Custom Martial Arts Belt Medals | Premium Metal Awards for Karate, Taekwondo & Judo

Martial arts belt medals are specialized awards that recognize a practitioner’s progression through belt ranks, a core aspect of many martial arts (e.g., karate, taekwondo, judo) where belts signify skill level, from white (beginner) to black (mastery). These medals are designed to celebrate rank advancement, with designs that incorporate belt colors, symbols of growth (e.g., a rising sun, a ladder), or discipline-specific imagery (e.g., a taekwondo  for black belt). Materials are chosen to reflect the significance of each rank—basic ranks may use zinc alloy with colored plating matching the belt, while higher ranks (like brown or black) may use brass or copper for a more substantial feel. Engravings typically include the practitioner’s name, rank achieved, date, dojo name, and sometimes the instructor’s signature, making each medal a formal record of progress. Unlike competition medals, martial arts belt medals focus on personal development, acknowledging the time, effort, and mastery of techniques required to advance. They are presented in promotion ceremonies, reinforcing the martial art’s emphasis on continuous improvement and respect for the journey. For practitioners, these medals are cherished milestones, marking not just technical skill but also growth in discipline, focus, and character.
