FAQ ## How to choose the right _Taipei Judo_? 01 ### Which venue offers beginner-specific classes?+ 02 ### Which experience class costs under $300?+ 03 ### Which venue focuses primarily on judo classes?+ 04 ### Which venue focuses on jiu-jitsu classes?+ 05 ### Which venues have fixed class schedules?+ 01 ## Daan Judo Hall 大安柔道館 New Guest Offer PLATE 01–03 ### 大安柔道館 About the Venue Introduction Daan Judo Hall, originally located within Xinyi Junior High School, has temporarily moved its training venue to Liuhe Budo Hall in Zhongxiao Xinsheng due to the pandemic. The judo hall is situated on the second basement floor of a residential apartment building. The venue is brightly lit, and all equipment, including punching bags, is neatly arranged. It features two restrooms for changing and simple lockers for storage. The classroom is divided into an academic martial arts teaching area and the padded mat area used for classes. The clean mats, paired with large L-shaped mirrors, allow students to clearly observe their own movements during class. Classes primarily focus on Taipei Judo instruction and grappling. Students can choose to specialize in judo, grappling, or take both. If opting for the judo instruction course, students can order a gi directly from the coach. ### 大安柔道館 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Taipei Judo: Emphasizing the Spirit of Judo REVIEWED BY [Odelia](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Odelia/) Before the class at Daan Judo Hall, the instructor asked Odelia if she had any prior martial arts experience, then had her warm up with the other students to assess her mobility. There were about 10 students in the class, and each looked like a seasoned veteran. After the warm-up, the other students began sparring on their own, while the instructor provided one-on-one coaching to Odelia. The instructor first taught several different basic judo moves and then tried sparring with Odelia using various technical combinations. When she made a mistake, he offered reminders and explained how to correct it, helping her grasp the essence of each technique. This approach made it easier for a beginner to understand the key points of judo moves. Through this practical sparring session, Odelia not only learned judo techniques but also felt this venue's strong emphasis on the spirit of judo. Interested beginners can start with an introductory class to experience it for themselves.

Upon entering, you'll find a home-like space with no dedicated reception counter; the classroom is in the basement. The venue has only one classroom. In addition to the practice mats and mirrors, the classroom is equipped with weapons, dumbbells, kettlebells, and other fitness training gear, and it includes changing rooms and showers. Currently, Yoseikan Budo offers classes only three evenings a week. Unlike other Taipei Judo venues, each class is a solid two hours, but you can leave early if needed by simply informing the coach. Following tradition, you must bow when entering and exiting the classroom to show respect for martial arts. ### 養正館武道 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Rigorous yet Fun Martial Arts Group Classes REVIEWED BY [Finale](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/finale/) Finale's experience combined combat striking with classical jujutsu. New students don't need a gi, but the instructor explains the rules for entering and exiting the mat during the first class. This not only upholds the spirit of Japanese martial arts but also helps students enter a focused state for practice through ritual. There are usually two instructors present, and the head instructor often joins students on the mat to practice with them. This student-to-teacher ratio makes for a very solid learning experience. The instructors first demonstrate techniques, then individually adjust each student's form. After several repetitions, students are divided into groups for sparring. Small games are also incorporated to train reaction time, allowing everyone to learn while having fun. There's also special physical training at the end of each month. Overall, Finale found this Taipei Judo class very engaging, but it does require ample stamina and time. It's recommended for those who already have a regular exercise routine!

After entering the campus, it takes about a two-minute walk to reach the classroom. Since there are no signs directing you to the classroom within the campus, you can ask the security guard at the main entrance for the exact location. Outside the classroom, there is a water dispenser. Inside, the venue is divided into a reception sofa area, an advanced training area, and a beginner area. There is no dedicated changing room; if you need to change, you can use the small room with lockers. The class schedule includes sessions for children, adults, and courses for both those with and without judo gis. Each class typically lasts about two hours. Before class, students are led through a warm-up together in the advanced area, and after warming up, they are divided into different practice areas based on their skill level. ### 中山柔道館 Mystery Shopper's Take Review #Graded Instruction for Quick Entry-Level Learning REVIEWED BY [Odelia](https://www.twosevenths.com/en/tag/Odelia/) Upon entering the classroom, someone immediately greeted Odelia and guided her to the changing area. After she changed, the head coach explained the key learning points of Taipei Judo during a casual chat. Then, Odelia was led to warm up with other students, with a thoughtful reminder not to force any movements she couldn't do. After the warm-up, the head coach took Odelia to the beginner's area for an introductory lesson. It started with basic judo etiquette, then moved on to self-protection techniques. The coach demonstrated and explained the purpose of each protective movement before having students practice, ensuring correct form before moving to the next step. This Taipei Judo venue teaches from the ground up, making it accessible even for those with no prior martial arts experience or who rarely exercise.

If you're a complete beginner and unsure which judo venue is right for you, we recommend starting with a trial class. Getting on the mat yourself is the best way to understand each venue's teaching style and confirm if it's a good fit. Finally, remember that judo classes require a gi (uniform). If you don't own one, inquire with the venue about trial classes that don't require a gi, or ask if they offer rental services.
