Daan Judo Hall, temporarily relocated to Liuhe Martial Arts Hall near Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station, offers a dual choice of judo and grappling for students seeking professional training venues for Taipei Judo. Originally situated at Xinyi Junior High School, the venue temporarily moved to its current location due to the pandemic, continuing to provide martial arts instruction.

The training area is located on the second basement floor of a community apartment building, featuring a bright interior and neatly arranged equipment. Two restrooms are available for changing, along with simple lockers for student convenience.

The classroom is primarily divided into an academic teaching area and a padded practice zone. The padded area includes a large L-shaped mirror, allowing students to clearly observe their judo techniques during class and make immediate adjustments to their movements.

The curriculum focuses on judo instruction and grappling, allowing students to specialize in one or both disciplines based on their interests. For those choosing judo classes, specialized uniforms can be ordered directly from the instructor.

Zhongshan Judo Hall, located within the Datong High School campus, is a Taipei Judo training venue operated in partnership with the Taipei Judo Promotion Association. Since there are no signs for the hall, first-time visitors should ask the security guard at the school gate for directions; it's about a 2-minute walk after entering the campus.

The interior space is divided into a reception sofa area, a beginner zone, and an advanced zone. The group warm-up before class takes place in the advanced zone, after which students are separated into their respective zones based on skill level to ensure teaching quality.

Regarding facilities, there's a water dispenser outside the classroom. While there isn't a dedicated changing room inside the hall, a small room with lockers is available for students to change.

The curriculum includes both children's and adult classes, with separate practice times for those with and without judogi (judo uniforms). Each class runs for approximately 2 hours, providing ample learning time.

Yoseikan Budo, located near Mingde MRT Station, stands out among Taipei Judo venues for its comprehensive martial arts offerings and robust two-hour single classes. The venue's entrance has a home-like design, without a dedicated reception counter, giving it a simple, unpretentious atmosphere.

The main training area at Yoseikan Budo is a single classroom in the basement. The room is equipped with practice mats and large mirrors, alongside an array of weapons and fitness equipment like dumbbells and kettlebells. The venue also provides changing rooms and showers for students to use after class.

Regarding class schedules, the venue currently offers classes only on three specific evenings each week. Unlike other Taipei Judo venues, each class here is a solid two hours long; however, students who need to leave early can do so with prior notice to the instructor, allowing for some flexibility.

Out of respect for martial arts, the venue has clearly defined classroom etiquette that all students must follow. All students are required to bow towards the inside of the classroom when entering and exiting, a ritual symbolizing reverence for the martial art and the training space.
