I can see how it could be useful for young kids, who can't tie their belts yet. But adults? Is this really a thing?


Don't feel bad you're not the only one.

It does not seem to be trend or at least not a very popular one. For children, it might be common in some circumstances and there are a few martial art supplies retailers that have special “easy belts” for children that stay on and are fixed with elastic bands or Velcro(magic tape). On the other hand, it is t unheard of for certain dojo and traditional tournaments to have rules against them. For example, every tournament or karate event on Okinawa strictly forbids any additions or modifications to the basic white gi and regular belt. No pins or accessories of any kind.
