Hey guys, I think I want to start kendama, but I have no idea where to start. Any recommendations on a fairly cheap, but nice kendama? I was looking at the sweets focus kendama. Is that good? Also, is there like a tutorial website? I know yye doesn’t have one, and I think it would be a lot easier to learn with tutorials.  
Thanks!

Check out the British Kendama Association. You can just google it. They also have a nice forum. Great web site and nice group of players!

Thanks! I went ahead and ordered me and my brother a sweets focus. Was that a good buy?

Sure. They have really great colors and paint. Be aware that if you are just beginning you will tear up the kendama pretty bad. Both paint and cups. It’s just part of the play. I have a blue Tribute that was my first Kendama and it looks really bad. Still plays well, though. Keep practicing and enjoy your kendama.
