Description
This Kendama is a stylish and deceptively addictive wooden skill game that originated in Japan nearly 100 years ago. It challenges your physical and mental abilities while naturally strengthening your hand-eye coordination, balance, focus, and reflex. Popular in Japanese culture for decades, Kendama is quickly spreading around the globe. Literally translated as “sword ball”, the Kendama is made of the “Ken” (handle) and the “Tama” (ball), which is connected by a string. Thousands of tricks exist already, and more are being invented as the game grows in popularity. Most tricks are done by tossing and catching the ball in the 3 cups, spiking the ball with the Ken spike, and challenging your dexterity with precision balancing skills. The first tricks are simple to learn, but true mastery takes practice, focus, discipline, and creativity.
