Baduk Dojangs/Schools in Korea??

Post by Alakazam »

Hi guys.

I've heard a lot about different GO schools in Korea. I studied in King's Baduk Education Center, a Baduk school for foreigners, for 5 months. I know about IBA, yaddah yaddah, but now what I wish to inquire about are Dojangs. My good friend in Korea who works for Oro, told me that she looked into it a bit for me, and said that including accomodations, meals and tuition, many DOjangs are around $700 a month, and some are less, more like $500 because of discount for foreigners.

If anyone has detailed information about any Dojangs in Korea (Obviously I'm only interested in strong, effective ones that are hardcore, but probably most or all are like that).

Please tell me!

I remember Alexandra Urban and Javier visited a dojang, maybe you can get some information from them?

How was King's Baduk Education Center? Is it not hardcore? Their schedule seems quite intense.

Depends on your definition, I guess. Towards the end(it closed down in february or so, reopened in hungary last month) it got a bit more relaxed, I think.

We got up before 8(well, some people got up before 10 and rushed to the tests.. ;) ), walked to the school for breakfast and then free time 'till 9. Then 1 hour of studies, usually preparing for the "chapter test" or the "speed test". 10 to 12 then was those 2 tests and game reviews of league games. 12 to 13 lunch/break, 13 to 18 studying + 2 league games. 18 to 19 dinner/break, 19-> was either game reviews or free time.

I think it was nice. Usually we fit in other stuff between the 13-18 timeslot as well, like footvolleyball. I didn't participate, but I watched from the sidelines :)
