A3 Dan Certificates for the Highland Karate Association

We recently worked with the Highland Karate Association to re-vamp their Dan grade certificates. 

The certificate is based on the marriage of our standard templates and their original certificate.  

We had some really great feedback, thank you HKA.

A4 Kyu Certificate for Stoneybrook Karate - USA


Our client first enquired if the OGKK produced an International kyu grade certificate. He was advised that unfortunately they did not. This is often the case because most groups award Dan grades centrally, but Kyu grades are often examined at club level, so the certificate should reflect this. 

The translation of kenseikan was a bit problematic, our research found quite a few variations, most we were not particularly happy with to recommend to our client. We look for provenance and regularly correspond with third parties to ensure we recommend suitable translations. Our research eventually took us to the OGKKs list of dojo on Okinawa and it was noticed that Yamashiro Sensei has a dojo in Ishigaki called Kenseikan. We then changed the language in google from English to Japanese and were able to import the kanji directly into our graphics package. 
Draft A4 Kyu Certificate

We provided a full translation for the club name but there were too many kana for a Hanko. 
We look for symmetry in the hanko; so recommended a 3 x 4 layout of kana reading Stoneybrook Karate Dojo. Timewise the project was very much a "loss leader", but there is a lot of satisfaction in investing additional time to ensure best service to our clients. 

Happy faces with New Certificates

Nice to do another project for karateka across the pond, Oss!

So if you are thinking of updating your certificates with either a full or semi custom version just drop us a e Mail and we can start developing a graphic for your approval.

KAR Kanban

We recently made a Kanban for Kaze Arashi Ryu to replace a scroll.
The scroll with their kanji would be taken to their different dojo and displayed while training.
They were looking to replace it with something a little more substantial.

KAR Kanban

The KAR kanji read Wind Storm Style, the photo shows the completed kanban prior to dispatch.

Grading Examiner Stamp

We have recently made up a grading stamp for a newly qualified  grading examiner.

Although only a small gift from their club, was does it signify?

Well for the recipient it signifies, twenty years of karate, attainment of Sandan, recognition as a club level instructor by his association, undertaking a written exam and responding with consideration drawing on all of the experience gained in his journey so far.

Small Stamp = Big Achievement.
