This is the new accent belt presentation box.
It's strong construction, high quality gold leaf graphics and luxurious striking white satin lining adds a touch of ceremony to any belt presentation.
Now this belt was an absolute pleasure...
The graphics we recieved to copy this design from were smply stunning. The owner of the design sent us large full colour high resolution graphics along with simple line drawings of the design.
Digitising the design for embroidery was helped greatly by this.
As you can see, the result is a very striking belt.

We produced these personalised karate mitts for a customer in Ireland who went on to fight and win in them!
We can't gaurantee that you will win, but you can make sure that if you lose, you will be remembered!
Now, this belt (for Thomas, of Kun Gek Do, up there in Scotland) actually took us a couple of attempts to get right.
Not that we got the the very complex kanji wrong, no - we got the hard bit right... but we did forget the small matter of his 4 dan bars! OOPS!
Anyway, Thomas now has his belt (complete with dan bars) and we just couldn't resist putting this one in the gallery.

This suit bag was produced for a Welsh customer who wanted to ensure that their club members suit bags didn't go 'walk about' at competitions.
No danger of anyone mistakenly picking one of these up huh?
Jason's tiger design is such a stunning piece of work, it just had to be in the gallery!
The design is applied using a specialist ink process to actually dye the fabric of the jacket. It can be washed, dried and ironed over without damage.
Jason has since kitted his whole club out with these jackets, and has had the design scaled down for use on T-shirts.

Badges are easy, however a badge with full colour and shading requires a different approach.
NTX Schools badge combines 2 processes; Full colour print onto fabric and embroidery to add the text.
The badge is then applied directly to the suit.
A karate-kid exclusive, designed and developed in response to our customers requests for something 'special'.
The exclusive design has been extended to include Wado Ryu and Shukokai designs.
A Gojo Ryu design is in the pipeline!!
