When a competitor steps off the mat after earning first place, what they receive should reflect the effort they put in. All Time Awards creates custom Taekwondo medals and trophies for dojangs, tournaments, schools, and martial arts organizations nationwide. Whether you need five awards or five hundred, every piece is made to order with your design, colors, and text.
Taekwondo is built on discipline and precision. The awards recognizing that effort should reflect the same standards. Generic medals from a catalog don’t carry the same meaning as something designed for your specific event or program.
If you’re organizing a Taekwondo tournament, running a dojang, or coordinating a school awards program, custom awards are a direct way to make recognition meaningful.
What Makes a Taekwondo Award Custom
Beyond the Stock Option
Most martial arts suppliers offer stock medals with a generic Taekwondo figure and a ribbon. They work, but they don’t represent your school, your tournament, or your brand.
Custom means your logo, your colors, your event name, and your date. It means the award was made for this moment, not pulled off a warehouse shelf.
Why the Details Matter
The design elements on a Taekwondo medal or trophy communicate something real to the recipient. A well-made award tells a competitor their achievement was taken seriously.
That starts with the artwork, runs through the material choice, and ends with how the finished piece looks and feels in hand.
Types of Custom Taekwondo Medals
Die Cast and Spin Cast Options
Custom Taekwondo medals are typically produced in die cast zinc alloy or spin cast formats. Die cast medals offer sharp detail and a solid, weighty feel. Spin cast medals are a cost-effective option for high-volume orders.
Both can be finished in gold, silver, or bronze plating, with options for enamel color fill, custom ribbons, and logo engraving.
What You Can Customize on a Medal
- Medal shape: round, shield, or custom die cut
- Front and back artwork and logo
- Plating finish: gold, silver, antique bronze, or black nickel
- Enamel color fills
- Ribbon color and length
- Printed or woven text on the ribbon
Types of Custom Taekwondo Trophies
Traditional Column Trophies
Column trophies with a Taekwondo figure on top remain a staple for tournament use. They can be ordered in multiple heights to distinguish placement tiers and are available with a custom engraving plate on the base.
Resin Figure Trophies
Resin trophies offer more detailed sculpting and a premium finished look. These work well for championship events, black belt ceremonies, or instructor recognition. Custom resin figures can depict specific Taekwondo stances or techniques rather than a generic martial arts pose.
Acrylic and Modern Award Styles
Flat acrylic awards have grown in popularity for programs that want a modern, display-ready piece. They laser engrave with high detail, ship without breakage risk, and display well on a desk or shelf.
What to Put on a Taekwondo Medal or Trophy
Text and Engraving
Most Taekwondo awards include the event name, placement or division, and the year. Trophies typically have a brass or aluminum engraving plate on the base. Medals can have text stamped directly into the metal or printed on the ribbon.
For dojang or school awards, adding the school name and belt rank is common. For tournament awards, including the weight class or age division gives recipients lasting context for the achievement.
Ordering Custom Taekwondo Awards for Tournaments
Planning Your Order Timeline
Custom medals and trophies take time to produce. For tournaments, ordering four to six weeks in advance gives you room to review proofs and request adjustments before the event date.
Larger orders for regional or national-level events may require additional lead time depending on design complexity and quantity.
What to Have Ready When You Order
- Vector logo file (.ai or .eps preferred)
- Event name and date
- Award quantities by placement and category
- Preferred medal or trophy style
- Any specific color or finish requirements
Taekwondo Awards for Dojangs and School Programs
Year-Round Recognition Needs
Tournaments are one use case, but many Taekwondo schools order custom awards throughout the year. Belt testing ceremonies, end-of-year banquets, and instructor appreciation events all call for awards that carry the school’s identity.
A consistent award design across events builds a sense of tradition within a program. Students who earn awards year after year start to recognize the visual identity behind each piece.
Student Achievement Awards Beyond Competition
Custom medals and trophies don’t have to be reserved for tournament placements. Many dojangs use custom awards to recognize attendance, improvement, attitude, and leadership — qualities that don’t show up on a tournament bracket but are central to Taekwondo training.
