    For lack of a more concise title for this thread, what are weird things you find yourself doing while seshing? Some of us may be so deep in the "HoneZone" that we lose track of what we do while playing kendama (which is not in itself bad, cause it just means we're supremely focused on lacing that trick).

    On my part, I find myself biting my lower lip unconsciously. Kind of like when Michael Jordan sticks his tongue out when playing.

    I find myself holding my one hand waist level with a clenched fist and it's hard to break that habit

    Same, I noticed it because when I broke my wrist the bone punctured a tendon and I can't completely make a fist. I was playing lefty and I tried making a fist with my right hand but it hurt like crazy!

    I don't know about you guys but if I'm unconscious while I'm playing kendama I've got some serious problems going on.
