I haven't heard of any badminton-coaching centres in Japan, but I'm pretty sure that there'll be a バドミントン部 at the university you'll be attending.

You want to train to become a badminton professional?
In Japan, players as same as your age are in high schools as famous for badminton.
They don't go to a badminton academy.
I think there is no academy for training for high school student.
But there are many good players in Tokyo.
I am sure they teach you if you want to train in serious, and invite you to a club where good players join.
I told you about a lesson gym in Shibuya.
My friend is a good player in Shibuya area and he know many good places.
So if possible, I recommend you to go there once.

Or there are some academy for elementary school and junior high schoo students.
If you are OK, you may be able to join the club.

Japanese amatur players want to improve their badminton levels.
They usually train in serious after working.

So in Japan, you can train hard to improve your badminton anywhere you want.

By the way, you can focus on only badminton, there is some technical university which has a major for badminton.
But you can enter the university after graduating high school.

There are many way to meet with good badminton players in Japan, but few badminto academy.

..anek999(Anek), you should've visited the Tournaments sub-forum/section! We could've had possibly a BC get-together this yr (or perhaps next yr) at the Japan Open; and considering you know quite a few Thai players, too...:cool:
anyway, hope to meet you one of these days for a BC get-together!:cool:

Miyuki san, arigato gozaimasu.Sumiamsen ga, I want badminton academy...for training..not justplaying games....I need to improve a lot

I met Shu Wada, Rei Sato and some other top Japanese junior players ( they lost to keita masuda and tadashi ohtsuka, first round at the japan open ). I questioned them about how they train, and they replied saying that they attend a boarding school and they train nearly every day.

I'll ask them again if they attend the KLRC NZ Open later in November.

Alot of schools join the inter-high national tournament, so people train very often to compete in it.

Thank you for replying me so fast !
Let's have some Badminton play together next year during
Yonex Open Japan 2009. The stadium and Shibuya area is not
far, then it's so convenient to play with you and teams.
What day and time you usually play ?
I hope it will be great experience for me to have chance to play with you in Japan.

That's it ! You got the right answer I've had in mind.
I totally forgot the name of this court in L.A.
Also I had chance to play with this guy.. he is Chinese. Is ALEX his name?
He was introduced to me by my cousin who now still lives in L.A. and play at this court with his Hong Kong friends.

He speaks English, Thai, Mandarin, and French.
Usually he plays there once or twice a week with his H.K. friend.

Yeah, I had visited Bangkok 10 years ago, but I didn't imagine that I could play badminton in Bangkok. Almost Japanese players didn't know how to find a place to play in other country...

Maybe I will go to KL on Feb next year. I hope I can drop by Bangkok or you can come KL!
