There are a couple combos I like to do:
Spike - Earth turn - Swing (?? I don’t know the English name of this trick. Hold the string, swing the ken around and catch the tama in the base cup) - underhand spike
and
Airplane - Jumping Stick - Swap (?? Again… After catching the ken in the tama (like after airplane), throw them into the air and catch the tama in the base cup) - underhand spike
Last week, I got:
Lighthouse - spike - jumping stick - jumping stick - swap - underhand spike
That last one is my most ambitious kendama feat to date.
As for something new, I’ve learned small bird recently. That’s my newest thing. Still pretty inconsistent. The only trick I don’t seem to have more of an advantage with on a Musou, surprisingly.

Getting consistent at landing earth turn is so hard. Of course I thought a normal spike use to be super hard so I’m sure I’ll get it eventually. I’ve only been kendamaing (?maybe?) for 4 days ;D

Mugen musou, sparkling green and snow gold.
Glad you guys enjoyed it!
I promise a better edit once i have better tools.
@ J Singh 2K,
there’s a very old Japanese tip on learning Lighthouse.
- Start by just placing the ken on the tama and move your arms around gently in a circle (you’ll offset the balance, and naturally you’ll try to regain it).
- When comfortable, lift the ken up (at the spike tip) about 1cm from the tama and drop it back on the tama, and do your best to gain control.
- When you get more comfortable, incrementally lift the ken higher until you feel confident.
