Experience Unmatched Quality with Martial Arts Badges & Patches
At EmbroideryBadge.UK, we specialise in martial arts badges and martial arts patches that reflect dedication, discipline, and pride. For over 30 years, we have designed and produced high-quality embroidered badges for clubs, dojos, and training academies across multiple disciplines. Our team understands how important a badge is in representing the spirit of martial arts, so we ensure every piece combines durability, precision, and visual impact.
Expertise Built on Experience
Our long history of craftsmanship allows us to deliver custom martial arts patches with unmatched consistency. We create designs for karate, taekwondo, jiu-jitsu, kung fu, and other martial arts schools. Moreover, our specialists work closely with each client to capture the essence of their club’s identity. Because we use the latest Japanese embroidery machines, every stitch achieves clarity, texture, and strength.
Advanced Technology, Superior Results
Modern machinery meets artisan skill in every badge we make. These advanced systems help us maintain exact detailing on all martial arts badges, from small uniform emblems to large club back patches. In addition, we offer a range of materials and finishes, allowing you to select the perfect balance between tradition and innovation. Whether you need patches for belts, jackets, or training uniforms, our process guarantees consistent quality.
Seamless Ordering and Dependable Delivery
We have built our reputation on reliability and service. From the moment you request your custom martial arts patches, we guide you through a clear, two-stage approval process. You receive a digital mock-up first, followed by a production photograph for confirmation before full manufacturing begins. Furthermore, our flexible production system enables quick turnarounds without sacrificing detail or durability.
Why Choose EmbroideryBadge.UK
Every order demonstrates our commitment to quality, affordability, and personal service. We take pride in producing martial arts patches that not only look exceptional but also withstand years of regular training and washing. By combining advanced equipment with experienced craftsmanship, we help every martial arts organisation wear its emblem with confidence.
Let’s get started! First ensure you obtain permission from the club to reproduce their artwork. If you’d like us to match your badge to an existing badge, please provide all the details (badge type/amount/size/border/backgrounds/backings/colours) and for greater accuracy, please ensure the badge picture is clear and taken from an aerial angle. Otherwise, please provide a high resolution file with any new badge designs for us to accurately copy. If you have any pantone references that is always a bonus
Decide how you’d like to attach the badge to the uniform. There are three methods:
Iron on
Badges can be ironed on or heat pressed onto the garments (manual stitching is also recommended for greater durability).
Embroidery applique
The badge is outlined on an embroidery machine to give a fantastic finish.
Manual stitching
The badge is stitched by hand or by sewing machine.
Our art team will send various mock-ups for your approval – you will have 100% control over this to ensure the product perfectly matches your initial design.
What is the minimum order?
The minimum order is from 25 upwards per badge, depending on the type of badge you choose, however; you can place a larger order and take advantage of the higher volume discounts.
What type of badge would you recommend for Martial Arts badges?
Most martial arts badges are either embroidered or woven, as both provide the strength and sharp detail needed for uniforms and belts. Embroidered badges give a raised, traditional look that reflects the heritage of martial arts, while woven badges allow for finer text and intricate logo details. Many dojos and clubs use the same emblem with different thread colours to represent belt levels or ranks. For a long-lasting finish, Merrow borders are often chosen, especially when badges are hand-sewn onto uniforms or jackets.
What is the difference between these badges?
We have made simple videos showing the different types of badges.

Can we match an existing badge or direct embroidery design?
Yes! All you have to do is let us know the specifications and the thread colours by stating the Pantone references or using our high-resolution shade cards. Alternatively, post the existing badge to us, and we’ll match the colours as closely as possible for you.
How soon can I expect my order?
Sublimation and embroidered badges can be shipped within 7-10 days
Please allow 2-3 weeks for woven badges. Specialists’ badges will vary.
Can I see a photograph of the finished badge before I confirm an order?

In the first Digital Mockup step, we create a photograph of a computer-generated mockup, the idea is to ensure that elements in the artwork are present, and this will require your first approval (please note any changes in this stage are free). Once you first approve, this will trigger the production/physical approval step, and we will create a photograph of your actual stitched-out badge. Once you second approve, this will trigger production, or you can request up to 4 sample badges to be sent to you (please note any changes at this stage will be chargeable).
Can I get a sample of my badge before I order the entire quantity?
99% of our customers are happy with digital and production approval from a photograph of their badge. If you want to order a sample badge before a total order, the cost is as follows:- £30 + VAT + tracked and signed postage from Brentwood, UK, to your destination. Please note that an actual physical sample request adds up to 9 days to your final delivery.
