The game has just started, you played the first corner sequence and something clearly went wrong. Sounds familiar? Those are issues with playing the initial corner variations — joseki.
In this course you will learn the main simple joseki patterns and understand what they are made of. How not to screw things up if your opponent chooses a difficult variation and how to make it complicated if necessary. The joseki will no longer seem like scary sharp-toothed monsters, more like a set of useful tools. What’s left now is to choose a suitable one at the right moment.
Suitable for: 15–7k who are already familiar with the basic opening principles.

great course 🙂
Joseki. thats what you get
Loved it
While not particularly suited for beginners like myself, it remains very interesting to watch. It provides a good understanding of the logic behind josekis.
A lot of good technical knowledge for intermediate players
this is definitely a course I'll will come back to, the basic Joseki shapes are very useful and it's really important to understand the sequences to play and how to punish your opponent if he makes a mistake!
Absolutely perfect for DDK and SDK players. The course hammers down a set of hand picked joseki and teaches the rational behind the moves and some common mistakes / punishments. I did win a couple of games while doing this course as I was able to implement the exact punishments. The interactive and chill approach makes this pure gold.
Hard to keep track of variations so incredibly helpful.
useful to understand the rationale behind the moves. The basic joseki's are covered and you have some tools to judge shape and direction of play, as in most games things get off track pretty quickly
This is certainly the most difficult course so far. Trying to imprint in my brain even the limited number of Joseki covered is quite the challenge. Being able to step forwards and backwards through the quiz moves and variations is a great help. I can see myself revisiting this course often.
Very useful! It gives me a lot more confidence to know that I am prepared for many of these sequences. I also thought that the professional games were a nice touch. The quizzes were particularly strong in this course; I repeated them several times to drill them into my memory.
This course is a crucial next step for new players who have acquired the basics. Josekis are an integral aspect of the game that should not be overlooked. This course provides you with the essential tools and knowledge to embark on your journey as a competent player, enabling you to progress further based on your own curiosity and determination.
More than 2 hours of Josekis is unfortunately too much to process for me at once.
This is a great course though it is the hardest course I've done so far. I realised before taking the course that memorising josekis in a rote manner isn't the most productive Go discipline as it doesn't prepare you for opponents going off track. There are some "what if" quiz scenerios which are useful. I find doing a quiz and then playing out variations post joseki is useful.
Good course for starting out... I d say 10k - 15k...
Great course! I really like the structture of the course, the mixture of video explanations and tests. It is a very entertaining way to learn. The course covers basic joseki of the most often played corner stones and deals with the modernization AI brought to them. I really enjoyed the course.
I can honestly say this is the course i hate the most lol, I get to work on something i struggle immensely with with no real pressure. Really appreciate the course!
In the 1970s I regularly took 9 stones from a 1q friend. While I learned a lot I never addressed Joseki in any way. Now after this course I realise what I have been missing. Particularly the way to play in the corners with gote/sente outcomes. I have never tried to read books, but these videos are easy to understand. Having the tests along the way is the cherry on the cake!
Great course, second visit, did most of the Skill Tree joseki problems in between, that helps even more, still I will surely have to pass here again to fully grasp it 🙂
I have learned a lot and there is still so much to learn.
