Stretch Iaido Obi

This obi is usuale very sought after, and for a good reason. The middle section is stiff while the two extremities are very soft. At first i couldn’t figure how to tie it but there is a Iaidoka that explains it on YouTube. The problem? Once you use this, you won’t go back to the classic kaku obi. It’s so comfortable i surely will get another.

This obi has definitely helped me improve my sayabiki, a common struggle among women practitioners of iaido. I’ve heard suggestions to wear silk obi, but it is a far more expensive alternative than this stretch obi. A bit of a learning curve to get the right tightness as it loosens quite easily and is a bit longer than traditional obi. But I still recommend it, it’s certainly helped me to improve my sayabiki.

Excellent obi. Very nice and thin , not bulky around waist and holds sword very well and allows easy effortless movement of Saya during Iai training.
Excellent packaging and service from TZD as always

Please explain how to put it on because it is two different parts and extra long compare to normal one.

The stretch obi secure and facilitate the use of both bokken and Iaito.
