The Korea USA Tae Kwon Do Dual Flag Embroidered Patch is a powerful symbol of heritage, discipline, and international unity within the martial arts community. This meticulously crafted patch features a split design: the left side showcases the Taegeukgi, the national flag of South Korea, with its iconic red and blue taegeuk circle and four black trigrams, representing the origin of Tae Kwon Do. The right side displays the Stars and Stripes of the United States flag, representing the widespread practice and adaptation of the art form in America.
Beneath the flags, a bold blue banner runs across the bottom, featuring the words "TAE KWON DO" in large, capitalized yellow letters. The entire design is framed by a vibrant yellow merrow border, which not only adds a polished, finished look but also provides extra durability to the edges, preventing fraying over time.
Measuring 3.75 inches in width and 3 inches in height, this patch is substantial enough to be a focal point on any garment without being overwhelming. The high-density embroidery ensures that every detail, from the stars on the US flag to the trigrams on the Korean flag, is sharp and legible. The colors are vivid and resistant to fading, ensuring the patch remains vibrant even after repeated washing and wear.
Equipped with a high-quality iron-on backing, this patch offers a hassle-free application method. Simply place it on your desired fabric, cover it with a thin cloth, and apply heat with a standard household iron. For added security, especially on items that will undergo rigorous activity like sparring or training, we recommend stitching around the edges after ironing.
Product Advantages
- Symbolic Design: The dual-flag motif perfectly captures the essence of Tae Kwon Do as a Korean art form with a massive global following, particularly in the US. It represents the bridge between tradition and modern adaptation.
- Premium Embroidery Quality: Unlike printed patches, this item uses high-quality thread embroidery. This technique provides a textured, 3D appearance that looks professional and prestigious. The stitching is tight and durable, capable of withstanding the rigors of martial arts training.
- Durable Merrow Border: The yellow merrow edge is not just decorative; it is a functional element that reinforces the patch's perimeter. This prevents the fabric from unraveling and gives the patch a clean, "official" look that is standard for military and organizational insignia.
- Easy Iron-On Application: The heat-seal backing allows for quick customization. You don't need to be an expert at sewing to attach this patch. It adheres firmly to cotton, polyester, and blends, making it versatile for various uniforms and casual wear.
- Versatile Size: At 3.75" x 3", the dimensions are optimized for visibility. It fits perfectly on the upper arm of a dobok (uniform), the back of a training jacket, or the front of a gym bag.
- Vibrant Color Retention: The threads used are colorfast, meaning the red, blue, white, and yellow tones will stay bright and won't bleed into each other during washing.
