Not much is known about this Japanese colonial era martial arts hall, but it was likely situated in the vicinity of Douliu Xingqi Memorial Hall (斗六行啟記念館). In the post-war period it was destroyed to clear space for an air raid shelter, police dormitories, and other structures. Part of the foundation may remain on site and it is suspected that the komainu (狛犬) guarding the nearby Tianxing Temple (天興宮) might originate from this martial arts hall.
Warning: this location is abandoned, hazardous, or otherwise neglected and may be unsafe and even dangerous! Exercise appropriate precautions when visiting.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
