CAN A CHILD LEARN TO DO IT UP BY THEMSELVES?
The NEVER-TIE BELT is very easy to learn to do. Just “Flip, Stick, & Go! (No more going to YouTube to endlessly practice tying the difficult knot and still never getting the hang of it). Then your child (or you) can do it once at the beginning of class and never have to worry about it after that!
It has been field tested in five different martial arts including grappling arts like BJJ and Judo, and it cannot be grappled off.
Please refer to the sizing chart below. Measure around the waist at the belly button area without a gi jacket on (with a regular fabric tape-measure), then look at the chart to see which size belt to use. The XXS, XS, and S fit most children between 2-12 years old! The Medium and up fit most adults.
Yes you can! If you’re not a school owner, then please speak to your school about bringing them in, even if only on a trial basis! Your school instructors will love them and make them part of their regular quarterly order! But yes you can order just one!

SHOULDN’T KIDS LEARN TO TIE THEIR OWN BELTS?
YES! It’s encouraged to learn to tie their traditional martial arts belt as they go for sure! The Never-Tie Belt is great for little ones (who can’t tie) while they learn to tie the traditional way. Or just if an instructor wants to speed up the process of getting class underway. And keeping class on track! Or even for those who don’t want their training time interrupted by always having to tie their belt! And many more reasons you can read about it the About section or the News section.
HOW IS IT MADE? AND HOW DO YOU PUT IT ON?
THE NEVER-TIE BELT is made of of the toughest 100% cotton belt material, with a patented “pre-tied knot with hook & loop fastening system” so that it cannot be grappled off. You put it on by sliding the belt-end into the slot behind the pre-tied knot and flip the “fuzzy” side up so that you can latch the “sticky” side onto it, flip everything over against your waist and you’re ready! It looks just like a traditional martial arts belt and nobody can tell it’s any different (except that it’s easy to put on and cannot come off). See videos of “How to Put On” in the About section.
HOW DO I INCORPORATE IT INTO MY CLASSES?
So many different ways, from starting your little ones with the Never-Tie Belt right from when they sign up, with the gi purchase… (and some schools give the traditional belt as well so they can practice and learn as they get bigger)… to offering it for sale along with all the other belts on your wall for sale as an alternative… to putting it in your online store that your school offers… to incorporating it up until a certain age or up until a certain belt color… Every school does it differently, but most common is picking up a “Starter-pack” and giving all your Tiny Tot classes the belts, and keep re-ordering “Starter-pack”s as you need them… Call/email for school owner special Wholesale pricing. Make your kids classes focus on FUN, not distractions of tying… and make your instructors’ and parents’ lives easier and more fun too!
