Custom Martial Arts Patches in the UK
Martial arts is built on discipline, identity and pride. Your dojo badge, academy crest or club logo is not just decoration. It represents your training, your values and your community. That is why our custom martial arts patches are made to look sharp, last through tough sessions and reflect your club properly.
At CustomPatches.org.uk, we create high quality embroidered patches, woven badges and Velcro martial arts patches for clubs across the UK. Whether you run a karate dojo, a judo club, a taekwondo school, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy or an MMA gym, we help you turn your design into a professional uniform patch.
If you need sew on patches, iron on backing or hook and loop velcro patches, we produce them to suit your uniform and training needs.

Why Martial Arts Clubs Choose Our Custom Patches
When clubs order martial arts patches, they want three things. Strong stitching. Clear detail. Reliable service.
Built for Training and Competition
Martial arts uniforms go through intense training, regular washing and physical contact. Our embroidered martial arts patches are stitched with durable thread that holds its colour and shape. They are suitable for:
- Gi uniforms
- No gi training wear
- Tracksuits
- Club hoodies and jackets
- Competition uniforms
We use high quality backing options so your club badge stays secure during sparring, grappling and drills.
Clear Identity for Your Dojo or Academy
A custom dojo patch gives your members a shared identity. It shows rank, loyalty and belonging. Whether you need belt rank patches, instructor badges or a full academy crest, we help you keep your branding consistent.
Many UK martial arts schools order:
- Club insignia patches
- Sleeve patches for grading levels
- Back patches for gi jackets
- Shoulder patches with academy name
- Small logo badges for chest placement
We make sure your design is sharp and readable, even from a distance.
Low Minimum Orders for Growing Clubs
Not every martial arts club needs hundreds of patches at once. We offer flexible order quantities so small dojos and new academies can still order professional quality patches without overspending.
This makes it easier for:
- New karate clubs
- Community judo groups
- University BJJ societies
- Local MMA gyms
You can reorder easily when your membership grows.
Free Digital Artwork Proof
Before production starts, we send you a digital mock up of your custom martial arts patch. This allows you to check:
- Logo placement
- Thread colours
- Text clarity
- Size and shape
Only once you approve the design do we move to production. This keeps everything clear and avoids surprises.
Types of Custom Martial Arts Patches We Offer
Different martial arts styles often prefer different finishes. We offer several patch types so you can choose what suits your uniform and branding.
Embroidered Martial Arts Patches
Embroidered patches are the most popular choice for karate, judo and taekwondo clubs. They have raised stitching which gives a traditional and professional look.
They are ideal for:
- Karate gi patches
- Taekwondo sleeve badges
- Judo club crests
- Instructor rank patches
The textured stitching stands out on white and coloured uniforms, making your logo bold and clear.
Woven Martial Arts Patches
If your design includes small text or detailed artwork, woven patches are often a better option. Instead of raised thread, the design is woven tightly together for fine detail.
Woven patches are popular for:
- Brazilian Jiu Jitsu patches
- Detailed academy logos
- Competition patches
- Smaller chest badges
They are lightweight and sit flat on the gi, which many BJJ practitioners prefer.
Printed Martial Arts Patches
Printed patches are suitable for complex artwork or colour gradients. If your club logo includes shading or intricate graphics, printed patches can capture those details clearly.
These are commonly used for:
- MMA gym branding
- Modern martial arts clubs
- Promotional merchandise
They still come with durable backing options and strong stitching around the border.
PVC Martial Arts Patches
PVC patches offer a bold, modern look. They are waterproof, flexible and highly durable. MMA and tactical training gyms often choose PVC patches for training gear and kit bags.
They are suitable for:
- Velcro removable patches
- Gym bags
- Training equipment
- Outdoor martial arts events
Backing Options for Martial Arts Uniforms
Choosing the right backing is just as important as choosing the patch style.
Sew On Patches
Sew-on patches are the most secure option for gi uniforms. Once stitched in place, they remain firm through heavy training and repeated washing.
This is the preferred choice for:
- Karate uniforms
- Judo gis
- Traditional martial arts schools
Iron On Backing
Iron-on patches are quick to apply. They are often used for casual wear, club hoodies and training tops. For heavy contact sports, we usually recommend stitching around the edges for extra strength.
Velcro Hook and Loop Patches
Velcro patches are ideal for clubs that want removable badges. Many MMA gyms and BJJ academies use hook and loop backing for flexibility.
They allow members to:
- Swap patches easily
- Remove badges for competition compliance
- Change rank patches when promoted
We provide both hook and loop sides if required.
Customisation Options for Your Club Patch
Every martial arts club has its own identity. That is why we offer full customisation.
- Round, shield, rectangular or fully custom shapes
- Standard or laser cut borders
- Merrowed edge stitching
- Metallic thread highlights
- 2D or 3D embroidery
- Custom sizes for back, chest or sleeve placement
Whether you need a bold academy crest or a small grading badge, we tailor the patch to your design and uniform requirements.
Custom Patches for Every Martial Art
Different disciplines have different traditions, uniform rules and competition standards. We supply custom martial arts patches tailored to each style so your badge looks right and meets expectations.
Karate Club Patches
Karate dojos often prefer clean, bold designs with strong borders. Traditional embroidered karate patches are usually placed on the chest or sleeve of the gi.
Common requests include:
- Dojo crest with Japanese kanji
- Association logo patches
- Instructor rank badges
- National flag patches for competitions
We ensure thread colours stay sharp against white cotton gis and maintain clarity after repeated washing.
Judo Dojo Badges
Judo uniforms go through intense gripping and throwing. That means your judo club patch must be securely stitched and made with durable thread.
Many UK judo clubs order:
- Large back patches for competition
- Sleeve badges with club name
- Rank identification patches
- British Judo themed colours
Our sew on backing is especially popular for judo gis because it holds firm during groundwork and throws.
Taekwondo Uniform Patches
Taekwondo schools often use bright colours and bold lettering. We produce embroidered and woven taekwondo patches suitable for doboks and club tracksuits.
Popular options include:
- Kukkiwon style patches
- School logo badges
- Instructor identification patches
- Grading level patches
Clear lettering and sharp borders are important for this style, and woven patches can help when fine detail is required.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Patches
BJJ patches are a major part of academy identity. From large back patches to shoulder badges, your branding matters both in training and competition.
We supply:
- Academy logo patches
- Competition legal gi patches
- No gi training patches
- Rank bar patches
Because BJJ designs often include detailed graphics, woven or high detail embroidery is commonly chosen. Velcro patches are also popular for no gi wear and training bags.
MMA and Kickboxing Gym Patches
Modern MMA gyms often prefer bold branding with a strong visual impact. PVC patches and printed patches work well for this look.
These are commonly used on:
- Gym merchandise
- Staff uniforms
- Training gear
- Equipment bags
If your gym has a striking logo, we make sure it stands out clearly and reflects your brand identity.
