At YS Badminton, we’re proud to have coaches who don’t just teach the game—they continue to live it.
Many players in the Brisbane badminton community know AJ for his explosive jump smash, left-handed playing style, and competitive success on court. What many may not know is the depth of experience he brings as both a player and coach.
Before moving to Australia, AJ competed as a national-level junior player in the Philippines, building a strong foundation in high-performance badminton from an early age. Since then, he has continued to compete at a high level while helping players of all ages and abilities improve their game.
Competing at the Highest Level

One of his recent highlights was representing Queensland at the National Teams Event, where he helped secure a bronze medal. His recent achievements throughout 2025 and 2026 demonstrate his ongoing commitment to developing as both an athlete and coach.
By continuing to compete against strong opposition, AJ stays connected to the modern game and brings current tactics, techniques, and training methods directly into his coaching sessions.
