Baduk for Children

I always grew up with my dad going to baduk clubs and watching the men in the family play baduk with each other. Similar to chess, baduk is a game of intellectual and analytical skills. Koreans say it is great for one's mind and discipline. It is far more popular than Chess in countries of Japan, China and Korea. There are many baduk schools in Korea that teach children and you can even find them in the US.

Baduk is also known as "Go." More information can also be found at American Go Association
