Hi - I am volunteering in KBK and can answer some of your questions. KBK also use courts at other venues in Copenhagen. So the 6 courts you see in the film are not the only courts we use. Some kids play once or twice a week - and some of the kids who are very motivated can play more. We aim to be not more than 4 players on each court. Some of our older kids who gets a lot of High quality training each week are also expected to show up and help the younger/new players. We have a culture where everybody are expected to give back to the community in the club if possible.. this culture has been hard to create and has to be “nutured” by the coaches, the board and the volunteers - but it is possible.
Thanks for your answer. Does it mean the 6 courts are yust not enough? I am asking because we are looking for our own hall in the netherlands. But here its not easy to find something
@@Kartonwinkel the 6 courts are not enough for 650 members and the kids are in School until afternoon - so we can only schedule their training between 15 and 19-ish pm. So we borrow 3 other venues near by and have sessions simultanious. We own our club you see in the film and can plan as we please there but the other venues we apply for through the municipality and book one year at a time.
I have a problem going these days that where I live there are courts but no one plays at good level at all .I am trying to improve bec I am currently aiming to win under 19 nationals .what can I do to improve my game in every aspect on court ,off court and everything when I don’t have any sparring partners or feeder ? I fell like I am not improving any more how can I start improving agian when I am he best player. I would really appreciate if you could help a little.
Tobi, this content is just amazing, really. I’m from Brazil, where badminton is barely even known. This club culture thing is just incredible, and I really dream about this kind of infrastructure on developing new talents. I’d really like to see more of this kinds of vlogs in the future
Amazing to see the club culture at KBK and to think Copenhagen has many more clubs! I have taught children next to a wonderful Danish coach who set up a club in North Carolina. I learned a great deal from him and also from the Danish national players who traveled to Morrisville, NC for camps. The attitude is that badminton is fun, that training is interesting and that no-one has all the answers. This combination of tradition plus exploration and fun is important. The US creates sports like racquetball and pickleball rather than focus on one sport like badminton. The US school system focuses on American football and basketball. There is no state or national financial support for badminton. That said, there are ways to be creative so that kids can see top players, they can practice with family support and learn good fundamentals. Very talented, committed kids often relocate to be near the best coaches and programs in the US. Thanks for all your videos, they are a great help!
Thank you for your comment and the great insights on the system in the US. Every country is different in terms of (sports) culture and I think the challeng for every badminton federation is, to set up a system that works with that culture. I think it is great to learn and get inspiration from top badminton nations but it is a bad idea if you just try to copy these things. In denmark voluntary work is very common and most clubs are based on that. If you live in a country where you don't have that, you have to take another approach if you want to be succesful.
This is why Viktor got so much heat in the media when he moved to Dubai, because he essentially abandoned the system which you described in the video. The question is, is he ruining Danish badminton or revolutionizing it?
Viktor only have so many years to earn his money. He also is a person who goes all in, not leaving anything up to chance. He still does a lot for badminton in Denmark, and even if he is not living in Denmark, he still have so many young and older players looking up to him. He shows how much work and dedication it takes to be number one. I think he is making a path for up and coming players all around the world, and especially Denmark
Great and super interesting point. Kenneth Larssen, one of the most famous coaches from Denmark made a lot of interesting comments on that. He says that he can totally understand Victors move to Dubai and for him it is a great decision but he expects that the danish system will suffer from it in the long run, especially if other players follow victors example. So far the system worked so well because the younger generation was benefiting from all the elite players. Larssen pointed out that he has the feeling that Antonsen is also struggling since he is not on court with Victor every day and if also decides to create his own set up the players after him have the same problem and so on
I'm self-taught in badminton I use youtube to learn new techniques. I've been losing so many times now. Yesterday i had my 70th lost but i still keep going. Having culture is great but experiencing defeats can also give you more experience
As for interesting countries, as a European, nearly all successful Asian nations seem to be very interesting! China and Japan come to mind first, but I guess the language barrier could make that difficult. Also Indonesia's approach or the recently surging Indians are one of the top choices I think
Great questions talking to Mads Kolding. Could've definitely went for those clickbait titles: "HOW TO HIT A 400 KM/H SMASH with Mads Kolding" 😂😂 So I was pleasently suprised and appreciate the quality :)
Haha thank you, highly appreciate that feedback. I am not so good at these clickbait titles and I think it's also a little sad how much they take overhand nowadays
@@tobiaswadenka8435 Tomorrow my local club south of Oslo will host a yearly tournament for senior and junior. Hoping to inspire new players and "soon" catch up with handball and soccer in popularity which rules the hall times. 😑
Compared to the size of the Chinese population, you could argue that they have not dominated as much as the Danish players, so this video is still very much relevant
Population size matters , most of olympic medelist in Western countries have a side job , they cannot concentrate only on one thing due to lower population
Great video as usual. Thanks for addressing this long lasting question about the Denmark exception. I find interesting the coaches giving back to the club. I wonder if there is any financial incentives in general (subventions, donations, sponsors...) for the badminton in Denmark and to what extend it may help the sport development. Also how strong is the badminton culture in the local media ?
In Denmark you get quite a lot of subventions from the state as a club for every kid you have as a member. That makes it also very interesting and attractive for the club to focus on the juniors and to get many young members
Yes some of the small ones only have 1 or 2 sessions per week and for some of the sessions with the really small ones the parents also help in the training so they can handle bigger groups as well
@@tobiaswadenka8435 that still means 600 kids training per week. Almost 100 per day. Thats a lot. Plus the top players and adults. Curious how they manage that
I think also that Paul Hoyer Erik Larssen inspired a generation of players from Denmark, then Morten Frost but truth is there's no money in badminton except the top guys, compared to other professional sports Badminton is a joke. I remember back in the day seeing the winning check for the All England men's singles champion at $4,000. That's not even a plane ticket and hotel now, but there are many good players out of Europe, they just don't care about the sport as much as the Asian nations.
In badminton world, Denmark is indeed had pretty good achivements and they are the only white viking nation among the sea of Asians. Badminton is a kind of sport which is too soft for the white nations, esp. for a viking nation, yet Denmark proved to be a very good competitor.
It's wrong comparing population vs domination in sports, if that would have been the case - China and India woud have dominated every sport! As you said sporting culture is the REAL DEAL!! For example - Australia,
As an asian, we need more badminton success stories in Europe and elsewhere. Long may the Danish success continue.
Yes that would definitely help the sport to become more popular and global!

