Badminton's origin dates back thousands of years where in its original form it was a sport played in ancient Greece, Egypt, India and China. It was originally a child's game called 'battledore & shuttlecock' in which two players hit a feathered shuttlecock (also referred to as a 'birdy') back and forth with small racquets. British army officers returning from India later introduced badminton in 18th century England.

"In order to achieve victory you must place yourself in your opponent's skin. If you don't understand yourself, you will lose one hundred percent of the time. If you understand yourself, you will win fifty percent of the time. If you understand yourself and your opponent, you will win one hundred percent of the time." - Tsutomu Oshima
