The growing popularity of Mixed Martial Arts fighting (MMA) has people all over the world taking an interest in learning the art and moves their idols perform in the ring. One aspect of martial arts that makes up the MMA style is Jiu Jitsu. Like many other martial arts forms, jiu jitsu ranks students according to a color system. MMA scholars are presented with belts upon developing key abilities and skills as well as other principle centered requirements. The belts are colored based on the specific levels the students are expected to reach.
Doubling the Reward for Successful Students To go along with these great accomplishments, Relson Gracie Academia de Jiu Jitsu,
in Hawaii, decided to present its students with color coordinated custom challenge coins along with the belts. Looking at the challenge coin design, you can see each award coin’s outer ring includes the colors of each award level. Not only did we create matching recognition coins, but also fashioned another challenge coin that includes the academia’s official logo and location. The martial arts school knew it would be a fantastic idea and
All About Coins helped the institution achieve its goal in the fastest and most cost efficient way.
Breaking the Mold and Not the Bank Mold fees are a one-time manufacturing expense included in every customer’s initial challenge coin order. However, we can utilize the same mold and implement distinctly differences to make challenge coins vary in look and feel. To highlight this ability let’s examine the Relson Gracie Academia coins once again. What is not so obvious is it that only one coin in this series used a different mold. The red and black version of the coin, because creating the alternating color pattern required a variation in the design, needed a different mold. So here we have eight different coins with only two mold fees. To the MMA academia, this was more than good news. If you are a teacher, the next time your students are due to be praised or recognized, consider personalized challenge coins. They are easy to design and can be coordinated to match an existing award program. Challenge coins are affordable. You can create several different coins and incur only one mold fee. Lastly, award coins are simply a unique and fantastic idea. Call
