Learning Chinese Style Badminton from Han Jian - Badminton Training with Han Jian 20240101

This is the introduction video to my TH-cam Channel.
The transcript for the entire video is as follows:
This TH-cam Channel was created with the intention of documenting the techniques used by elite badminton players from China which we are learning from Han Jian.
There are 3 types of training videos:
1. Training sessions conducted by Han Jian
2. Training session where Steve teaches his children techniques learnt from Han Jian
3. Training sessions conducted by Coach Zheng and his team
The creative choices made on the videos were intentional. It is intended to be dry, emphasizing on the content. There are no “5 steps to improve your xxx shot” type of content here. The purpose of the channel is to be a source of educational references and archival records, not entertainment. However, there might some light-hearted moments captured during training sessions. We are still human.
The content is organized based loosely on the skills. The full catalogue of the skills is documented on the website and blog. By combining the TH-cam channel, the website and the blog, the hope is that it will become a comprehensive guide to Chinese badminton.
Han Jian is a former badminton player from China who was active in the 1970s and 1980s. Han Jian was the top men’s singles player in China until his retirement in 1986. Han Jian has had a glittering career, winning all major titles in badminton during his time, including the World Championships, the World Cup, the Asian Cup, and the Thomas Cup.
Coach Zheng trained under Han Jian at Setia Badminton Academy and subsequently joined Han Jian’s coaching team.
Steve is a former youth player trained in the Malaysian / Indonesia way of playing badminton. After years of learning from Han Jian, Steve has managed to change his technique to the Chinese way of playing badminton.

i enjoy this type of "dry" content as you have mentioned, it's like i am observing directly a training session which is probably the next best thing to direct coaching. At the moment I can't afford coaching so often so I often come to youtube, I really appreciate your videos!

We don't do talking into the camera as we are not creating a scripted video for entertainment. This is it the real training, and this is what happens as we train. It was a conscious creative decision that we don't do a scripted video. There are too many around on TH-cam, and that makes it hard for viewers to differentiate the BS from the real deal.
We are the real deal, and we don't have to spend so many words talking to the video to convince people. The technique used by Han Jian works. He conquered the world with it. And even now, Chinese players are still dominating using the same techniques.
I learnt Malaysian / Indonesian style as a youth and DID NOT make it. I always wondered why. Now I know. And better yet, by using what Han Jian taught me, I have now recovered from the injuries which incurred when I played using Malaysian / Indonesian style. The proof is in the pudding. This stuff works.
I get tired that many who barely understand this technique of badminton start becoming experts and critics. I delete most comments, but do keep some around for entertainment. And then occasionally, I would get a true lover of the sport who gets it, like yourself. It is for guys who understand it like yourself which makes all this effort in capturing these videos worthwhile. Thank you for your support. Much appreciated.

@@SteveTalksBadminton Thanks for the insightful reply. I'm happy to hear that you have found something that works amazingly for you. As an Indonesian myself I have a soft spot for our players / playing style, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate skill regardless of where it comes from. I will try to learn what I can from your videos to better myself :)
