Kyu and Dan Certificates for Kempo Karate Association

We recently worked with Braintree Shotokan Karate Club to produce Dan grade certificates. It was great working with the Kempo Karate Association on their new Kyu and Dan certificates. 

They were after something a little different so went for a full custom package. 

We really like how the two certificates complement each other. 

A4 Custom Kyu Certificate

Kempo will complete the details for Kyu level and they will order individual Dan level with serial number, names, dates and grade inserted in katakana and kanji.

Kyu grade hanko

We have made up a couple of sets of Kyu grade stamps for dojo and can adapt to your needs.

Ikkyu, Nikyu and Sankyu stamps 10mm x 10mm. We prepared a few options for our client and they went with the traditional kanji. The standard kana is used for Kyu grade levels 1 to 3. However when we produce Dan Certificates the kana for bank notes are used for additional security. Although the stamps are only 10mm we have managed to maintain a high level of detail in the finished Inkan.

Completed Hanko

Next a set of 1st to 8th Kyu hanko, 14mm x 14mm in a brush style font.

If you are interested in a set of hanko for your dojo (8 or more) we will offer a £50.00 GBP discount. We can make these up in a round or square format, in a block or brush font, in red or black and any size up to 14mm for the same price as an individual hanko / inkan. 

1st to 4th Kyu hanko

5th to 8th Kyu hanko

I am often asked - hanko is the name for the stamp and inkan is the name for the impression made, but they are regularly interchanged.

It is usually obvious from the context of the sentence what is meant .

Hanko for a New Association

A square 24 x 24mm Association hanko and an oval 16 x 11mm personal Hanko. 

The hanko have been made with our standard block style font, we also offer a brush style font and in collaboration with a partner in Japan, we can now offer a seal script font at a small additional cost. 

We also produce round 12mm personal stamps and larger 38 x 38mm square Association stamps for Dan grade certificates etc. Our stamps are self inking and last for many years, additional ink pads are available if they ever run out.

Above is the work up of the design for the hanko from our graphics suite.

A New Option for A3 Dan Certificates

We recently worked with Braintree Shotokan Karate Club to produce Dan grade certificates. 

BSKC Shodan Certificate

We recreated their logo as a vector image and produced what is now an option "C+" dan grade certificate. 

Option "C" is a template where clubs fill in all the detail of grade and names etc and there is no individual translation of names. 

BSKC Nidan Certificate

BSKC requested if we could add the Dan rank kanji so the club purchases a base template and then orders additional templates for additional dan ranks. 

We like this as an option as there is no additional English text mixed in with the kanji.

BSKC Sandan Certificate

Our most popular certificate remains Option "A" where we translate individual recipient names, but this new "C+" option is a development for those groups that require something less bespoke. 

We will always guide you through the options if you contact us.
