A Curated List of Table Tennis Videos on Bilibili: Courses, Techniques, Full Matches — With Direct Links
The table tennis videos on Bilibili actually worth your time, sorted into six groups — full courses, single techniques, special styles, equipment, complete matches and tactical breakdowns — each with a link, a length and a note on what to watch for.
What this list is for
Bilibili’s table tennis library has two traits: an enormous amount of it, and an enormous spread in quality.
Search results sort by view count, which means the top of the page is usually thirty-second highlight clips. The systematic courses that actually change your stroke sit further down, because they are long, slow and unexciting. On top of that, re-uploaders, editors and original creators are all mixed together, so a title alone tells you very little about whether forty minutes is worth spending.
So this page does one thing: it pulls out the material worth finishing, groups it by purpose, and links it.
Three notes before you start:
- View counts are as of October 2026 and are only a rough signal — a popular video is not necessarily the right one for your level.
- Videos get taken down when rights or creator accounts change. If a link dies, search the original title on Bilibili; the same content usually exists elsewhere.
- Except where marked “official,” most uploads are from individuals. All rights belong to the original producers and rights holders. This site only indexes links and hosts no video. Please watch for personal study only.
1. Full courses: worth watching end to end
The beginner’s real problem is not a lack of content but fragmentation — a serve today, a flick tomorrow, and a stroke framework that never sets. The following are complete, ordered courses that work as textbooks.
| Content | Uploader | Scale | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Playing Table Tennis Well, 50 episodes(opens in new window) | PP Table Tennis | 17 parts, ~16 hours | A classic CCTV-produced introductory course, from ball feel and grip through footwork to combined technique. The most complete single set; follow it from zero |
| Tang Jianjun: Table Tennis Teaching(opens in new window) | PP Table Tennis | 25 parts, ~4 hours | A systematic course by a Beijing Sport University professor. Detailed, and good if you want to understand why an action works |
| Unity of Knowledge and Action — Sun Honghong Complete Course, 120 episodes(opens in new window) | Leizhenzi Diary | 120 parts, ~11 hours | The most granular set of the four. Useful as a long-term dictionary |
| Yin Hang (former national team) Basics, 50 episodes(opens in new window) | Bilibili Learning Hall | 15 parts, ~25 hours | A former national-team player’s foundation course. Huge, for people with patience |
How to use it: follow one course only. Following three at once is the same as following none — different coaches phrase things differently and the vocabularies fight each other. Watch one episode, practice it for a week, then come back.
2. Single techniques: bring a problem with you
This section is for the stage where you already know what’s wrong. Watching with a specific question in mind is far more efficient than browsing with an empty one.
Serving
| Content | Uploader | Length | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Side-spin, hook and reverse serves explained in one video(opens in new window) | An Kexiao Table Tennis | 11 min | Three mainstream serves compared side by side; the point is the link between friction direction and racket angle |
| The hook serve(opens in new window) | Guoqiu Table Tennis Hub | 2 min | Short enough to memorise: where the wrist goes, where the first bounce lands |
Reverse backhand flick (the “chiquita”)
| Content | Uploader | Length | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reverse backhand flick, broken down in detail(opens in new window) | Ji Yelong Table Tennis | 15 min | Breaks it down to elbow, wrist and racket angle. Good for building the stroke from scratch |
| Zhang Jike teaches inside-the-table flick → flick loop → the “king” flick(opens in new window) | Liziyuan Table Tennis | 6 min | Shows three levels of the same technique, which helps you place yourself |
Loop and stroke framework
| Content | Uploader | Length | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| The forehand loop framework, explained in the finest detail(opens in new window) | Ji Yelong Table Tennis | 16 min | It is about framework, not feel — read it alongside our stroke framework article |
Footwork
| Content | Uploader | Length | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| The most detailed footwork tutorial online(opens in new window) | Rundong Table Tennis | 7 min | Detailed breakdown, for players whose feet are already a mess |
| The 8 basic footwork patterns you must learn(opens in new window) | Zhongzhong Table Tennis | 4 min | Quick way to learn the names and uses. Use it as an index |
| Footwork, complete version(opens in new window) | Guangyi Badminton World | 6 min | Plainly explained, good as a first systematic pass |
Footwork problems are usually not in the feet but in the centre of gravity. After watching, check yourself against centre-of-gravity stability.
3. Special styles: long pips, chopping, penhold
These are the content gaps — and also where the most wrong advice circulates, because most tutorials assume inverted rubber on both sides. Everything below is a series, not a one-off.
