    So... I saw some ideas like this floating around on other threads, and just wanted to make an official thread where everyone can compile a list of kendama tricks' names in a medieval / mythical sense.



    Ye olde Medieval book of Kendama Tricks:

    -Excalibur (airplane)
    >Origin: King Arthur's Sword

    -Mdjolnir (Lunar)
    >Origin: Thor's Hammer

    -Hangman (Funhouse)
    >Origin: An execution practice

    -Hlifian (Lighthouse)
    >Origin: An old English word to say "tower"

    -Bolcar (Yank Spike)
    >Origin: Catalan word for Capsize

    -Coranar (Solar Flare)
    >Origin: The Solar cycle in Lord of the Rings

    -Round Table (Turntable)
    >Origin: Knights of the round table

    -Avus (Bird)
    >Origin: Latin for bird

    -The Three Musketeers (Around Europe)

    -Durandal (Downspike)
    >Origin: A sword from Fire Emblem


    Feel free to give recommendations!
