Go Training Schools for Amateur Players

Post by CaiGengYang »

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone here knew of any Go training schools for amateurs who want to train intensively like an insei, not necessarily to turn pro but to improve and reach a high dan amateur rank. I know of one called BIBA, but i'm not sure how intensive the training is. Are there any others ? Thanks ..

I was there for like a week lol, then had to leave due to some family matters. It was a bit difficult for me because language wise , I had some difficulty understanding the coach's English and I dont speak Korean. Hence , I am trying to see if I can find a dojo maybe in China, where I can understand the language.

I dont think those Goschools have big restrictions,you shouldnt be too weak(if you are a dan players is enough,or high kyu) i think thats enough,maybe Geyuhongs Goschool in Beijing?its seems ratger affordable and very intense.

Dont they have age restrictions ? Geyuhong probably only takes youngsters. I am 36 years old already haha ...
