Abstract
This invention is designed to provide a martial arts practitioner a secure fit around the waist while engaged in training or competition. The practitioner enters the garment similar to pants then secures the inner drawstring generally made of a cotton or similar material. Next the practitioner secures the hook and loop system to create a vertical seal. Then the flap is secured to the inside of the pants. The belt is fastened by drawing the belt through the metal ring or similar sturdy material and secured using the hook and loop portion on the belt. Lastly, the flap is folded down to cover the belt. The flap will keep an opponent from using the belt to their advantage in a match as well as provide a level of safety so appendages do not get tangled in the system.

The invention is applied to the bottom (pant) portion of the GI. Where the pants serves as a training uniform which is grabbed, tugged and pulled.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Martial arts has become increasingly popular as a form of recreation and exercise. It has also developed into a competitive sport. The benefits of such activity include cardiovascular fitness and toning of the muscular system.
- One of the key aspects of martial arts is the ability to practice the art in a repetitive manner to develop a mastery of particular moves and forms. As a result, the Gi will be tugged, grabbed, and pulled numerous times during a training session or competitive sporting event.
- Problematically, the tugging, grabbing, and pulling loosens the gi bottom (pant) with the potential of being removed during a training session or a competitive sport event. As a result the practitioner must shift his or her focus to secure the Gi bottom (pant). As a result, the practitioner may be injured because of the break in concentration or place themselves in a compromising position during a competitive sport event resulting in a injury or a loss. Accordingly what is needed in the relevant art is some way to secure the Gi bottom (pant) so the practitioner can focus on the training session or a competitive sporting event.
