it was sowed over the patch they put on, as well as loose stitching already coming out. The cut of the belt was off the first belt I was sent as well, tips of the belt were cut very crooked, luckily the customer service was amazing they sent out a replacement belt almost immediately. 3 stars is for the customer service, The bad thing is that the replacement was only slightly better than the one I was originally sent, still had problems with stitching and cuts. Other than that I would probably look at flow’s hemp belt for better QC of the belt and priced just about the same.
Steve,
Sorry you got some less than proper belts there. I'll look into this and make sure it is just a flaw in a few units, which is what I suspect since most are very happy with the belts. This will help us improve them next batch. We are friends with the Flow folks and we use the same manufacturer, so the quality should be near identical even though we did a more custom fancy design on ours this time.
-Chris
I like everything about this belt, except the one I ordered measured at 3.8cm wide instead of 4cm, making it technically illegal according to IBJJF competition standards (the rule is between 4cm and 5cm). It's probably "close enough" and nothing to worry about, but my suggestion would be to make these just a little bit wider to account for manufacturer error.
Just got in my new hemp belt with my new hemp gi. The cotton belt from my academy (A4) was too small and left about a half inch of extra belt on each side once tied. Way too tight.
This A5 hemp belt was way too big out of the box, but after washing as instructed, it fit just right and now I won't look like the fat guy sucking it in behind a belt one-size-too-small.
I also prefer the width of this belt. Its not as wide as other gi belts I've used, but I prefer it. Stays on nice and tight.
I'd really like to see street clothes counterparts to the fight gear Datsusara makes. A good hemp belt (with a buckle) on some good hemp jeans sounds like a natural next step for Datsusara.
I received a blue a2 belt for Xmas after researching a quality belt to buy. I mostly wanted a hemp belt for its anti microbial characteristics, and supposed strength. I wanted this hemp belt to last my entire blue belt career w/o having to buy another. At first I was a lil disappointed the belt was 1.6" wide because I'm used to a 1.75" belt, but after rolling in it I don't notice the difference in width and became accustomed to the new belt rather quickly. The belt is very stiff out of the bag, and I had to wash it once to soften it. The belt is high quality, the stiching is aligned perfectly, the stripe bar isn't crooked and the stiching is nice. Overall it's a good belt and I'll most likely get the same one when/if I hit purple belt. My main gripe is it has a purplish hue to the blue coloring, which has led some folks to ask if it's a purple belt. It's not purple enough to be a purple belt however.
