Han Jian teaches us how to add power to his crushing method, which, if done correctly, is as powerful as the Malaysian/Indonesian style crushing method. These videos were released a few days ago. Let’s discuss it.

Last week, there was a calm in the international badminton scene, which could take a breath before the Japanese Open was excited. We turned our focus to training and preparation for Fred’s upcoming game.

On May 17, 2025, Han Jian taught Fred how to improve his crushing power while also increasing liquidity. He went on to describe the 5 power levels of his crushing method. That was something he hadn’t talked about in a long time. He taught me last time to start in 2021 before I started recording and posting videos on YouTube. I thought I could never watch the video on the video and I had to tell it myself in the monologue video. But finally being able to record it is just gold!

In this video series, Han Jian makes Fred practice his own elevated swing, from all the way to the most advanced steps. This is to remind Fred how to complete the crushing. Fred’s movements have become disconnected, and his swing may be a bit crazy, especially when he wants to throw his strength into the crushing. Therefore, Han Jian decided to start with the basics.

Power 1: Wrist

The wrist provides power by quickly rotating the racket. This creates a whip-like effect when the racket hits the shuttle. The momentum of the racket is transferred to the shuttle, and with the speed of momentum, the momentum is multiplied by the mass, the speed when the racket hits the shuttle bus will determine the speed of the shuttle after the impact.

Momentum = mass x velocity

Adding a slight adjustment to fit the loop action can produce the following: t

cicular momentum = mass x circle velocity

The quality of the racket will not change. Since the racket rotates freely on the wrist, it does not carry the extra mass of the arms or hands. This means that the faster the racket rotates, the greater the momentum.

The rotation of the racket can be increased by a player with good finger strength and dexterity. Players with these attributes are able to spin the racket faster. And this factor can add a lot of power to the crushing.

Power 2: Arm

Next force uses the arm. Pull your arm to the front of the player, adding a descending movement to the racket. When the player pulls down his arm, the player must grab the racket to avoid spinning out of the player’s hands. This makes the racket bigger, because the racket is now moving in the other direction above the rotation that has been made.

The momentum equation still applies to the arms, and this time the calculation changes slightly. The quality now is the combination of racket and arm. This is because the arms keep the racket company. The speed is now the speed of the racket moving downward.

A lot happened to this crushed snapshot. Just pay attention to moving your arms down for the time being.

During the hit, the power of the arm moving downward is transferred to the shuttle. Simple calculation of static X speed, but when we only consider arm movement, it will be as follows:

Momentum = The mass of the arm and racket combines the speed of the racket

Power Level 3: Body Turning

The next one is a body turn. This is when you add the body’s turn to the shattering power. Again, the same momentum equation is at work.

Check out the video above again. This time, when I’m about to hit, be careful about the turn of my body. My right shoulder twirled from behind. This shows that when I hit the crush, I turn my body counterclockwise forward.

This circular motion adds another layer of power in the crushing. The equations that calculate this calculation are as follows:

cicular momentum = mass of body X circle velocity

In this case, the player’s entire body is working. Even if the spin speed is low, because of the mass, momentum is important.

Electricity 4: Jump

Check out the video again. Pay attention to the timing of jumping this time. In order to jump into the crushing momentum, players must hit the shuttle while still moving upwards during the jump. This will shift momentum from the player’s jump to the smash. The equations played are as follows:

Momentum = mass x velocity

What plays out here is the quality of the player, and the speed is the speed of the player moving from jumping upwards.

Many times, players jump too early and only hit the shuttle bus when they fall down. This does not bring any extra power to the player, because the player falls away from the shuttle, and in momentum calculations, this is the negative speed.

To do this, the player needs to jump to the shuttle and hit it because he is still moving upwards, rather than stopping and starting to fall backwards.

Because the player is very heavy compared to the shuttle bus, even a small amount of jumping can bring great power to the crushing.

Strength Level 5: Body leans forward

The last and most difficult thing to do is to tilt the shattered body forward. When the player does this, the player will have to start moving forward when hitting the smash. This means that the player’s body moves forward when he hits the crush.

This forward movement is achieved by falling forward, but pulling the leg behind the player, pulling his body forward into the fall. This forward movement provides more power to crush.

Momentum = mass x velocity

Using the same equation as momentum, we can calculate momentum here. Mass is the player’s entire body, and speed is the body falling forward. The speed is small, but because the player’s entire mass is absorbed, the motivation is very high.

The more important reason for using the Lean Forward approach is mobility, as it allows players to move forward quickly.

in conclusion

When combining all 5 power levels into the crush, the crushing power is very close to the most powerful crush in the world of badminton, which is the type of crush used by Indonesian/Malaysian players.

In fact, Malaysian players place more emphasis on the power of crushing than Indonesians. This is backed by some of the fastest crushing facts held by Malaysian players at some point in time. Lee Chong Wei often hits crushes over 400 km/h. Pearly Tan currently has the fastest smash record for women. Tan Boon Heong once held the fastest smash record a few years ago. Of course, Lee Zii Jia is known to have the most powerful fans among singles of men.

Using these 5 power levels, players using Han Jian method can get almost the same power in Smash, but the mobility is improved. Moreover, based on my personal experience, this method is not easy to get hurt. I have not been hurt since I completely changed the method of Han Jian! And I’m not young either.

That’s it.
