    Badminton originated from an ancient Chinese game called Ti Jian Zi and was introduced to Europe as Jeu de Volant. In the 1600s, it was known as Battledore and shuttlecock and played by the upper classes in Europe, including England. In the 1850s, British military officers in India began playing with a net, and it grew popular there. Retired officers then brought the sport back to England in the 1870s. In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort introduced it at his estate Badminton House, giving the sport its name. The first official world tournament was in 1898 in Guildford, England.

    Brief History of Badminton

    Ti Jian Zi ang laro na galing sa China na sinasabing lolo ng badminton kagaya ito
    ng larong sipa sa Pilipinas. Nkarating ng Europe ang laro na ginamitan ng pamalo
    kapalit ng mga paa na tinawag na Jeu de Volant na ang ibigsabihin ay flying game in
    french.

    Nung 1600s, ang Badminton ay kilala sa tawag na Battledore and shuttlecock,


    involving 2 persons hitting shuttlecock towards each other as many times as
    possible before it hit the ground. Ito ay dating isang upper-class na laro sa
    Europe kabilang ang England.

    According to " A Brief History of Badminton from 1870 to 1940" na sinulat ni Betty

    panahong yon. Dito nadagdagan ng net ang larong ito at dahil ito ay naging popular
    sa Garrison Town of Pun, tinawag itong Poona.

    Nung around 1870's naman dinala ng mga retired british military officers ang laro
    pabalik sa England mula sa India at naging tanyag. Noong 1873, ipinakilala ng Duke
    ng Beaufort ang sport sa kanyang mga kaibigan sa country estate, "Badminton House"