1:54 I have never seen a kid feeding shuttles, and so good at that!

I am also doing same bro , In India A week ago I lost my 4th state championship
Self taught is great but we will need somebody to check our form and help with drills
@@sendoh7x You are right but due to some issues I cant take training
@@ari-athbadminton0301 thnx
Really loved this review，also thank you for keep doing this TH-cam channel to inspire me and other badminton lovers!!!
Great video! I hope to be able to visit these great clubs one day! thanks for sharing and keep up the great work Tobias!
👏👏👏👏👏👏a Thanks you Tobias,for sharing your expirience 😁🏸👍🇭🇳
Great content. Enjoyed watching it :)
As for interesting countries, as a European, nearly all successful Asian nations seem to be very interesting!
China and Japan come to mind first, but I guess the language barrier could make that difficult.
Also Indonesia's approach or the recently surging Indians are one of the top choices I think
Denmark is better than japan and south korea in badminton
Love your vids, thank you for sharing this experience!
Victor axelson is not only the greatest player of all time, but the best worldwide ambassador of the game. He is a super human
Really interesting video, thanks Tobias.
Very nice and interesting video, please make video like this, thank you Tobias
Great questions talking to Mads Kolding. Could've definitely went for those clickbait titles: "HOW TO HIT A 400 KM/H SMASH with Mads Kolding" 😂😂
So I was pleasently suprised and appreciate the quality :)
Haha thank you, highly appreciate that feedback. I am not so good at these clickbait titles and I think it's also a little sad how much they take overhand nowadays
I love your vlogs Tobias, please make more. :)
Cool video! I would like to also see England for badminton training in the near future.
It's not like in this video, that's for sure. 😳
Great video ! But one request could you plz make a game analysis of Lee Zii Jia or a Video on singles attacking style gameplay
Daumen hoch Tobias 👍 i like your video and that you give us an inside why Denmark is so successful in badminton. From badminton player in 🇳🇴
Thanks a lot and all the best to Norway ✌️😊

Very good and insightful video
Great Insight!
I really want a video on china because they have dominated the game for many years
Compared to the size of the Chinese population, you could argue that they have not dominated as much as the Danish players, so this video is still very much relevant
@@curioussand1339 but population size is not always a correct parameter to judge a country
Population size matters , most of olympic medelist in Western countries have a side job , they cannot concentrate only on one thing due to lower population
Have a look at the Olympic medals. China dominates in not one but many, many sports.
@@sakshamvasishth2805 Compared to pool size Denmark is better than China ... in reality after China and indonesia Denmark produce best shuttler
could you show more about the hangging shuttle and how to make them
Nice video. Some clubs in England would be awesome :)
Thanks a lot for sharing this. Does the club studio go into specifics of health and diet required by players?
Nice Video Sir!
Nice video!
Rally interesting report from Denmark!
Great video as usual. Thanks for addressing this long lasting question about the Denmark exception.

Hi tobias. Did you hear who financed the hall? And how do they train 400 kids in 1week? And still maintain quality?
i Guess many of the smaller kids have training twice a week only. like in most clubs in Denmark.
Yes some of the small ones only have 1 or 2 sessions per week and for some of the sessions with the really small ones the parents also help in the training so they can handle bigger groups as well
@@tobiaswadenka8435 that still means 600 kids training per week. Almost 100 per day. Thats a lot. Plus the top players and adults. Curious how they manage that
Canada seemingly has next to no badminton exposure. It's sad.
i hope one day you get a chance to try the atmosphere of djarum badminton club
Oh yes I would love to be there one day!
Great review. Very much in the style of a Trans World Sport segment.
