Badminton has its origins in ancient Chinese games where players aimed to keep a shuttlecock airborne without using their hands. By the 16th century, similar games had spread to England. The modern game of badminton emerged in 1873 when members of the British Army brought equipment and rules for a game called "poona" back from India. The game became popular among British high society and was formalized with an official set of rules in 1877. The document provides advice on proper grips, serves, footwork and attitude from badminton great Lee Chong Wei and the author, emphasizing discipline, perseverance and trusting one's partner.

2. Badminton’s History:

3. Ti Jian Zi
• In the 5th century BC, the people in china then
played a game called ti jian zi. A direct translation
from this word 'ti jian zi' is kicking the shuttle. As
the name suggest, the objective of the game is to
keep the shuttle from hitting the ground without
using hand. Whether this sport has anything to
do with the History of Badminton is up for
debate. It was however the first game that uses a
Shuttle.

5. 5 Centuries Later…

6. Battledore and Shuttlecock
• About five centuries later, a game named Battledore
and Shuttlecock was played in china, Japan, India and
Greece. This is a game where you use the Battledore (a
paddle) to hit the Shuttlecock back and forth. By the
16th century, it has become a popular game among
children in England. In Europe this game was known
as jeu de volant to them. In the 1860s, a game
named Poona was played in India. This game is much
like the Battledore and Shuttlecock but with an added
net. The British army learned this game in India and
took the equipments back to England during the 1870s.

8. • In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn
party in his country place, Badminton. A game
of Poona was played on that day and became
popular among the British society's elite. The
new party sport became known as "the
Badminton game". In 1877, the Bath
Badminton Club was formed and developed
the first official set of rules.
