ABSTRACT:
A sporting belt apparatus which may be gripped by an athletic opponent comprising a sporting belt and a compression short wherein the compression short maintains the vertical position of the sporting belt relative to the waist of the wearer during active movement of the wearer. The sporting belt is adapted to circumferentially extend around the waist area of a wearer and has a thickness sufficient to allow easy gripping of the sporting belt by the opponent. The compression short has elastic means for conforming said compression short tightly to the pelvis of the wearer and includes a crotch strap which is secured to the sporting belt to maintain the vertical position of the sporting belt relative to the waist of the wearer when an upward force is exerted on the sporting belt. The sporting belt apparatus includes elastic means for conforming the sporting belt tightly to the waist of a wearer. Preferably, a reinforcing connection strip is provided to secure the compression short to the sporting belt with the reinforcing connection strip and the sporting belt cooperating to define a channel located between the reinforcing connection strip and the bottom portion of the sporting belt.
