Discover Endless Fun with Kendamas – Suitable for All Ages!

Whether you're taking a breather from extreme rides or aiming to wow your friends with mind-blowing tricks, Kendamas are your go-to source of entertainment. Originating from Japan, these wooden toys feature a handle (ken), a pair of cups (sarado), and a ball (tama) connected by a string. The challenge? Balance and perform tricks with the ball on the handle or cups. The beauty of Kendama lies in its lack of strict rules, making it accessible to everyone. Express your creativity by inventing gravity-defying tricks – it's pure, unbridled fun that helps develop balance, focus, and reflexes.

Kendama isn't just a toy; it's a thriving side-sport in many action sports communities. With countless tricks to master, emphasis on creativity, focus, and step-by-step progression, Kendama replicates the thrill of learning an action sport.

Origins of Kendama

Initially inspired by the French cup-and-ball game bilboquet, Kendama evolved into its present form in Japan. Translating to "sword ball," it has been a beloved childhood toy in Japan for years. The size and design have evolved, turning Kendama into a global phenomenon, transcending its roots.
