Kata and kumite both award medals

Which means a karateka often comes home from one competition with two, and that's before gradings and club championships enter the picture. Over the years it accumulates quietly until someone counts.

Cut from stainless steel with the karateka silhouette, in four widths. Worth noting that martial arts collections build over a decade rather than a season, so the size you need is the one that still has room in five years.

Belts are the other half of a karateka's history and they don't hang here — but the medals do, and a wall with fifteen years of competition on it makes the point about persistence better than a belt rack does.

This medal hanger is produced in the widths below. If you are buying it as a gift, size on the collection they already have rather than on what looks right on the wall.

Size & capacity

Not sure which size?

Martial arts collections build over a decade, not a season. Buy for the tenth year.

Made from one sheet, not assembled from parts

The medal holder is laser-cut from a single piece of AISI 304 stainless steel, 2.5-3 mm thick depending on the width. Nothing welded on, nothing to come loose.

Medals hang on a continuous rail rather than individual hooks, so you're limited by the width of the bar and nothing else.

Mounting

Everything is in the box: stainless standoffs, screws, wall plugs and a paper template. Mark through the template, drill, done — about ten minutes.

Running out of room

Buy a second and line it up directly beneath or beside this one — the proportions are designed so a pair looks intentional. The widest version holds up to 110 medals across three rails.

Getting it to you

This medal holder is made to order in the EU and on its way within 3–5 working days, with fourteen days to send it back if it isn't right.
