So I have been playing kendama for about a week now. I made a little video to track my progress.  
Please forgive the appalling video quality, boring location, bad editing, and low skill level. 😛

That is awesome man! I just got my first kendama tonight and hope I’m that good in a weeks time 🙂 I think I saw you on the [kendama.co.uk](http://kendama.co.uk) forums as well, I just joined today and just made a post on the Kendama I received. Keep up the great work man!

NANI?!!?

You have only been playing kendama for a week and can do all that already?

Darn, I commend you dude. I could never have learned to do it that fast.

Especially the spiking part, so difficult…

Anyway, awesome edit. Can’t wait to see what you can do with a month.
