Welcome to Badminton-Videos.com, we hope to bring you all sorts of badminton videos from across the Internet, from matches and major International tournaments (Olympics, World Championships, All England, China Open, Danish Open etc.), coaching and badminton technique videos, players interviews to documentaries.

Sorry for not posting videos up for a while but here's a pretty good video of the Chinese national team practicing their jump smashes. The second person in red is Lin Dan. Try spotting the other team players.

Here are a couple of short badminton videos of Taufik Hidayat (Indonesia) and Lee Choong Wei (Malaysia) knocking up in the Swiss Open.

I think this is in the Malaysian Open, where Lee Yong Dae and Lee Hyo Jung (Korea) are seen warming up.

This is not a badminton video but it's a pretty good video showing various speed training drills. Well worth a watch.

Here are a few videos of some fun games in the Japan Open between three Danish players and three Malaysian players. Matias Boe, Joachim Fischer-Nielsen, Jonas Rasmussen, Koo Kien Keat, Tan Boon Heong and Mohd Fairuzizuan Tazari.

This is a pretty good video if Lin Dan sparring against I think Xia Xuanze (it's a little too blurred to tell but the body shape and his posture suggest it's him), and then sparring against Bao Chunlai. Last I heard, Xia Xuanze is still doing a lot of work with the Chinese singles team and quite a bit of work with Lin Dan (news from his website, helps if you can read Chinese), it looks like he's moving Lin Dan around the court and giving him quite a hard time.

I know this is not a video but I think it's worth having it here. Although this page is in Japanese but the pictures are very clear. I made quite a few of these a few years ago and it's very easy!

How to make a mini shuttlecock keyring >>>

This is quite a laugh, from a Korean TV comedy show. It is in Korean but I don't think you need to know Korean to understand what's going on. It shows the Korean legend Kim Dong Moon smashes a shuttlecock into a piece of wood, and then he serves into a shuttlecock tube. Also, Beijing Olympic gold medalist in Mixed Doubles, Lee Yong Dae smashes a watermelon with a shuttlecock.

For some reason, I suddenly got very busy and not had time to update but I'm back. This is quite an interesting video, it shows how a modern badminton racket is made, some explanations as to how string tension can affect performance and the grading of shuttlecocks.

Sorry I haven't posted for a few days, my car broke and I have been busy buying a new car! Anyway, this is another privately filmed video if Wong Mew Choo training at MBA Punching in Malaysia. This is three weeks before the Beijing Olympics. Wong Mew Choo eventually reached the quarter-finals and was defeated by Lu Lan (China). She is perhaps better known for her endurance and stamina because apparently she trains alongside male players.

This has to be one of my most memorable matches, this is a snippet of the 2hr4min epic (I have included links to more snippets below). Rasmussen's patient strategy was designed to move and work Sun Jun around the court, but it didn't pay immediate dividends as the gritty Chinese dug in and snatched the first game 17-16. Rasmussen again moved and pushed Sun Jun around the court in the second, but again Sun would not give in and built up an imposing 13-6 lead in the second game. Thinking he had weathered the storm, Sun invested all his energy to kill off the match, but Rasmussen, riding the wave of crowd support, clawed back and took the second 13-18. Already a classic, the match took a controversial turn. Sun had looked in physical trouble during the five minute interval, and as his muscles began to cramp in the third game he was allowed long recovery periods by the umpire to the surprise of the crowd. With nothing to lose, the injured Sun looked for desperate early kills, and found Rasmussen unable to adapt to this changing scenario. Rasmussen cleared his head, changed his plan, and sealed the 198 rally-long match 10-15 in the third.

This is a good little documentary about a town in China where all the village women and children string racket for a bit of extra income. The sight of all the women on the street stringing rackets is quite surreal.

I think Lee Choong Wei has one of the best singles defence in the World. I just wish he could put up a better fight when he played against Lin Dan in the Olympics (2008) Final. However, he seems to have a psycological block against Lin Dan historically (this is only my personal opinion btw).

The Malaysian team having a training during the World Championship in Kuala Lumpur. Looks like Rexy Mainaky in the Red T-Shirt.

Lee Jae Bok has a worldwide reputation as a badminton coach. He was one of the top players in the world; he was the Korean Singles (1980), Doubles (1979) and Mixed Doubles Champion (1981). In terms of his coaching career, he was the National Coach for Korea and England. I had the fortune of meeting the big boss himself and he increased the power of my smash several folds in just 5 minutes! This video is only the tip of the iceberg!

Peter Rasmussen is pretty awesome, he's a former World Champion and European Champion. I remember watching the World Championship Finals in 1997 (in Glasgow I think) between Peter Rasmussen and Sun Jun, it was a mammoth marathon between the two and I think it ended with Sun Jun having a cramp but still went on. Apparently, Peter claims that the reason why he was so successful on the badminton court was because of his studies of Bushido, an ancient Japanese philosophy and his mentor, Miyamoto Musashi, a great samurai. Rasmussen had to face the fact of losing before he can entertain the thought of winning. Peter proved that his philosophy of playing badminton was very successful. After finding Bushido and practicing it, Peter went on a 6 month winning streak that culminated tournaments such as the Japan Open, the Nordic Championship, the Danish Championship and finally the World Championships ... anyway, this video shows Peter demonstrating the jump smash, his technique of using the momentum of the arms works very well.

This is possibly one of the best badminton related videos I've seen. This is a documentary about both her sport life and private life. This is quite an incredible story, she's been around for years (I still remember her match against Mia Audina in the 1994 Uber Cup) but Zhang's breakthrough was in the 2003 World Championships, where she stormed into the final and defeated Gong Ruina. She then carried on to win numerous titles and has just won Gold in the 2008 Olympics.
