Hey guys! I’m new here. I just wanted to say hi and drop this new video by. I understand that much of the yoyo world is becoming intrigued by kendama.

Check out my friend Iji bringing a new style to kendama in Japan!

Hell YEAH!  
kids got Styyyyyle

very nice to see more expression with the toy, I feel it suffers in the same way that yoyo does/did for many years in the whole ‘people standing virtually motionless looking down between their hands’ sort of way.

cracking job matt 🙂

Thanks Paul!

Yeah Iji = style for days. Definitely good to have some people in the “sport” who are pushing style in both kendama and yoyo.
