Does anybody else on SRK own a Kendama? I’ve been playing with this thing for like, two weeks now and I’m hooked. It seriously is just too good, I figured I’d share because it seems like the kinda thing you guys would dig.

Yeah it’s basically pro cup and ball. There are a lot of tournaments/ competitions for this thing too.
Like I said, TOO GOOD! :smokin:
my Japanese teacher brought a kendama to class one day and had us all try it. one cup was smaller than the other cup. i got the smaller cup first try and screamed out “NINJAAAAAA” and didn’t try it again. i retired with 100% success rate, bitches
ur acting like this is some new craze… this game is old. i mean i’m glad that the youth are having fun discovering ancient technology, but keep your pants on.
you know that phrase, “this is not your grandmother’s game”… well kendama literally is “your grandmother’s game”.
But things go in and out of popularity; from what I can tell is that it’s on the rise at the moment (not saying it’s a huge success). It may be an old and simple game (apparently it originated from France 1600’s?) but that is no reason not to play it. In fact the simplicity of it is kinda what interests me about it, and I just wanted to see if anyone on SRK had the fever.
I have one. I used it a lot at first and got pretty decent by my standards. But then I didn’t think it was worth it to invest more time in it. Now I bring it out for a few minutes occasionally.
this reminds me of that guy who thought he had the best game ever. some black guy…the videos used to be all over srk. i forget the name of the game though
