Agreed, this thread should go in the skill toy forum. But kendamas look fun, for some reason everybody and their brother has one now. ---

Kind of like yoyo’s then :wink: If you watch some of Sweets Kendama Edits you can learn some really nice tricks. I find kendama easier to pick up complex tricks because there isn’t anything about the string or string layers, where to place the string etc. ---

Hi everyone, this thread popped up via some googling. First, the intro, hi, I’m Void, been yo-yoing for nearly 20 years. Oldschooler. 🙂 Don’t do much throwing now, I’m all about the kendama these days. Seems to be quite a few throwers drifting over into the kendama sphere recently, so I thought I’d give you a bit of a heads up on some starter stuff: Firstly, there’s a lot of beginner info and general information on [http://kendama.co.uk](http://kendama.co.uk) , including a player’s forum. All kendama-curious folks are welcome to come on over and say hi in the forum there. A beginners FAQ is here: [FAQ - newbies start here! :-)](http://kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,6.0.html) …and a bunch of simple basic tutorials (focusing on good technique) are here: [http://kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,905.0.html](http://kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,905.0.html) Okay, ciao for now, click click!!

Putting more links to what The Void said. For you US beginners you have [http://sweetskendamas.com/](http://sweetskendamas.com/) and [http://kengarden.tumblr.com/](http://kengarden.tumblr.com/) if you don’t want to go to a UK site all the time. ---

I think kendamausa and yoyo expert should sort of like merge as advertise/ sell some basic items of the others store. I bought a Kendama from Kendamausa and I have no problems with shipping or anything. I just prefer to buy from yoyo expert. ---

Airplane, throw to Sara grip bottom cup, down spike, throw to lighthouse, in, jumping stick. Not a beginner trick but it’s my favorite combo
