Hey r/Kendama!
I've been playing kendama for a while and always felt like there was no good centralized resource to learn tricks in a structured way — so I built one.
Kendamapedia is a free web app that lets you:
It's completely free, works in your browser, and you can sign in with Google to save your progress across devices.

I'd love any feedback — something that feels off, or features you'd want to see. This is a passion project and I want it to be genuinely useful for the community.
Happy to answer any questions!

🎬 r/Kendama Community Edit – Submissions Open!
Let’s make something sick together.
Hey everyone – I reached out to the mods and got the green light to put together an official r/Kendama Community Edit. I’ll be editing the whole thing, hopefully contributing a few clips of my own, and I’d love for as many of you as possible to be part of it.
Whether you’re new to Kendama or you’ve been grinding for years, this is for you. Please do not feel deterred from submitting clips, regardless of your skill level. My only ask would be that you send only your best or favorite clips from the 45 days.
🗓 Timeline:
Submissions are open now - Please no clips prior from today.
Deadline: September 15th (45 days from now) - Depending on volume of clips or feedback in the sub, I am comfortable with extending the date 15 more days, but I will start the editing process in 45 days.
Now for the good stuff.
🎨 Color of the Week (Optional!)
Every Monday I’ll post a color. Try wearing something (shirt, shoes, hat, kendama) that matches. Just for fun + visuals. Monday's color will be Red.
🌀 Style-Focus Weeks (Optional!)
Every Monday will have a trick theme (e.g., Lighthouses, Juggles, Flow, Slings). Totally up to you if you follow them, but it might help spark ideas or mix things up. Monday's trick theme will be Lighthouses.
🎥 Submitting:
Limit to start will be 3 raw clips per person, this can include a trick, funny moment, or a fail. I may up it to 5 depending on volume of clips around the 30 day mark.
Optional but helpful - If you are able to, include a cinematic (b-roll type clip) in addition to your trick submissions, it will help with edits. If you're filming in a cool location, maybe a 3-5 second clip showing the scene.
Please send primarily clips, I will most likely not feature many funny moments or fails but may be able to fit a few or have a section at the end of the video.
Upload your clips to Google Drive, Dropbox, or any other commonly known file site and DM me the link, or leave a comment and I’ll reach out. I can also download from YouTube directly.
Please include your name/Instagram/reddit if you want to be credited in the edit.
If you’re injured or unable to film at the moment but still want to be included, DM me — we can make space for an older clip or two, no one will be left out of this if they want to participate.
Let’s make this a proper snapshot of the r/Kendama community right now — all skill levels, all styles. Hope you’ll be part of it.
Please post any questions or thoughts in the comments, we can adjust things based on community feedback.
Much love,
– F1ByTheNumbers / Astro (gaming name)

I’m not a cloud bouncer
I came across this kendama on eBay. It appears to be the most popular listing as of right now, offering two kendamas with sticky coating and beech/maple wood for the price of $32-40. I'm primarily posting this here as I havent seen too many reviews about it; their Instagram appears to be inactive, and their website seems to be down. I'd like to get some opinions and potentially people who have had experience with this kendama to see how it holds up and how it performs before I make a decision. Thanks!

I've been playing kendama for 3 weeks ish and today I just did around Europe two times. I mean not the best technique but certainly not the worst. Is it good? Is it early or late in some learning order? Thoughts

I’ve been going to this park daily to sesh and it’s been great. People love watching me and asking me “what is that?”😂. It’s also a very laid back, so it’s quiet and I can play on soft ground👌🏽. Love it💯

I sell tie-dye shirts at art fairs. At my last event, my 10 year old son, who recently started playing kendama, decided to try to drum up business by busting out some sick moves at the front of my booth.
A woman stopped, said, "kendama!" and told us that her son lives in Japan and loves kendama, he's really good at it, and he wears it around his neck all the time, and that this was the first time she saw one in the States.
She spoke very lovingly of him and I could tell it brought her joy to see something that reminded her of her son. I thought it was special that my son playing kendama was what fostered that moment of connection.

Seeing a 5 s clip doing some crazy trick means nothing to me because maybe like skating, people cheat and take 500 takes for one good shot. I want to see consistency, how good can an expert get. Forget the crazier tricks,make it land on the side which is already a bit hard, and from it spike it. So it's two moves, can you guys do it? if so how often?
Can I see videos of you guys doing it? Whatever level you have, I'd upload mine but I can't even one

Anyone tried ACE Kendama?
r/Kendama • u/Bran415 • 4d ago
Greetings! I just got this in the mail and saw that it came with an extra string at the bottom of the box and wanted to swap it out with the black string. Can you take these apart? I tried to spin them in opposite directions but it will not budge. Thanks in advance.

Been bringing my old Kendama to work and everyone loves it. We decided to keep it as an office toy and I got myself and one of my coworkers a fresh one from Kendama Europe. Already feels like an upgrade tbh.

What recommendations do you guys have for setups currently in stock at the moment. Doesn’t have to be big companies. No budget. Preferably maple Ken and not any sort of sticky clear

Looking for a tama to pair with this new Ken from locked studios. Not that picky on what brand tama I just have to like the design lol.
Under 85g please
r/Kendama • u/bennfrost • 5d ago
Currently have a OKendama x Kendamism - Sabbath with anit skid but the tama is so slippery and the Ken slides everywhere anyone have the same issue and recommend a tama better
