Hi, I'm new in badminton. I know footwork is very important. But I have no idea how should I practise to improve myself. I've tried searching for related articles here but not much help or maybe I'd miss out some good ones. I intend to practise by myself but not sure how can I get it started. If I book a court of an hour per day. What's the best routine of various footworks or other form of practise to get fundamental improve? Bear in mind I'll be doing it all alone. Please advice how should I start and what kind of footworks pattern I should work on. Then after that what other practise should I do. I just want to fully make use of this hour to the maximun to sweat myself out, burn some fats and at the same time improve on my fundamental. Please do not hesitate to list down as much knowledge u know over here. I'm open to all advices and suggestions. I just want to improve... Thank you very much...
Tough if you want to do it yourself. I'd say study a couple of videos of professionals in tournaments. Also, if you can source it, a copy of Han Jian's book. And then ask some people who look like they play quite well, to give some advice. However, do expect that a lot of people may not be able to give an answer. Or they maybe be unsure of the answers.
There was a IBF Training VID clip for download a couple of months ago. It showed a variety of footworks: For example, (1) going from the center to the net (left or right corner ) under advantageous and disadvantageous situations; (2) Going from the center to the back (left or right corner) under advantageous situations.
hey, Pete, that really sounds good! I think this is wat I needed most!!! It'll give me ideas... I did some search but cannot find over here. I wonder any of u have a copy of the video that can email or for me to download? Thank you very much in advance....

Cheung, is the book in Chinese or English? I wonder where can I source or purchase some videos on these footworks? After playing for couple of months, I'm completely convince I need to have proper footworks & fundamental stroking or otherwise I'll lose out to experience players. They'll make me run like a crazy man around the court and make me exhaust like hell... I'm very determine to learn but I'm not a fast learner. So I hope u guys can give me ideas... :crying: Thanks alot...
