European Yunguseng Dojang

This is the homepage of the Yunguseng Dojang. 연구생 Yunguseng or also written Yeongusaeng is the korean term for what most of us know by the japanese term Insei. Dojang (Dojo) means ‘special academy’ where people study Go seriously.
The system is called Yunguseng for two reasons:
1. It's based on the real Korean Yunguseng system. 2. We study Go as seriously as the Korean Yunguseng.

The 40th season has started!

Invitation

I always believed that there is the best way to become stronger at Baduk (Go). When I was Yunguseng (Korean-insei), I went to a professional Baduk Dojang (Academy) every day from 9 am to 10 pm. And on weekends, there was a Yunguseng league. So I had no time to think about something else... I know you can't spend that much time like this because Baduk might not be your only hobby. I remember what I did every half-day: I played, got reviewed, and studied new skills. It's nothing special, you could have guessed it already. Those three things were the reason how I got to 8 dan level.

(1) Get your game analyzed
It's the most important thing if you want to become stronger. Personally, I believe that this is the most effective way to learn Baduk. If you don't find your mistakes, you'll keep playing the same mistakes over and over again. There should be someone who can judge your move and correct it in a better way.
All your Yunguseng league games will be reviewed by In-seong and all recorded.

(2) Lectures
After you've corrected your mistakes, you should study new skills. Without studying new skills, you would stand in the same place.

(3) System
When I correct people's mistakes, usually, they immediately understand. It seems they definitely realize their mistake. But unfortunately, they keep playing similar mistakes again.
I know why. It's because they didn't take the time to get used to that move or deepen their intuition. When you learn a new move or theory, you should have time to apply it to your Go. If you miss this time, it will vanish.
This Yunguseng system will make you keep playing well-concentrated games and will give you the time to apply the new theories to your own Go world!

So I hope you don't miss this opportunity to get a real benefit and increase your Go strength!
