Hi,
I’m currently visiting - considering coming here.
I’m looking for karate Dojo’s in Taiwan. That would be my priority in choosing a location to stay and work.
I would appreciate it if anyone can give me a number of a English speaking karate instructor or Dojo anywhere. Or direct me somewhere to look.
Thanks
Would you consider converting to Taekwondo? It is quite popular in Taiwan.
perhaps it would help if you specified where you are looking to live. and how far you are willing to travel. or are you going to choose a place to live based on the location of dojo? another possibility.
Well yes - locating the most suitable dojo is first priority and then I’ll look for a job and a place to stay. I’m unfortunately unconvertable. I would prefer a Shotokan Dojo.
I found this website yesterday but it is in Chinese. karate.com.tw/JaJa/kr.html
The first section are all listings for Taipei city, here a rough translation (or guessing) to indicate the area:
Roosevelt Road, Guting Elementary School
Minsheng East Road
Yangming something
Taida (Taida University?)
Neihu High school, Wende Rd.
Songshan, Jiankang Rd.
Beitou, Mingde Rd.
Tianmu, Zhongshan North Rd. Sect. 7
Dadong (“Tatung”) area
Shilin
Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall
Linsen North Rd.
Xinhai road Sect. 1
No idea about the next three (JKA and SKIF).
You can also click on this link from the same site and give them a call.
Thanks, I’ll give those numbers a try tomorrow.
