 A Short History of SquashSquash historians assert that the game originated in the 19th century at Harrow School, just outside London, as a derivative of the game of Racquets. The first recorded construction of purpose-built squash courts was at Harrow in the 1860s. It is possible that earlier squash courts were created at Harrow by sub-dividing a racquets court, which is almost exactly the size of three Squash courts (to allow more players on the courts at the same time). How To Win at Badminton - The Best StrategyTo win in badminton, players need to employ a wide variety of strokes in the right situations. These range from powerful jumping smashes to delicate tumbling net returns. The Rules of BadmintonAt the start of a match, a coin is tossed.

In less formal settings, the shuttle may be hit into the air to determine which side serves: the shuttle lands pointing to the serving side.

Iwama Ryu is a debateable sixth as, although its influence is major, it has until recently been part of the Aikikai.
