hey guys, the names mike.

have played badminton for a couple months(seriously) just found this site.

i used to be overweight, and got into working out about 2 years ago, i enjoy playing guitar (blues,clapton stuff, satriani and vai stuff) and martial arts.

i am a blue belt in BJJ and have been doin that and muay thai for about 2.5 years

my marks are pretty decent, 93 avg.. but i go to a really nerdy school lol.

if anyone has any questions regarding bodyweight exercises i'd be glad to help! Im 15 btw.

oh anyways, i absolutely love badminton, although i am not very good at it.

i am joining mt royal in september and doin a bunch of camps this summer so just wanted to say hello!

Welcome, you sound like quite the well rounded person.

I'm a big fan of the clapton and satriani, too... really fun licks to play.

yes they are, just finished learning starry night by satch
i have a weird question lol... when you buy grips do you put them on yourself? or have the store owner do that?

Thats quite a hard question to answer, because it depends. Where are you buying the grips from? Normally, one would put the grip they bought on themselves, but i'm sure if you bought it from a racket shop like "Racket Central" or "What's your racket" or something of the sort they would put it on for you if you asked. On the other hand, I would feel really awkward asking some kid from sportmart to put on a grip that I bought from their store. Anyhow, it's quite easy to grip your own racket so I suggest you try to do it yourself so you can customize it to your liking? Or something like that.
