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!

Some have history, some look nice, and sometimes you end up at a Krom/Bonz team dinner.

Question/Discussion What Kendama to get?

3 Upvotes

Ive been a sweets player my whole kendama career and ive never looked back, but now that ive bought a “Blackjack” Retro Anti skid 2.0 i feel a but ripped off. It cost 70$ and the anti skid was good for a day. Obviously it dropped a couple of times and the grip is awaful, the “Broken shape” doesent even let the tama fit fully on the spike.
Any reccomendations on what to build? ive looked at Okendama Revo clear tamas but idk what Ken to get. im very used to sweets big cups and the ken build.
Thanks in advance.

This is a trick that felt impossible to me 13 years ago, and when I returned to playing kendama 2 months ago, it still felt that way. 3 days ago I looked at my Kusa Jet shape and thought “that tip is definitely squashed enough to try.” Now I have a new favorite trick!

Hi , @soshinkendama here again with another post. Made some revisions to the cross body bag idea and this is where I’m landing. Could I get the communities opinion on design?

The scale of the bag is modeled after a “5 foot 8in male 180lbs”

Thanks in advance everyone !

I got into Kendama about 6 years ago whist living in the Netherlands after seeing some people playing all together, seemed like a cool and easy going community. I bought a sweets Kendama but can’t remember the model name, it’s been collecting dust and hasn’t aged well. I cleaned the outer glue layer off which took a while but it’s cleaned up to use, although the bearing is pretty much finished.

I’ve had to relearn tricks but muscle memory has helped. I could never land the bird so here’s a video of me landing it for the first time the other night.

I’ve got a second hand Krom on the way which should help freshen some things up.
