    What do it include?

    Good lighting, padded flooring, homies, music, maybe an edit playing in the background? Coffee? Beer? An unlimited supply of pizza? Lets hear it!

    Something like a dance studio. Large space, well lit, bluetooth enabled speakers, a wall thats a mirror, a wall opposite of that wall thats all glass with a view, WiFi to stream music, a good amount of herb & brew. Maybe cams mounted around the room to get some footage.

    Edit: being a custodian at a middle school we have this awesome rubber like padding on the floor in the gym. That would be sick to have.

    Yes.

    I do agree, some good lighting and some kind of spot for filming might be really nice for folks that don't have the tools or help elsewhere. Might also be cool to start gathering footage from said spot over a longer period of time. Almost like signing a wall or something, someone who was willing could probably put together something really neat using footage over years, etc. You never know when the next world champ stops by to play before they become amazing.

    Boba is my go-to drink when I Kendama too! You can drink and chew yummy goodness, while jamming at the same time! I usually play Kendama with gum or candy in my mouth if I'm not drinking tea or coffee.

    For some reason, I just love jamming in my kitchen. The tile floors keep my feet cool, it's close by to the water dispenser/coffee maker/fridge for refueling, and the lighting is pretty decent. It's definitely not an ideal place to film. However, it's mostly where I practice, and it's a place where I first played at when I started playing Kendama. It's always been my comfort zone, and if I'm comfortable with where I jam, I'm good to go!

    I also enjoy jamming in my patio. It's often shaded, so I'm not playing under the hot sun, but there's enough light to see. My mom's plants keep me company.

    the Ideal jam includes

    A huge room with 20 foot cielings for the ideal quint spacewalks. as well as a 10 ft long table filled with pizza, donuts, candy, milkshakes and every candy you could think of

    Also it includes the homies, I love jamming with other people. jamming by yourself is not nearly as much fun and jamming with the bros.

    I do not like listening to music when jamming. Of course I will still jam if there is music I just don't like it.

    And the last thing there is 100 cans of mountain dew

    Beer? That messes with my coordination and hand eye movements. Maybe more like meditation right before I sesh

    Definitely prefer the outdoors. Natural lighting, some good jams or videos playing, something good to quench my thirst, and yes @htimSxelA an ENDLESS SUPPLY OF PIZZA!
    If I'm indoors, prefer padded/carpeted floors and good lighting along with everything else I already mentioned.
    It's great to jam with others, but I mostly play solo because adulting is time consuming.

    - Padded floors
    - High ceilings
    - Well lit (like, super well lit with soft light)
    - Air conditioned, and well ventilated
    - Bean bag cushions!
    - Endless supply of plain water and ice
    - Super cool backdrop, like a wall of kens
    - A screen playing the latest edits and the timeless classics, on loop
    - A gigantic kendama that everyone can sign on!

    Carpeted floor and a loud speaker. In a big room large enough to do spacewalks.
