BJJ Belts by Toro BJJ

Our BJJ belts are IBJJF-approved and built for durability through daily training.
Choose from adult BJJ belts for competition and academy use, or kids BJJ belts designed for younger athletes.

Built for Real Training, Not Just Belt Photos

A belt should do its job every class: tie clean, stay put, and hold up through years of training and washing. That is why we keep our belts simple, durable, and IBJJF approved. No gimmicks. Just solid construction that matches the work you are putting in on the mats.

What Makes a Good Belt

If you train consistently, you notice the difference fast. A quality belt keeps its structure longer, breaks in evenly, and does not feel like it is falling apart after a handful of washes.

  • Knot security: A belt that stays tied means fewer interruptions during rounds.
  • Even break-in: It should soften naturally without going floppy on one side.
  • Durable stitching: Clean stitching helps prevent early fraying and splitting.
  • Consistent feel: A belt should keep its shape instead of twisting up over time.

IBJJF Approved and Competition-Ready

If you compete (or plan to), IBJJF approval is not a “nice to have.” It keeps your gear compliant and avoids last-minute stress on tournament day. Our belts are built to match IBJJF requirements so you can focus on training and competition.

Pearl Weave as the Premium Option

Some athletes prefer a pearl weave belt because it stays crisp and structured longer. It is a great pick if you train a lot, want a clean finish, and like a belt that holds its form through repeated washing. Same purpose, just a tougher build.

  • Holds shape well over time
  • Breaks in evenly (no weird soft spots)
  • Stays clean-looking for promotions and competition

How to Choose the Right Size

You want enough length to wrap and tie a secure knot, without a ton of extra tail. For adults, most athletes match belt size to gi size. For kids, youth sizing matters more because too much extra length turns into constant re-tying during class.

Care Tips

Belts take a beating: sweat, friction, frequent washes, and being tied and untied constantly. A few basic habits help keep your belt in good shape for the long haul:

  • Wash cold or warm (avoid high heat when possible)
  • Air dry or use low heat to reduce shrink and stress on stitching
  • Avoid harsh bleach that can weaken fabric over time
  • Let it dry fully before it goes back in the bag

Why Toro

Toro is built around training culture. We care about the details because we know what gets annoying fast: a belt that won’t stay tied, stitching that frays early, or a belt that loses structure before you even feel like you’ve earned it.

If you are shopping for BJJ belts that are IBJJF approved, durable, and made for everyday use, you are in the right place. Pick your rank, get the right size, and keep showing up.
