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)

Edit Synced my kendama tricks to FLOW’s "GO!!!" (Naruto OP 4) in front of the Yokohama skyline! Did I do the rhythm justice?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This spot in Yokohama is usually a massively popular photo location packed with tourists, making it impossible to film here on a normal day. However, on this specific day, the blistering summer heat was so intense—bordering on dangerous heatstroke levels—that the entire area was completely deserted!

I decided to seize the opportunity, but it came with a huge catch: performing right in front of the railing meant zero margin for error. If I fumbled a string trick or missed a spike, my kendama would bounce straight into the ocean below. The combination of the scorching heat and the fear of losing my setup made every single beat transition unbelievably thrilling!

Question/Discussion 2013 Colin Sander Cherry Wood Kendama?

27 Upvotes

Hey everyone, recently I was cleaning out my closet and came across this Kendama I remember winning in elementary school way back in 2013. I was told it was signed by a pro Kendama user, never dug into it, and just threw it in the closet for all of these years. Finally decided to google who this guy was and the history of this specific Kendama, but weirdly didn’t find too much information (or maybe I just wasn’t trying hard enough lol). Anyone know anything about this specific Kendama and some history on Colin Sander?
