Hey DS community! https://m.facebook.com/groups/502783800570014 The KFZ is a resource where the Kendama enthusiasts of Memphis and the mid-south can connect and discover local events and jams. A goal of the KFZ is to help foster kendama awareness in the greater Memphis area, and demonstrate the value that kendama holds not only as a simple and fun wooden toy but as a tool for personal growth. “Improving yourself everyday,” is an essential element of the kendama-dō, the “way” or “path” of kendama, a concept described by John Geron of the Japan Kendama Association. “In Kendama-dō through practice you train your body and mind to move yourself higher, to become better; to be a person of not only of skill but integrity. Every activity from practicing and being taught to participating in a match are all considered training to cultivate yourself.” Discovering kendama is an enlightening experience, and hopefully the KFZ will facilitate a connection between Memphis and the global Kendama community. Thanks to all of the people that are helping make this happen and to anyone who wants to come out and have a kendama session. The meetups will be announced periodically in the public FB group and @Dama_Tommy on IG.
CANADA kitchener/waterloo Ontario to be specific. Cant say we have the biggest community but I really want to change that or find the other slayers!!! If your close to the area I'd love to meet up somewhere mutual for a jam!!
Yooo I went to Purdue!!! I live in Indy now though. DM me on my Instagram @tomo.dama so we can connect!
Nice! I tend to visit relatives in Milwaukee in the summer. Hoping to visit sometime this year. Any stores there that sell kendamas?
Southern Minnesota here and don't know anyone that plays besides me (well I did get my daughter hooked and working on my wife now)
Anyone in the Munice IN/ Ball State area looking to sesh this summer? I've got a couple of friends that play but are looking to connect a bigger community
@CYHTGRASSHOPPER There were some players in the DFW and Austin areas but not sure if they're still active. You might also check on Kendama Discord Server to see if you can connect with anyone for a virtual meetup too.
There used to be an old stand called Klack Shack, but I’m not sure if they’re still there anymore. However, there’s still Kendama OC! Check their page out on Instagram.
