Hi, I'm Justin Ma 👋
I'm a 7x US Junior National Badminton Champion and an active professional badminton player for the past 8 years. I'm also the Head Coach at Badminton Justin.
I've played in international tournaments all over the globe, including the Badminton World Championships in 2023.
But my professional career wasn't always sunshine and rainbows. Just a few years back, I was struggling...
I Couldn't Get To The Next Level
Yes, I've got a bunch of accomplishments since I started playing badminton at the age of 10. And yes, I've won the US Junior National Championships 7 times.
But... I felt like I was still scraping the surface of my potential.
After another devastating loss in my adult career at an international tournament, I was ready for help. That's when this guy reached out to me and my life was about to change:
Hi Justin, I think I can help you.
You open to being coached online?
Raju Rai, US Men's Singles Olympian
"Hi Raju, Not Really"
I'd love to say I jumped on the opportunity to learn from a US Men's Singles Olympian. But I was skeptical to say the least.
I mean online badminton coaching? This will not work for me. Thanks, but no thanks Raju.
- I've just always learned in person. How could an "online badminton coach" improve my technique or my game?
- I need a person to look over my shoulder. How can an "online badminton coach" give me feedback?
It took another embarrassing professional loss to warm up to the idea. Finally, about a week later I replied to Raju sheepishly - and the rest is history:
Hi Raju, I think I'm open to try this.
"Hi Raju, I Just Reached A World Ranking Of 126!"
I was losing it. In a positive sense. I kept refreshing my website, and couldn't believe that I'm now officially one of the best living players in the US!
I still can't believe it to be honest. Please, check it out yourself (head over to "Ranking to see my highest rank ever").
It was not an overnight success. In fact, it's been almost 1 year since working with Raju. But... each and every month I was climbing up the ladder of professional badminton.
Finally, I beat opponents I could only dream of beating before. And all of this was with the additional help of an online badminton coach.
Will This Work For Others?
As people on social media saw my meteoric rise to one of the best badminton players in the US, I got plenty of offers to coach others online.
"But... I'm a professional player. Can I really help beginners that need even more feedback?"- I thought
So I initially declined all the requests because of that self-doubt. But, my first client, Jeff, was super persistent. Receiving yet another message on Instagram I thought to myself: "Well, let's give it a shot."
And within 3 months Jeff became one of the best players at his local club!
That's when I decided to take this more seriously. Now, I'm working with many individuals all around the globe - from beginners to professionals. Just take a look at some of my happy clients here:
