Marcin
Very good Go/Baduk school with European pro players and strict top amateurs. Good learning opportunity for those looking to improve their game.
Jan
Great value and quality
Great value for the money. It's the go-school that gives you the most high-level reviews for the price. It is also very easy to interact with the teachers during the reviews, and each game gets 30 minutes of reviewing time which is more than some other schools.
