About us

Welcome to Simple Baduk, a Go learning platform built for adults. Most Go content online is too theoretical, too technical, or too vague to apply in real games. Many platforms feature strong players, but playing well is not the same as teaching well. Here’s what makes Simple Baduk special. And here is some extra text to test the ellipsis effect, ensuring that when the content exceeds the limit, it will be truncated with three dots.

Ongoing Support

Stay on track with monthly updates and reviews. As your skills improve, your learning plan grows with you.

"I was stuck at the 2k for almost a year. After two months here, I finally pushed through. Understanding why moves work instead of memorizing patterns made all the difference."

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services.

The Kyu Dan System is ideal for players from complete beginners to intermediate players. If you’re ready to take your study seriously, we’re here to guide you.

We begin by reviewing several of your games to identify patterns and areas to improve. Based on that, we craft a roadmap that connects directly to specific lessons.

We add 4 new lessons every month, ensuring the curriculum stays fresh and aligned with your progress.

No, it’s a structured learning experience. Lessons include reviews, assignments, and feedback loops so you can actively learn and apply concepts.

A TRAP opener is a structured opening system designed to create difficult decisions for your opponent early in the game. It’s not a trick play or cheap tactic, it sets up positions where your opponent either falls into a losing sequence or is forced to navigate a much harder game. Even if the trap doesn’t trigger, you’re left with a strong, stable position that follows solid principles. It’s a low-risk, high-reward way to take control from move one.

As a member, you’ll have access to our private Discord community where you can ask questions at any time, get personal guidance, and connect with others learning the same system.
