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:
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!

🎬 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)

I’ve been really into kendama for a few years now, but I only feel comfortable playing with my toy at home. I just feel childish playing with my toy in front of others. Is it just me? Any tips to not feel embarrassed ?

I ordered my first kendama from krom kendamas shop Europe, and they haven't sent it out or sent me any updates even though I ordered it about four weekdays ago. Is it normal for them to take it so long with the packing?
r/Kendama • u/tagena123 • 1d ago
I’m looking for a really tacky tama that is good for balance tricks like border balance and lean lighthouse. Any recommendations of specific paint or brands that I should look into?
r/Kendama • u/apexExtinction • 1d ago
Id really like to get my hands on one but can only find 1 listed online if anyone has one they would like to get rid of please dm me!
r/Kendama • u/grantbm • 1d ago
Big thanks to everyone who came out to play kendama, land new tricks, compete, and hang out at Jam No. 2!
Next Jam is Saturday, August 1, 2026, at Trinity Bellwoods Park. See you there!
r/Kendama • u/Final_Ad_8276 • 18h ago
As the title says, where do you recommend? Just anything besides sweets, id rather not support a brand that cant keep stock in for signature kendamas and 0 customer service, who do you buy from?
edit - from Aussie land.

The Kendamanomics Fundamentals are almost done but the last ones are so hard.
r/Kendama • u/themilkmantv • 2d ago
if anybody has tested it out, and seen how it is, leave your thoughts in the comments because I'm curious to hear about it.

Also I think somebody had made a post about walking and kenning at the same time and somebody else had made a post or had a discussion at least about POV filming and I’ve been having so much fun experimenting with walking and kenning and POV filming, strongly recommend everyone to try it out if you never have

Been trying to quit smoking so in the morning when I really want one I play. Snagged this.

Big fan of painting my Kendamas it has been really helpful with tracking as a beginner and also adds a little bit of flair. The Winner Shark Ken really showed me the way of the painted Ridge!