Long pips
| Content | Uploader | Length | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long pips playbook, Ep. 1: properties, spin reversal(opens in new window) | PingPangWang | 6 min | Understand the “spin reversal” physics first, then talk about stroke |
| Long pips playbook, Ep. 2: the scrape and the punch-block(opens in new window) | PingPangWang | 7 min | The two most-used active long-pips strokes |
| Wang Yin teaches long pips, starting with the “arch”(opens in new window) | STIGA V Table Tennis | 5 min | Demonstrated by a professional; clean mechanics |
| Huang Jianjiang’s long pips course(opens in new window) | PP Table Tennis | 3 parts, ~1 hour | The most substantial long-pips material if you want to go deep |
Chopping
| Content | Uploader | Length | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Learn chopping from zero, Ep. 1: grip and twiddling(opens in new window) | PingPangWang | 3 min | Grip and twiddling are the first gate — don’t skip |
| How Joo Se-hyuk trains his chopping(opens in new window) | pingpongzzz | 7 min | Training footage from an elite chopper; watch the footwork and balance rather than the arm |
Penhold reverse backhand
| Content | Uploader | Scale | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wang Hao: penhold reverse backhand (grip, serve, drive, flick, attack, rally)(opens in new window) | PP Table Tennis | 6 parts, 41 min | The source material for this technique. Six parts form one complete chain |
| Zou Yang: penhold reverse backhand, complete(opens in new window) | PP Table Tennis | 19 parts, ~1h41m | Many camera angles; good to follow along |
| Wong Chun-ting: penhold reverse backhand (Butterfly official)(opens in new window) | Lingpai Table Tennis | 5 parts | Brand-produced official tutorial; good picture and demonstration angles |
4. Equipment and hands-on work
| Content | Uploader | Length | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gluing your own rubber, step by step, no speed-up(opens in new window) | Ookura-Saika | 15 min | If it’s your first time gluing, this is all you need |
| For beginners: blades worth owning from $15 to $140(opens in new window) | Xinghua Fei | 35 min | Organised by budget, which beats “is model X any good” |
| Cheng Jingqi: don’t buy a blade at random, pick it this way(opens in new window) | Table Tennis Girl | 4 min | A former national-team player’s selection logic, in four minutes |
| Good alternatives to Hurricane 3: Donic C1, C2 and others compared(opens in new window) | Table Tennis Is F | 13 min | Useful as a method if you want to run your own comparisons |
Video reviews settle direction, not feel. Before buying, read our gear buying list and decide what you actually need.
5. Complete matches: watch whole, not highlights
Highlight reels are fun but teach almost nothing — slow motion and editing flatten the rhythm, and rhythm is exactly the hardest part of table tennis. If you want to study, find full replays.
| Content | Uploader | Length | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paris 2024 men’s singles quarter-final: Fan Zhendong vs Harimoto Tomokazu (full)(opens in new window) | Olympic Games (official) | 1h14m | Posted by the official Olympic account; good quality. Watch only one player’s feet and recovery |
| 2021 Nanyang trials mixed doubles final: Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha vs Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen (CCTV commentary)(opens in new window) | individual upload | 1h37m | Doubles shows positioning and giving way — the cooperation logic is clearer than in singles |
| 2013 Paris World Championships men’s singles final: Zhang Jike vs Wang Hao(opens in new window) | individual upload | 13 parts | A decade-old style; interesting side by side with today’s game |
How to use it: don’t watch the whole match. Pick one player’s single technique — say, only his feet after every stroke — and watch it in slow motion twenty times. That beats sitting through the match. See the video learning resource map for the method.
6. Tactics and match breakdowns: understand the why
| Content | Uploader | Length | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Understanding Harimoto Tomokazu in one sitting — hardcore tactics(opens in new window) | Azhi | 26 min | Explains one player’s whole technical system; good for learning how to watch a player |
| Hardcore tactics, part 1: what new technique won Wang Chuqin the Worlds?(opens in new window) | Azhi | 14 min | Works backwards from matches to technique changes — a method worth copying |
The point of tactical content is the reasoning, not the conclusion. Two analysts can give opposite readings of the same rally, and that’s normal.
How to use this list without wasting your time
- Practice first, watch second. Hit the problem first, then come back with a question. Reverse the order and video becomes entertainment.
- Film yourself. Prop your phone at the side, record thirty seconds, and compare frame by frame with the tutorial. “I thought I was doing it” and “I was doing it” differ by exactly this step.
- Change one thing at a time. Grip, wrist and weight transfer all at once means you end up back where you started.
- Turn autoplay off. A playlist will drag you from study mode into watching mode.
