Badminton rests on five key techniques: grip, serve, footwork, stance, and strokes.

• Grip: The forehand grip is like shaking hands with the racket handle. Backhand requires a slight twist so your thumb supports the shot.
• Serve: You must hit the shuttle beneath your waist when serving. Low serves stay close to the net, while high serves push opponents back.
• Footwork: Agile movement keeps you ready to return any shot. Bouncing lightly on both feet lets you spring toward the shuttle.
• Stance: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Face the net with your racket up, ready to strike.
• Strokes: Master the clear, drop, smash, and net play to cover all situations. Each stroke uses different racket angles and swing speeds.

These fundamentals unlock everything else in badminton.

Badminton follows five core rules covering scoring, serving, rallies, faults, and court boundaries.

• Scoring: Games are played to 21 points using rally scoring. If it reaches 29-all, the next point wins.
• Serving: You serve crosscourt into the diagonal box. The shuttle must be struck below waist height with both feet grounded.
• One hit per side: The shuttle must go over after a single hit from your side.
• Faults: Out-of-bounds shots, net errors on serve, and body touches lose you the rally. Touching the net with your body or racket also results in a fault.
• Boundaries: In singles, the court is narrower; in doubles, the full width is used. Doubles serves must land before the back line, but rallies can use the full length.

These five rules cover most situations you will face on court.
