We offer:

Adding additional holes to a belt.

​

Are your belts approved for competition (USAPL, IPF, etc.)?

Yes in most cases.

Our belts meet the specs for all major federations.

Most federations only require that your belt meets their spec to be approved.

Some federations (like IPF) require explicit approval which we do not currently have. This is rarely an issue outside of high level meets and record attempts.

It's always a good idea to check with your meet director on specific requirements.​​​​​​​​​
