Where did the sport of badminton originated and how the history of the beginning? People only know the name of badminton came from a house / castle in the Gloucester-shire, about 200 kilometers west of London, England. Badminton House, the name of the palace, to witness the history of how this sport started to be developed into its present form. In these buildings, the owner, the Duke of Beaufort and her family in the 17th century became the sport activist. However, the Duke of Beaufort was not the inventor of the game. Badminton became a name only because that's where the game is becoming known among the top and then spread. Badminton is the only sport whose name is derived from the name of the place.
Which is also a big question mark is how the name of the game is changed from battledore into badminton. The name of the game from two people who slap the ball forward (forehand) or backward (backhand) as long as possible it was battledore. The origins of the game by using a shuttlecock battledore (kok) itself is also a mystery. People used to use penepak of wood (bat). Two people slap a "bird" is forward and backward as long as possible.
The game has done this kind of children and adults more than 2000 years ago in India, Japan, Siam (now Thailand), Greece, and China. In this last region played more with the foot. In the UK found a medieval woodcut containing images of children kicking shuttlecock. The game uses really does have its own charm. After ditepak or beaten up so that "fall" (down) will really slow down, allowing people to pursue and menepaknya again to the top. The question mark, how can form really like now: a head with one end rounded and flat at the other end of feather stuck dozens of similar birds? Materials to create really does already exist in nature. Why the round head shape there are already around us, commonly found in fruits or stone.
The question is how to initially abisa feathers stuck in his head why? Some argue that there is someone sitting in a chair and in front of her desk. He was daydreaming and thinking of something far away. Incidentally he took the bottle caps are made of cork and then stuck-nancapkan pen when it was made of feathers. Some pen tertancapkan simple form and be a shuttlecock.
Of course there is no proof. Only later was made a plaything of such a shape is different in each region. In the 1840's and 1850's family to the Duke of Beaufort-7 is most often the organizer of this game. According to Bernard Adams (The Badminton Story, BBC 1980) Duke's children - seven boys and four girls - this is what started to play in the front room. Gradually they are bored of the game that that's it. They then stretched the rope between the door and the fireplace and play with really take across the rope through it. That was the beginning of the net. End of the 1850s known start a new game type. In the 1860's there was a toy salesman from London - perhaps battledore equipment providers - called Isaac Spratt, write Badminton Battledore - a new game. The article describes the evolution of the game at Badminton House.
