Just heard about Kendama. Looks pretty sick. Wondering if anyone has anything to say about it and if they would recommend it. And wondering if its worth the buy.

Alread a thread about this.


Also, SO last year.


Blew up in the PNW for about a year last year. Everyone carried them araound at school, some kids made edits, I just got stoned and played with mine. Still mess with it when I'm bored but I don't hardly use it anymore. They're a great time waster and super fun and addicting once you learn the basics.

Fuck if I know, but they've faded quick. Just know going in that you're gonna fuck uop and break/chip your first one but by that time you're gonna be hooked and go buy another one. I'd say def worth it though. Tons of fun especially if your friend have them cuz you can learn cool tricks and show up your friends.

I play kendama a lot. I have an Ozora and a Sweets Focus. They are both really good imo.

I was really into kendama for about a year, and I currently own about 5 of them. But i'm starting not to play as much anymore. They are really fun at first, and it is fun to progress and stuff. I would recommend getting one.

It's sick. Just get one and use it a lot. It's not "last year" it's just a sick thing to pass the time.

This shit seems so incredibly lame like the losers who do light shows with glowsticks or swing fireballs around. Grow up.

We need to grow up? We are the ones that are mature enough to realize life is not about gaining strangers' approval.

Perhaps I am just a senile "old" guy, but after a point you realize that everyone in life judges you. Who you work with, who your friends are, your hobbies, etc. Do what you like, but don't be surprised when people judge you for it.

Ozora is by far the best JKA certified dama out there. But to tell you the truth, if you are a beginner I would highly recommend getting a TK-16 master kendama. They are pretty durable and good for just learning.

That's what I thought then I got one and they're entertaining as fuck.

And to above post, yeah a TK-16 master is good beginner because they are durable and you will put your first one or two through hell for sure.
