I agree that playing badminton can really give your body a total workout. In fact, I remembered playing badminton once in one of our intramural events, and boy did I sweat so much! Haha. Thanks for posting this entry. Your thoughts basically made me want to play badminton again. .-= New at sara@Yeast Infection Relief's undefined ..<a href="0">Response cached until Tue 26 @ 5:53 GMT (Refreshes in 23.07 Hours)</a> =-.

The chinese badminton players are treated like UK or US tennis players. It is popular and prestigious, just not as much in the UK or the West overall. Well I wouldn’t say it’s a poor sport.

And thus our schools do not promote it either. There is no organized crime supporting Badminton, and Badminton remains so much poor for it !

Yep I'm the same Les, I usually play for around 3 hours at a time and it's anything but a relaxing sport! :-) Ouch that must’ve been tough to watch!

My son lost in the final of the next tournament. Still, he's going in the right direction, only needs to go one better. The level of fitness and the stamina of the boys is fantastic. My lad was on court for 4 hours that day - so were many of the other boys. The girl's doesn't seem as tough as they don't get the same numbers entering and there's less strength in depth. Which is odd, given some people consider it a girl's game.

Oh I couldn't agree more there that watching your favorite players in trouble or even if you have a friend playing or in your case a son can be really painful to watch. Sorry to hear about badminton being responsible for your marriage! :-( (LOL) Thanks for your comments and keep in touch! Amit Hey Les!

Badminton is a great game when your young and you can play and enjoy it right into your dotage (that's where I am). Fun, social (Badminton's to blame for my marriage!), reflexes etc - your remarks are all spot on. The one thing I find tough is watching my son play. I don't know how other countries do it, but in the UK there are tournament circuits for U13s, U15s and U17s - my son plays in the U15s. His last two tournaments he lost in a semi-final and a final and I found it really tough to watch. Another game he won 25-23 and I think I came close to having a heart attack.

I think squash has one advantage over badminton in that you can book a court by yourself and practise your strokes anytime. You can't do that with badminton but I just found that badminton was much more social than squash which is why I decided to continue leave it and go for badminton. Thanks for the comment! :-) @John
