Customized Judo Medal | 3D Relief Martial Arts Championship Awards
This high-quality custom Judo medal features a striking 3D relief of a martial artist performing a one-arm shoulder throw (Ippon Seoi Nage). The surface is finished with an antique brass plating, giving the medal a prestigious and traditional appearance. The recessed Chinese characters for “Judo” (柔道) are filled with black enamel, ensuring high contrast and long-lasting legibility. These custom medals are perfect for dojos, black belt promotion ceremonies, or international invitational tournaments.
Custom Judo medals not only enhance the prestige of the organizing institution but also embody the martial arts tradition, serving as a durable keepsake for participants. With 15 years of experience in zinc alloy die-casting, we turn every medal into a work of art!
Short Intro
We create this custom judo medal for dojos, black belt promotion ceremonies, youth championships, and international invitational tournaments that need a medal with stronger martial arts identity and a more formal championship presence. Instead of using a flat sports-medal layout, we build this design around a dramatic 3D ippon seoi nage throw, which gives the award immediate technical authenticity and stronger competitive character. With high-density zinc alloy die-casting, antique brass plating, recessed black enamel kanji, and a tatami-inspired textured background, this medal feels powerful, traditional, and highly suitable for serious judo recognition.

Why This Medal Fits Judo Championships So Well
- We design this medal especially for judo championships because judo is a sport defined by precision, leverage, and technical execution. The central ippon seoi nage relief captures one of the most iconic throwing techniques in the discipline, which gives the medal immediate authenticity and makes it feel much more relevant than a generic martial arts emblem. The action-focused composition helps the award reflect the technical beauty of the sport itself.
- The antique brass finish adds another important advantage. We use this surface treatment to give the medal a more traditional and prestigious appearance, which works especially well for black belt promotions, serious dojo tournaments, and formal martial arts honours. The single metallic tone emphasises the sculptural quality of the figures and helps the medal feel more like a true championship keepsake.
- The tatami-textured background and kanji lettering also strengthen the martial arts identity of the design. We use these details to honour the traditional roots of judo while keeping the overall medal clean and professional. This makes the medal especially suitable for organisers who want an award that feels technical, respectful, and culturally grounded.
Production Details
- We produce this judo medal in high-density zinc alloy through precision die-casting so the grappling figures, folds of the judogi, throw posture, and circular medal border remain clean and strongly defined. This process gives the medal a heavy-duty feel and allows us to create a pronounced 3D effect in the central action scene, which is one of the core strengths of the design.
- We finish the surface in antique brass plating to create a warmer and more traditional championship look. This finish highlights the raised textures of the figures and makes the medal feel more prestigious than a flat bright-plated alternative. Behind the athletes, we engrave a checkered tatami-style texture directly into the mould so the medal reflects the visual language of a real judo competition floor.
- We recess the kanji “柔道” into the lower part of the medal and fill those characters with black enamel so the wording remains sharp, legible, and durable over time. At the top, we use an integrated reinforced horizontal slot so a wide sublimated ribbon can be attached more securely during movement and ceremony presentation.
What Can Be Customised for This Medal
We can customise this judo championship medal in multiple ways according to your event theme and branding needs, including:
- medal size and thickness
- throwing pose or martial arts action scene
- event name, year, and category wording
- dojo, school, or sponsor logo
- antique brass, antique silver, matte nickel, or other plated finishes
- kanji or language version of the text
- ribbon colour, width, and printed branding
- back-side engraving or commemorative message
- packaging for event distribution or premium presentation
This flexibility makes the design suitable not only for one judo championship, but also for annual dojo tournaments, belt-promotion ceremonies, youth martial arts programmes, and international invitational events.
MOQ & Bulk Order Guidance
We recommend this judo medal for both medium and large event orders, especially for organisers running youth championships, black belt promotion systems, and recurring dojo or invitational programmes. In most cases, 100 pieces is a practical starting quantity, while larger quantities improve average unit cost and make event-wide customisation more efficient.
For dojos, martial arts organisers, schools, and wholesale buyers, bulk production also makes it easier to keep the same championship structure while updating the year, wording, logo, or ribbon branding from one edition to the next. This helps maintain a stronger event identity while keeping production stable and practical.
