BADMINTON FOOTWORK EXERCISES- Improve your footwork with drills you can do anywhere

If you want to improve your footwork even when you are not on the badminton court, there are some exercises you can do at home or almost anywhere that can help you achieve this. Practising these drills can help you move more efficiently when you are actually on the court, and can help you develop good habits. In this video, Coach Kennie Asuncion shows you a footwork workout that can help you effectively cover your side of the court.

[@loner1239]

Hi coach Kennie, I've been playing badminton for fun and joining school sports events for almost 5 years. Now, I enrolled for training sessions. I noticed that when doing footwork, my legs (mostly upper thigh) get tired easily and they lose strength in the middle of drills so I'm not able to finish a set properly. Any tips or exercises I can do so that my legs can endure and gain strength for footwork?

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

Do wall squats apart from your playing and do lunge exercises as well. Start with a few reps and a few sets then slowly progress to more when your legs feel stronger😁🏸

[@loner1239]

@@CoachKennieAsuncion Will do coach! Thank you!

[@shanayadash5313]

Hi mam...I m right hand players ..when I move to front or back court and do stepping properly then my left leg alwz drag and imbalance so my footwork is looking very poor...so suggest me how to stable my left leg when do footwork in any corner..ty

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

It is right that you should drag your non dominant leg when the dominant leg is lunging. Make sure u are not over stretched. I think based on your explanation you are doing it the right way just be conscious of the little details such as not overstretching or lacking in step. Keep practicing the footwork and you will eventually do them with ease and comfort. 😁🏸

[@suchittt]

one query, where to stand in middle, center point for all?

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

Positioning in the middle is the basic position but during the play you have to anticipate what shots your opponent loves to give to you so you can adjust. If your opponent loves to drop then your middle will move slightly to the front and if opponent loves pushing to the back, you’ll still be in the middle but maybe a step back to anticipate the shot... 😁🏸

[@mathias8231]

Hey ! I guess your footwork has improved since your comment. How did you manage to train your footwork ? Did you just repeat and drill for a couple of minutes the same movements as in the video each time you played badminton ? It might be a weird question but I just wanted to know what could be the best way to drill these out of your experience since you started practicing these regularly :)) Thanks in advance !

[@shanayadash5313]

Nice mam...I have a query mam ... I trapped alwz deceptive drop shot on front and deceptive toss on back... I cannot reach or not move to pick up the shuttle..I m very harassed..plz suggest me ty

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

When dealing with deceptive shots do not panic. It is good you’ve already acknowledged having difficulty with it. The key is to not move too fast especially when you are only anticipating the next shot. Instead “eyes on shuttle only” keep your focus on that and make sure to have quick start upon seeing the shot! 😁🏸

I haven’t experienced that kind of injury. Is it swollen? It would be best to see a doctor when you’re already tried resting it and icing it after use. Pain in our bodies shouldn’t linger too long and pain shouldn’t progress to more pain. Pls have it checked...

mam is it important to cover any side in three steps

@@CoachKennieAsuncion thankyouu🥳

[@arturkasza3176]

Kennie, elsewhere I've seen what seems to be another technique, the split step and the explosive start. It seems to be slightly different from what you are showing here. When I watch you moving around I really like the smoothness of your moves rather than explosiveness. And the split step and start seems to be shorter than the steps that you are showing here. What is your view about it? Is it a different approach or school of footwork? Is it either this or that or these things go together? Is also useful or necessary to learn?

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

That’s a very good question, whichever is more comfortable for you to use, even inter changing the split step with what i show is all good. It’s all about using what is best for you. What is comfortable for you and makes you get to the shot faster is what you should use😁🏸 i will be doing a video on split step soon😁🏸

[@ramapradeepkrishnan]

If its a drop, should I still use 2 steps both forehand and backhand front. Pls advise

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

It depends from where you are coming from... 😁🏸

[@rayapallypradeepkumar5447]

Mam awesome teaching, man one more when I am standing nearer to the net, when racket coming very close on to your face or shoulder level, or beneath the knee level, missing because of very high speed, so !!!!

[@CoachKennieAsuncion]

Make sure your racket is positioned same level as the net or only slightly higher when u raise your arm to high shots will pass through your racket and if you hold your racket too low all your return shots will be lifted to get it over the net and that is dangerous ... 😁🏸
