BIBA Summer Camp
Blackie’s
International Baduk Academy was opened on the 31st of January, 2011
by Kim Seung-jun (Blackie) 9p and Diana Koszegi 1p. In less than two years, we had
67 students from 21 countries. The academy is open to anyone all year round; but we decided to make one camp during the summer and another camp during the winter
vacation.
We have
also learned that a lot of people are very active in teaching children for example in
Turkey, Hungary and France. It is probably the same in other countries
as well. So we would also like to help
and motivate these teachers who are spreading Baduk. Moreover it would be
nice to create
a good relationship between children from all over the world. So
we
hope, kids will also join two our BIBA camps.
