    Ti Jian zi was an ancient Chinese game dating back to the 5th century BC where players aimed to keep a shuttlecock aloft using their feet. This may have evolved from Cuju, a military training game similar to football. Over 1000 years the game spread throughout Asia under different names. It is considered a traditional Asian sport and the first to use a shuttlecock. While its origins predate badminton, the modern sport of badminton originated in Gloucestershire, England in the late 19th century from the game of battledore and shuttlecock. Badminton made its Olympic debut as a demonstration sport in 1972 and became a full medal sport in 1992.

    Ti Jian zi

    In the 5th century BC, the people in china then played a game called ti jian zi. A direct
    translation from this word 'ti jian zi' is kicking the shuttle. As the name suggest, the objective of the
    game is to keep the shuttle from hitting the ground without using hand. Whether this sport has
    anything to do with the History of Badminton is up for debate. It was however the first game that uses a
    Shuttle. The name Ti Jian Zi means simply ‘kick shuttlecock’ (‘ti’ = kick, ‘jian zi’ = little shuttlecock). The
    game is believed to have evolved from Cuju, a game similar to football that was used as military training.
    A lot of famous generals in the Chinese history used this game in order to relax and exercise their
    troops. Over the next 1000 years, this shuttlecock game spread throughout Asia, acquiring a variety
    names along the way. Jianzi has been played since the Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 AD), and was popular
    during the Six Dynasties period and the Sui and Tang dynasties. Thus, the game has a history of two
    thousand years. Several ancient books attest to its being played. Since the Song Dynasty (960-1278) the
    game was renamed to Jianqiu, from the Chinese word for “arrow” that sounds precisely as the word
    “shuttlecock”. Ti Jian zi is a traditional Asian game in which players aim to keep a heavily weighted
    shuttlecock in the air using their feet and other parts of the body (but not hands). The game, which goes
    by many different names, may be rules-based on a court similar to badminton and volleyball, or be
    played artistically, among a circle of players in a street or park, with the objective to keep the shuttle
    ‘up’ and show off skills. In recent years, the game has gained a formal following in Europe, the United
    States and elsewhere. In English, both the sport and the object with which it is played are referred to as
    “shuttlecock” or “featherball”. No racquets are used.

    Who invented the game badminton?


    Badminton originated in Gloucestershire, England in the late 19th century. Badminton’s roots
    are tied to the game of battledore and shuttlecock which can be traced back to ancient Greece.
    Battledore and shuttlecock was a simple game where players used paddles to hit a shuttlecock between
    them with the objective of keeping the shuttlecock from landing on the ground. This game was popular
    among children to play in England. British army officials stationed in Poona, India (current day Pune,
    India) during the 1860s evolved the battledore and shuttlecock game by introducing a net between the
    players. This resulted in badminton at that time being referred to as Poona (which was named after the
    southeast city of Bombay). Retired British army officials returning to England introduced the sport to the
    guests of a lawn party hosted by the Duke of Beaufort at his residence known as Badminton House. The
    demonstration of this sport was spread through word of mouth by the party guests as the “Badminton
    game” and the rest is history. Fun fact is that Badminton is the name of an actual village for which the
    Duke of Beaufort’s Badminton House is located, in the county of Gloucestershire, England. Where the
    sport truly began is still debatable according to BG badminton. It was suggested that around 5th century
    B.C where the game using shuttlecock was played which players use their feet to hit the shuttlecock
    instead of rockets. In year 1934, the IBF (International Badminton Federation) is created with 9 founding
    members (Canada, Denmark, England, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland and
    Wales) and has since expanded to 173 members.

    1966: THE BIRTH OF BADMINTON (HISTORY)


    In the year 1966, inaugural appearance of badminton championships took place at the British
    Empire and Commonwealth Games which took place in Kingston, Jamaica from the 4 th to 9th of August,
    and it has been in the Games since then. December of that same year, badminton’s second tournament
    happened. It was held during the fifth Asian Games, also known as V Asiad, at the Indoor Stadium in
    Huamark, Bangkok where singles, doubles, mixed doubles and team events were contested for both
    men and women. Since 1966, two bronze medals per event are awarded in each event.

    1992: THE BIRTH OF BADMINTON (HISTORY)

    Badminton first appeared in the Olympic Games as a demonstration sport in 1972 and as an
    exhibition sport in 1988. At the 1992 Games it became a full-medal Olympic sport, with competition for
    men’s and women’s singles (one against one) and doubles (two against two). Mixed doubles was
    introduced at the 1996 Games. The badminton men's singles tournament at the 1992 Summer Olympics
    took place from 28 July to 4 August at Pavelló de la Mar Bella. The men's singles resulted in the only
    non-Asian medallist, Thomas Stuer-Lauridsen of Denmark. 56 players from 32 nations competed in
    men's singles.

    Court Dimensions: Side Alley

    The side alley is the playing area on each side of the court between the singles sideline
    and the doubles sideline. This 1.5 ft (0.46m) wide area is in play for doubles, but out of bounds
    for singles.
    Both singles and doubles are played on the same standard court. The difference is that
    badminton singles is played without the side or doubles alleys that extend 1 ft 6 in (0.46 m) on
    either side of the court. As such, the boundaries of the singles court is played on a 17 ft x 44 ft
    (5.18 m x 13.4 m) court space, an area of 748 ft2 (69.49 m2). Each of the lines drawn on a
    standard badminton court have a thickness of 1.57 in (40 mm).

    Court Dimensions: Back Alley

    The back alley is an area of 2.5 ft (0.76m) deep between the doubles back service line
    and the back boundary line. It is out of bounds on any doubles serve.
    A badminton court is a rectangle 13.4-metres long and 5.18-metres wide for singles,
    extended on each side with 42-centimetre alleys for doubles (making the doubles court 13.4m x
    6.1m). The back boundary line is the same for singles and doubles play it is the outermost back
    line on the court. Back Alley is an area between the back boundary line and the long service line
    for doubles. As such, the boundaries of the singles court is played on a 17 ft x 44 ft (5.18 m x
    13.4 m) court space, an area of 748 ft2 (69.49 m2).

    Court Dimensions: Center Line to Restricted Line

    3.96m = center line

    0.76m = back/boundary line


    So, 3.96m + 0.76m = 4.72m as center line to restricted line
