Why Quality Matters in Judo Gear

In judo, both skill and knowledge play vital roles, but your gear matters too. Whether you're practicing a new throw or facing off in a competition, you need gear that’s both tough and comfortable.

The Role of Protective and Performance Gear in Judo

Good gear lets you move freely and stay safe. Whether it’s a training gi, competition suit, or belt, each piece is part of the system that helps you perform your best.

How GreenHill Ensures Quality

GreenHill’s gear is crafted with durable materials and tested by professionals. Our products are made for those who strive for excellence in every move.

Everything You Need to Know About the Judo Belt

The judo belt system isn’t just about colors—it tells a story of growth and determination. Each belt color reflects time spent on the mat, hours of practice, and a deepening understanding of judo.

Importance of the Judo Belt in Training and Competition

The belt represents where a judoka stands in their journey. From beginner to master, the color you wear signals your rank, responsibilities, and readiness to learn or teach.

Materials Used in Judo Belts

A strong, tightly woven judo belt from GreenHill won’t loosen mid-match. Our belts hold firm and look great, whether you’re going for your 10th dan or earning your first stripe.

Understanding Judo Belt Colors

What Each Judo Belt Color Represents

• White belt – The beginning of the journey; symbolizes purity and openness to learning.
• Yellow belt – The first rays of understanding; basic techniques are introduced.
• Orange belt – Represents growing knowledge and confidence.
• Green belt – The stage where balance and strength develop.
• Blue belt – Reflects deeper skills and stronger control.
• Brown belt – Nearing mastery; techniques are sharpened and refined.
• Black belt – The beginning of true mastery and teaching; a level that many strive for.
Each of these coloured belts has meaning. The belt grades are not just steps—they are milestones of effort and contribution to the art of judo.

Progression Through Belt Grades

After the colored belts, practitioners may advance through dan grades, beginning with 1st degree black belt and progressing up to the 10th dan. Higher grades, such as the 6th and 7th, often receive a red belt, honoring lifelong commitment and extraordinary achievement in judo.

Choosing the Right Judo Belt for You

Tips for Selecting the Correct Size and Type

Choose a belt that wraps around your waist twice and leaves a bit of length on both ends. The belt should fit snugly without slipping during practice.

Judo Belts for Beginners vs. Competitors

Beginners usually start with a white belt, working their way through the belt system as they grow. Competitors, however, often seek belts that reflect their rank and experience, such as the black belt or advanced dan grades.
