The fundamental rules are to describe the characteristics of the game. I think the fundamentals referred in this thread was the objective of the game. Further on the article, I think it missed probably the most important characteristic on the Chinese school of badminton: "我" or Me.
Keep it in - is the most important one and this reminded me of Datuk Misbun serious voice that once had persistently advised me many years ago when i was first under him. "Always make sure to keep it in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yes, quite right. Play your own style, regardless of opponent's style. http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/421424738.html
1. Expensive rackets don't increase ur winning chance when you play against some1 better than you 2. Beginners always get bullied, so hurry and get out of beginner level.
After some thoughts... 1. Keep the birdie away frm ur opponents ~ [placement shots] 2. Make them run for it...
1. Dont get hurt/injured. Eg: Wear protection for knee, waist; Do warming/stretching before play; Dun play when u feel on-off body pain 2. Learn the footwork and hitting technique correct with this mindset: Hit the shuttle before you (not over you)
The Two Fundamental Laws of Badminton (loser's point of view) : 1) Goalpost is always the wrong height - varies depending on where your shuttle landed. 2) It's always the racket's fault. And the wrong shoes were on your feet. 1) Bribe line judges, abuse umpires, scare away the referee. 2) If you can't pressurize them to give you byes and walkovers, you weren't meant to play this game. 1) Universal Rule #1: The draft and the lighting made you lose. 2) Universal Rule #2: Tournament organizers are cheapos and got the 'wrong' brand shuttle/birdie.
