Qrow's cape stops just below the waist

Glynda's stops above the knees

Winter's coat has a split tail, isn't going to get bunched up or tangled aroung her legs as easily

Ironwood's jacket is actually relatively short

Yang's hair is kind of mandatory, tying it would risk damage as well.

most characters with long hair tie it back in one way or another.

Scarlet ditched his coat the minute he got into a fight

Sage doesn't exactly have the most dynamic fighting style, so the risk to him becoming hindered is fairly minimal

Pyrrha's sash was only on one side, at worst she might step on it.

I'm not saying a trench coat is 100% going to fuck you over, but when you are a speed fighter they are an omnipresent risk.

Brenner wears a trench coat, i have nothing wrong with using them as part of a characters combat gear, but for an agility type they are not the best choice. Neat...you could also add the split tail to Magentos trench coat, to the other modifications alraedy mentioned.

Also, while I said he would do flips and aerial combat, that is not the bulk of his style. His style generally focuses on efficiency and quick reactions for avoiding and counter-attacking. I'd imagine he's only flip during a situation in which he may need to reach the opponent's back, and stepping round them is not strategically feasible.
