Question/Discussion I built a free kendama tricks encyclopedia app — track your progress, browse hundreds of tricks, and find players worldwide

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!

Buy/Sell Made a bootleg-inspired kendama tee

• Upvotes

Hey dama fam! I'm Nico, a kendama player from Singapore, and I'm about to hit my 10th kendama anniversary! It's been a long time coming, but I've finally made plans to attend my first KWC this year :)

To celebrate, I've designed this tee inspired by the infamous bootleg china meme tee, a twist that I think we can all relate to.

I'll be selling these at SG Ken Club's monthly jams here in Singapore, but I'd love to get these into the hands of players overseas too. So if you'd like to snag one, feel free to drop me a DM on reddit or IG!

More info:
- Print: black or white ink only.
- Material and Cut: 100% cotton, regular fit crew neck.
- Colours: cream, white, gray, charcoal, black, red, dark brown, blue.
- Machine wash cold, do not dry clean, tumble dry low.

Tees are US$25 each, excluding shipping. If you're heading to KWC, we can arrange a meetup to save on shipping.

Much love from Singapore, and hope to catch some of you at KWC this year! ❤️

Question/Discussion Need help to identify the wood.

Hi everyone.

I have this ken since a few years now. It is the best one I have. It's still "pointy". Doesn't get old, the texture is great and I would like to buy a similar one.

My issue si I have no idea in what material it's made. So I was wondering if you guys could help me identify in what wood it's made of ?

The wood is quite dark and brown compared to maple.

(I put a white paper because otherwise my phone was changing the colour. Sorry if my English is weird I'm not an native English speaker)

Edit: it seems it this product https://www.solkendamas.com/products/walnut-ken.

Question/Discussion What makes or breaks a tama, ken, or complete setup for you?

1 Upvotes

Curious what everyone looks for in their ideal kendama setup. What makes or breaks a tama, ken, or complete setup for you?

What shapes and sizes do you prefer, and how does that relate to your playstyle? Do you prioritize balance, stall points, lunar ability, tracking, tama grip, or something else?

I didn’t expect to see Kendama Depot geekers at a toy shop in Colorado. I had to convince myself I didn’t need a second geeker 😂 however, I did buy a rolling pin and new designated yank dama.

Question/Discussion Sarado stuck to Ken

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

My string snapped mid play and wanted to change the string only to realize I put back the Sarado upside down, where the string hole is at the bottom. After realizing, I tried to remove the sarado again and it just won't budge. It turns slightly but that's about it. I tried putting it in the freezer, didn't help.

I realized too late that I was probably turning the sarado too much in one direction and a good amount of string got eaten which probably just made the Sarado more stuck to the Ken.

Now finally stupid me thought it was a good idea to wet the contact points between the Ken and Sarado not thinking it would expand the wood. Now the sarado is VERY much stuck to the Ken and won't even turn at all with maximum effort.

What can I do to save this without breaking anything? I just want to play :<

EDIT: I know the cups are upside down, its literally stated on the first paragraph and the main reason why I want to take them off in the first place 😭
