Running BACKWARD and FORWARD on the BADMINTON Court- How to run efficiently on the court

Running backward and forward on the badminton court needs to be done efficiently so that you can cover both the front and the back and avoid injury while doing so. Coach Kennie Asuncion gives some tips on how run properly on the court.

Mam, I started playing badminton only after my 30's. Your videos are the only thing that's been guiding me the last 4 months. I have happily tried this and I am trying this with my friends. Thanks a ton !!

[@lnbt1]

Hi Coach Kennie, nice to see you on your video. We met in Thailand at the Bahn Thongyord last summer. My kids are coach Toby's students. Hope you remember! :-) Can you explain / show the running backward and forward across from right corner to the left (back) corner, with the overhead forehand. My backhand is strong and i have a very bad habit of using it all the time. However, after a few strong clear, it get very tired and lost the power to clear. Recently, when play with the advance opponents, they started to notice that. So, I tried to rotate to an overhead forehand instead, but my back-step to the far-left is horrible and not fast enough. Often, when i ran back step across the court, i would mis-stepping (twist an ankle) and fail. :-(

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

Hello!!! And yes i remember meeting you!! I am glad to hear that though the backhand has been your habit you are still trying to change it. From the front, after you hit a forehand shot, you normally hop back 1 step with the same dominant leg in front in case another front shot comes then you’re still there but when the shuttle is already to the back on the left you turn diagonally with dominant hand and leg to the back and skip your way to the area. Do not go criss crossing your leg as you can trip and fall. (I hope i am able to explain it clearly) but will note down to make a video on it.😁🏸😁🏸 btw, have your kids continued on with badminton? 🏸🏸

[@viswanathanseshadri1047]

👍 Nice

[@winter_light]

Contrary to many people, moving forward was very difficult for me. Looks like I misunderstood the front court footwork with running. I was always using steps to move forward and was failing to reach on time. This makes it clear. Also, the last advice to keep your feet light is underrated. Keeping the feet light will make you more mobile and prevent injuries. Thanks a lot Kennie.

Thanks a lot coach! Very usefull tips as always! Need to practice this drill. :) I have a question. What footwork to be used when you are on frontcourt backhand corner and then your going to the other corner, backcourt forehand corner and then vice versa this time, frontcourt forehand then going to backcourt backhand corner? I mean you are moving a diagonal. How to do the footwork on that scenario? Thank you!

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

Thank you for your comment. Re. your question about the front backhand corner, the video of v front should teach you the footwork in front. 🏸😁

[@PinoyGuitarTutorials]

Sorry for my bad english. I mean, from frontcourt to backcourt moving backwards. I mean diagonally not straight like you did in the video. Thanks. :)

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

Move back the same way even if its diagonal. Like ur skipping moving back to where the shuttle is...

Please provide tips regarding covering full court i.e front court and back courts. in some videos for right hand player left is to be moved first covering front left court where as in some video it is jus reverse i.e.right left is to be used first. very confusing. please provide correct one

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

You can check this video out for while court: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYvIhYCqeNyhmqc As for specific areas of footwork: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioendmR8fsZ5o5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX3PgmN5iqp8g6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp6lfoSYdrirkLs kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYOodmxup5VkhJo All footworks have been taught consistently in videos unless it is misunderstood. There are options on given situations that might make it look different but the above basics are consistent in every video. For left handed players, you will have to do the opposite in terms of footwork but here’s a video u can chek out for left handed players: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKnNp3mqabaLpck

What is the advantage of moving sideways instead of backrun. For forward it's running movement and for backward why not backrun. Please explain madam is there any specific advantage with sideway back movement.

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

Backrun plain and simple strains your lower back. Imagine playing the entire game where you keep bending your upper body backwards... the sideways movement distributes your weight and lessens the strain😁🏸
