Hello everyone! I recently registered to this forum and I've found it quite remarkable when you guys talk about techinques and equipment. I've played badminton for 5 years now, but without any coach, so I've probably developed some very bad playing habits. So, I'm 24 now and I live in Finland, and I just joined a badminton club and I hope I'll learn lots of badminton there! I've watched Zhao Jian Hua's and Xiao Jie's videos and of course read a lot about badminton techniques, and on Friday I'm going to test what I've learned . I'm totally crazy about badminton now, and I hope you're too, since it's a great sports!
haha, welcome, you're in the right place if you're crazy about badminton, there are loads of people here in your category.

Welcome to BC,mcjoel..hopefully u'll learn more n more,n u can improve in ur badminton game after ur join.Have a good time here..
Thank you very much folks! I've been enjoying my stay here a lot and even found help for my ankle sprain. Well, it's not that bad anymore, and tomorrow I'll buy a wobble board to strengthen my ankles. I'm not sure how popular badminton is in Finland, but you can see badminton courts almost in every sports hall here.
i have two favourite finnish men, mika hakkinen and kimi raikkonen, i wonder if they play badminton. hahahahah
Haha, i'm not sure. They've probably tried it and who knows, if badminton was the reason for their success Well, almost all my friends have at least tried badminton and it's relatively easy to start playing badminton here in Finland. In Esport-Center (a good sports hall in Espoo) there are school groups playing badminton every morning. So, I guess it's quite popular nowadays.
wow....a badminton fan from FINLAND (i always wonder whether a country like Finland has badminton fans) from espoo? same as my favourite KIMI... do u play ice hockey...as i know, Finland is good in that kind of sport welcome to BC
welcome to BC............... nice to have new Finnish here...... hm.... am i in that category?? maybe a lower category.... maniac category maybe.....
You did? Cool, yep, we have badminton fans and a lot of badminton clubs here, but i don't know many Finns who have been successful on international badminton courts. :/ Yes, I play hockey but not that much. Usually I play badminton, swim or run. We have been pretty good at ice hockey but we have won gold in the ice hockey WCs only once.
