Hey all
Does anyone know what type of waist band Bruce Lee wore during his fighting scenes and in his films?
I know it’s not a karate belt but some long cloth type band. See BrucePoster jpeg image attachment - the band in the image is what I’m looking for.
Also, how does one wrap this cloth band around the waist securely so it won’t come off.
Where can I buy one online?
Thank you for your suggestions.
the pic shows nothing.
it’s a sash belt to hold his pants up.
You can buy them at any martial arts place.
here’s a bunch in different colours

Bruce Lee waist band…
Thks for the response David
Here are a couple more pictures of the waist band that I’m looking for. Especially, the white band which doesn’t look that shiny or silky like the sashes from your link.
It’s a longer cloth type band that I believe he wrapped around several times.
These images should be better visibly; the white band is exactly what I’m looking for.
How does one wrap this band securely without it coming off?
Thks
it’s a piece of cloth, same as a sash.
you can have a shiny sash or a plain cotton one or polyester if you prefer.
You’re using images from the 1970’s and they are likely movie props as well which are generally custom made.
so, go to a textile store and fashion something for yourself. I don’t hink anyone really sells what amounts to long strips of rag cloth.
make a nice one, wrap it around and tuck it in.
can i ask why a belt is so important to you?

Hi David
I’m hoping the band will provide a given structure, sense of centered balance, during quick changes in direction when playing soccer -
thks for the information!
Have a great weekend!
I believe you may be correct in that these bands from the 70s are no longer in use and I may need to go to china town or a textile store or something
Hope you find what your looking for . But OMG lookat Bruces abs!! is that what thousands of crunches will get you?
waist band

true answer is no
a varied fitness lifestyle and being active gets u those abs and more
change exercise routines, make them challenging, unique, different, etc.
resistance training, stretching after a workout, and eating right (avoid fast food joints)
and there’s more

thats actually what the sash is intended for. helps keep your abdomen ‘secured’. kind of similar to what a back brace does, but on a different scale and not soley intended for the back.
get a lenght of cloth around 10 feet and wrap it comfortable to provide support.

just wrap it snuggly and firm yet not tight, and then knot it appropriately. go on google or youtube and search “how to tie a kungfu sash” should help
I believe “the white one”, was simply his shirt that was ripped off in the film, “Fist of Fury.”
thats how all us manly men do it !
although i take my q from the Hulkster
can you hear whats happening in the hulkisphear??
waist band
Thanks Lucas
I’m hoping that the sash also supports the back straight when doing quick changes in direction in soccer.

LOL!!
anyway yes it keeps your stuff in ya gut stable as all that torquing of the waist is supposed to be bad for your organs and everything if done with out any kind of support
i just used a weightlifting belt
Greetings,
cwbp15:
The belt that Bruce Lee wore appeared to be made for the movie. It looks like some sort of secured elastic It is not your typical sash. It appears that Chuck Norris is wearing something similar. If anything, it helps maintain continuity between shot scenes.
Yang Jwing Ming used to sell belts that were designed to help minimize shock to the internal organs. You may want to contact him or the people at YMAA (or the schools of his students) to see if they still have them.
Since you are so concerned about support, why don’t you avail yourself to a serious core conditioning program?

Distance yourself form the crack addicts, you don’t want to know them and you certainly don’t want them stealing all your stuff.

Hi Mickey
I am core training and in the meantime looking for some sort of support for lower back while playing soccer and making those quick changes in direction.
Thks for the response.
not in Martial Arts Mart??
that looks like a, funny enough, Chinese kung fu belt. It has a thick section that goes around your waist, then cords that come off and wrap around again to tie it into place.
Knot to the side is student, knot in the center is Sifu.
HEY GENE! You don’t sell these on your site, what’s the Story?
Greetings,
That wushu belt does look nice. But it doesn’t appear to have that sturdy support that I think cwbp15 needs. Yang Jwing Ming had the good stuff.
mickey
On second thought…
The wushu belt looks like it can be personalized to cwbp15’s needs. He can reinforce it (as a suggestion) with heavy canvas or dense foam rubber in the area that goes across his back.
