【History】
In the Japanese colonial era in Taiwan, there was no official prison guard training hall. All penitentiary managements were supervised by the county government. The assignments of police officers and prison guards were not officially separated until 1896. In order to meet the demand of martial arts training, the appropriate and comfortable places for training were needed. Therefore, martial art training sites were authorized to be established. |
