Hit band (4)

I believe the answer is:

belt

This clue is a double definition.

'hit' is the first definition.
(I know that belt is a more specific form of the action hit)

'band' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for belt that I've seen before include "Zone; go quickly" , "Zone - connecting strip" , "Zone; leather strip" , "Hit; judo rank" , "Zone - hit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
