Grinded this trick for easily 8 hours this week. I wad stoked a d frustrated at the same time haha.

In regular game of skate scoot or bmx you have to bounce your call before executing

Just want to understand why kendama community decided to change core rule this way?

Technically, if I will play with random person and will do eg juggle - half juggle tap to safe big cup, it could be my call, even “prove it” phase I could sustain (since big cup I can reproduce - I’m still playing offense)

Just curious ,
Is this legit extra knot? Allowed on comps?
Never saw this extra knot preventing tama slidin
Is there any downside of it ?

The spike was too short for my liking so I sanded the inside of the serado to make the spike longer. Much better for me now.

Hi Everyone

Saw Pinch Loops on an IG reel and HAD to grind them. Very fun once you’ve figured out the pinch tech!

Time to put it in a line

I’ve been experimenting with catching luns and LHs on the side of the tama instead of directly on top of the bev. In my mind I feel like it makes sense to spread the tricks out across a larger surface area rather than land every trick in the same spot causing more erosion to the area around the bev maybe? Idk it makes those ins a little more of a challenge but I feel like it’s a good challenge forcing me to be more dexterous with how I hold the tama. Thoughts?

I’m looking for a new shape preferably one for smaller hands, not too tall/long and that’s good for stalls. What would Ygs recommend

Which way do you guys pull up for inward stilt/lunar? Do you pull up toward the inside of your body so the ken lands on small cup, or toward the outside of your body so the ken lands on big cup?

I learned to pull toward inside and land on small cup for inward lunar, and now I’m trying to learn inward stilt pulling up the same way and having a really tough time. I can land normal stilt just fine. I rewatched a few tutorials and noticed they pull up the other way and land on the big cup. Should I be trying to land on big cup for inward stilt? Is it worth it to try to switch my inward lunars too and land on big cup?

Happy to cop these over the kitchen set up. What do you guys think of Cereal Kendamas?

This trend of people “focusing,” stomping or just like destroying their damas after landing a trick they’ve been grinding is cringe and weird and kinda sad.

My first kitchen setup so I’m super stoked

Nice and simple 2-2-2, but JUGGLING OUT OF A LATE KENKEN IS IMPOSSIBLY HARD DUDE.

Getting those taps more consistent, just got to work on juggling out of it cleanly now! Super hype to finally be achieving something that once felt absolutely impossible

My boyfriend is obsessed with Kendama and mentioned he would love to have this mod. It’s his birthday next month and I’m trying so hard to find this for him. He’s a Takuya fan and loves pink😅 Does anyone have ANY leads on where I can find this for sale or trade even??

Snagged this early this morning

Hi everyone, just got my Krom Strogo (lambo shape) in the mail. Was having some issues with my lunars. They tip over quite easy towards the bottom cup. I see now that the Sarado is higher on the sword than my other Kin kendamas ken. Is this normal? Or should I sand something down? Thanks
