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.
About five centuries later, a game named Battledore and Shuttlecock was
played in china, Japan, India and Greece. This is a game where you use the
Battledore (a paddle) to hit the Shuttlecock back and forth. By the 16th
century, it has become a popular game among children in England. In Europe
this game was known as jeu de volant to them. In the 1860s, a game
named Poona was played in India. This game is much like the Battledore
and Shuttlecock but with an added net. The British army learned this game in
India and took the equipments back to England during the 1870s.
In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party in his country place,
Badminton. A game of Poona was played on that day and became popular
among the British society's elite. The new party sport became known as "the
Badminton game". In 1877, the Bath Badminton Club was formed and
developed the first official set of rules.
The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was formed in 1934 with 9
founding members.

Since then, major international tournaments like the Thomas Cup (Men) and
Uber Cup (Women) were held. Badminton was officially granted Olympic
status in the 1992 Barcelona Games. From 9 founding members, IBF now

have over 150 member countries. The future of Badminton looks bright
indeed
