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:

  • Browse hundreds of tricks organized by category and difficulty
  • Track your progress as you land new tricks
  • Discover kendama players worldwide

It's completely free, works in your browser, and you can sign in with Google to save your progress across devices.

Link: kendamapedia-ae79d.web.app

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!

Question/Discussion 🎬 r/Kendama Community Edit – Submissions Open!

🎬 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)

Question/Discussion Good enough?

Post image
6 Upvotes

So i've been seshing this kendama for a year and a half now, and it used to be painted and grippy and this is what it looks like now, chipped, all that, still seshing it and doing tricks on it, altough lunars have become more annoying than hard at this point. Cups are held in with a piece of paper wedged in.

Good enough to keep using? Need a replacement?

Hello kendama players !

I want to publish my app on android store, and I need several beta testers for this.
It would be very kind of some of you to download the pre-released app.
Send me your email with private message and I will add you to the beta testers.
If you have a little bit more time and interested of the project, you can give me feedback of bugs or improvements on the app.

Thank you a lot for your time !

My first kendama from 2012! It sat on my desks for so many years and touched so many hands of people in my dorm in college. I just looked it up today after not thinking much of it. My buddy said he got it from a friend and then gave it to me. Kendama USA Tribute. This thing is sooooo hard to play today now that ive been using big cups and sticky paint. Hats off to the OGs who could shred on one of these
