Kyu Dan System
A practical system for players who want to improve fast and win more.
Introducing the Kyu Dan System
The Kyu Dan System is a step-by-step training program built for casual players who want to improve without stress or confusion.
You don’t need to memorize AI moves or grind problems for hours—you just need a clear path. This system teaches you how to build better shapes, attack with confidence, and understand what’s actually happening in your games.
Everything is broken down into simple, practical lessons you can apply right away—even if you’re short on study time. If you're a kyu player who wants to finally feel in control and start winning more, this is for you.
How It Works
We’ve taken everything that actually helps kyu players improve—and built it into one clear, focused system.
Start with the core courses
Learn essential josekis, how to handle invasions, how to use thickness, and how to judge positions with confidence—all broken down simply so you don’t feel overwhelmed.Master one principle at a time
Each week, you’ll get a relatively short, focused lecture teaching one of the 48 core principles that shape strong early and middle game—along with real examples and problem sets to help it stick.Add powerful TRAP openers to your toolkit
You’ll also learn a new trap-based opening system. If it works, the game becomes easy. If it doesn’t, you still have a strong position backed by your growing understanding of the game.Ask questions and connect with others
Inside our private Discord, you can ask questions anytime, get feedback from the community, and match up with other members to practice what you’ve learned.
No pressure. No memorization. Just steady progress—one idea at a time.
What’s included?

FAQs
-
This membership is designed for both DDK and SDK players. The foundational courses—like Josekis, Estimation, Thickness, and Opening Strategy—will help DDK players reach solid SDK level. The Siren Style is built specifically for SDK players aiming to reach dan level as efficiently as possible.
-
If you don’t know the principles, you’ll often find yourself not knowing what to do during a game. And when you’re unsure, you’re far more likely to make a bad move that throws away your lead—or the entire game. Learning principles gives you direction. You’ll know what matters, what to ignore, and how to stay in control, even when the position gets complicated. It’s the difference between playing reactively and playing with purpose.
-
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—instead, 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.
-
Not at all. The content is structured so you can go step by step. Just follow the weekly lectures and build your foundation with the included courses—no need to rush or memorize everything.
-
Not necessarily. Even if you’re SDK, revisiting the seemingly basic contents can help patch gaps and give you a stronger base before diving deep into Siren Style tactics.
-
