What is Kendama?
| Kendama is the ultimate form of the traditional ball and cup game. Originating in Japan, Kendama has captivated the world with its simple design and endless freestyle trick possibilities. In an age where electronic entertainment is dominant, Kendama offers hours of authentic hands on fun, and can truly be taken anywhere. Once you have it in your hands, good luck putting it down! With no moving parts, Kendama is deceptively simple at first glance. The simplicity makes it enjoyable for the beginner and also gives it its infinite playability. The audience for Kendama is unlike most other skill sports (yo-yos, juggling, etc.) in that you do not have to be a freak of nature to master it. In fact, a first timer will have no problem at all getting the ball on to one of the cups. At no point in the progression from humble newbie to Kendama expert will you be faced with an impossible next step. The way the tricks build on each other, what was challenging one day will become common-place the next as you excel. |
