About Dan Rank Certificates Certificates
The Dan ranking system is the universal language of advanced martial arts achievement. Used across Karate, Judo, Taekwondo, Aikido, Jujitsu, Kendo, and many other traditional disciplines, Dan grades mark the journey from first-degree black belt through to the highest levels of mastery. The Japanese names tell the story: Shodan (1st Dan) is the beginning of mastery, Nidan (2nd Dan) and Sandan (3rd Dan) build teaching-level competence, while Yondan (4th Dan) and Godan (5th Dan) carry the Renshi or Shihan title. Rokudan (6th Dan) and Nanadan (7th Dan) are awarded the revered Kyoshi title, and Hachidan (8th Dan) through Judan (10th Dan) carry the lifetime honour of Hanshi or Meijin. Our Dan rank certificate templates cover the full progression — each with landscape and portrait orientations — so you can issue a certificate that truly reflects the significance of the rank awarded. Every template is editable online in under a minute: add the student's name, dan grade, discipline, instructor, and dojo, then download a professional 300 DPI print-ready PDF, PNG, or JPG instantly.

ceremonial, motivational, and dojo presentation purposes.

We have dedicated templates for Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Purple, Brown, and Black Belt in Karate, plus Dan rank certificates from 1st Dan (Shodan) to 10th Dan (Judan) for any traditional martial art.

We offer individual Dan rank certificates for every rank from 1st Dan (Shodan) through 10th Dan (Judan), in both landscape and portrait orientations. Each template includes the Japanese rank name, space for instructor and student signatures, and traditional dojo styling. The 1st–5th Dan templates default to Renshi/Shihan title lines, and 6th–10th Dan templates default to Kyoshi/Hanshi.
Yes. We have multiple Taekwondo Black Belt templates as well as a portrait-format Tae Kwon Do variant and a Liberty Taekwondo Academy-styled template.

Absolutely. We cover Karate, Taekwondo, Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Jujitsu, Aikido, Hapkido, Kendo, Kung Fu (Shaolin & Shin Ji), Ninjitsu/Ninjutsu, Kickboxing, and general Martial Arts certificates. Many templates use generic "belt rank" language so they adapt to any style. You can also use a general Martial Arts Award Certificate and type in the specific discipline.
Our landscape templates are sized at 11" × 8.5" (US Letter, landscape), and our portrait templates are 8.5" × 11" (US Letter, portrait). They also print cleanly on A4 with minimal cropping (just a few millimetres on the long edge). For best results, select "fit to page" or "scale to fit" in your printer dialog. All files are 300 DPI so they look sharp at any standard certificate size.
After downloading you receive PDF, PNG, and JPG files — all at 300 DPI, watermark-free, and ready to print or share digitally. The PDF is ideal for professional printing on cardstock or parchment. The PNG and JPG work perfectly for digital display, email sharing, or social media posting. SVG is also available for subscribers who need a fully scalable vector file.
Yes. With our Verify URL add-on, each certificate gets a unique QR code that links to a hosted verification page. This lets anyone scan the certificate and confirm it is genuine — useful for grading authorities, insurance records, or tournament credentials. The QR add-on is available on the download options page after editing your template.
In the Lite Editor, type your dojo name and instructor name directly into the text fields on the certificate. To add a logo, click the image upload icon and select your logo file (PNG with transparent background works best). For a digital signature, upload a signature image file or leave a signature line for hand-signing after printing. All uploads are private and not shared.
Yes — once you have edited a template, you can change the student's name and re-download for the next student. With an Issuer or Academy Pro subscription, you can re-issue any purchased template an unlimited number of times to different recipients.

The templates include pre-set decorative borders and styling inspired by traditional East Asian design. If you need specific kanji, Chinese characters, or calligraphy text added, use the Full Editor (accessible after purchase) which supports custom font uploads and text layers. Alternatively, our professional customisation service can add hand-styled calligraphy for a small fee.
