"Hi my name is Bryan and welcome back to expertvillage.com. What we are going to talk about is, we are going to talk about the basic foot work side to side in doing badminton footwork. First off, we are going to start off on the right then to the left. We talked about the base position earlier shoulder,the legs need to be level. Let me start off in going to the right. Left foot need to move across and the right foot moves forward. Reach. As you notice, my left foot is a little bit slant to the ground when I launch my right foot with a swing motion, then go back to the base. Same thing with the left foot forward. Moving forward and launching to the right hand side with a swing. Eye contact needs to the net and the opponents with the swing. Go back to the base position. I'm going to do it a little bit faster with the same position side way on the right side ways to the left. In the count of three. One, two, three. Also remember you need to go back on the side ways position. Knees need to bend a little bit as much as possible. If you can do heels up that would help you better on control doing the lunges."
