Hi Guys I have in recent months got back into Badminton after a 6 year break. I am due to go to Malaysia in 4 weeks time, i intend on spending a few nights in Langkawi and then the remainder in KL. After reading several previous posts, i would like to know which place a could gain private coaching to improve my game. I was singles state champion in the U.K 6 years ago before playing semi pro football for last 5 years. So i would consider myself average at the moment but looking to improve my game and start playing competitive again. I have located 2 places from the reviews. SETIA ACADEMY- in Setia ALAM in klang/shah alam. the academy is coached by han jian and a few ex-national players. or Nasa Mahsuri. (MISBUN SIDEKS CLUB) Question is will I be able to gain private coaching at these places. Any idea of costings for 1-2-1 coaching in these places? who would i contact to book any sessions? If you know of any other info that would help? Also if there area any hotels near these places, please let me know. Thanks, 1st visit to malaysia, can't wait Faz
i'm not sure about setia alam, but nusa mahsuri has a website at http://nusa-mahsuri.com/. unfortunately, it is entirely in malay so i'll translate this part which i think might be relevant to you:- --- MODUL LATIHAN Jadual latihan Hari Selasa, Rabu, Jumaat & Sabtu a) Sesi I - mulai jam 8.00 pagi hingga 10.00 pagi b) Sesi II - mulai jam 10.00 pagi hingga 12.00 tengahari c) Sesi III - mulai jam 3.00 petang hingga 5.00 petang Hari Khamis & Ahad a) Sesi I - mulai jam 8.00 pagi hingga 10.00 pagi b) Sesi II - mulai jam 10.00 pagi hingga 12.00 tengahari Hari Isnin - Cuti Untuk maklumat lanjut mengenai program ini, sila berhubung terus dengan Zulfari Abdullah (017-9322331), Doni Zulfikar (012-3649554), atau emel Nusa Mahsuri (nusamahsuri_club@yahoo.com) ---- training modules tuesdays, wednesdays, fridays and saturdays a) Session I - from 8.00 am to 10.00 pm b) Session II - from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm c) Session III - from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm Thursdays and Sundays a) Session I - from 8.00 am to 10:00 am b) Session II - from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm Mondays - Off For further information on this programme, please contact us via Zulfari Abdullah (017-9322331), Doni Zulfikar (012-3649554), or e-mail Nusa Mahsuri (nusamahsuri_club@yahoo.com)
an alternative would be jworldsports. http://jworldsports.com.my/. you might also want to try new vision; thread is at http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64152 although the discussion in that thread pertains to beginner/average levels, new vision caters to competition-type players too. personal attention? in malaysia everything is negotiable sorry that i have no other info; if the websites do not suffice i have a feeling that BC regulars like ants might have the connections you need so you might want to PM them.
