Every yoyo player should play Kendama. Why? Well, while yoyos offer limitless creativity and fun, there’s an entire other world of skill toys that can provide fresh challenges. Kendamas provide transferable skills to yoyos, a similiar learning curve, and endless creative trick possibilities.
What is a Kendama?
A kendama is a traditional Japanese skill toy that has been enjoyed for many generations. It consists of a wooden ball (tama) attached to a handle (ken) by a string. The goal is to swing the ball and catching it on the various cups or landing it on the spike. This traditional toy helps to develop excellent hand and eye coordination, balance, precise movements which can be valuable to any yoyo player.
Why Kendamas and Yoyos are a Perfect Pair
If you’re already passionate about yoyoing, adding another skill toy like kendama makes perfect sense. Here’s why the YoYoFactory Kendama complements your yoyo journey:
