My name's James Hoang. I'm 13 years old as of right now, and while I do live in San Jose, CA, I go to school in Milpitas, CA. I started playing kendama around August 2014, and I like to play kendama because not only does it relieve stress for me, but it also allows me to create more combos and have fun with friends. I got into kendama when my brother saw a kid at a summer school with one while he was on duty, and I've been hooked on it ever since. My Instagram is @redninja25718(I changed it to @james_hoang25718), and also follow @KendamaUSA and @sweetskendama because they are two of the best brands of kendamas that I have played!
Hey guys,my name is Danial and I am from Singapore.Been playing kendama since November 2015,so I'm not really that good.Basically,my passion for kendama began when the trend took over the whole of Singapore and everyone was playing with it.A lot of people judge me for playing with kendama saying things like "You're turning 16.Grow up."But to be honest I never really cared.It's my passion and I actually wanna do something engaging other than staring at my phone screen for hours.My first kendama was a Kaizen from KUSA(they make real good kendamas,go cop one.).So yeah that's pretty much it.Please do follow me on Instagram @kenqill.Thank you very much.
I've been actively reading the forums and what not for a few weeks now and I'm just now getting around to posting in this thread cause i wanted to start getting involved a bit more and what not cause there's not to much kendama activity around me... to my knowledge anyways. My name is Chance and I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio and I've been playing kendama on and off since May. Ive been doing cardistry for about 2 years also but have lost interest and this past month I've really started picking up the dama again. Can definitely say Krom damas are my main squeeze for sure check out on IG (p sure a lot of you guys already follow) @kromkendama @rolfsandvigganer and i guess if you wana check my gram out its @Totally_gnar dankeee!
Hi my name is Dean Manning. I live in Akron Ohio! Home of lebron James. I started playing kendama last year at Christmas and have loved getting into the community and just getting better. My favorite trick is double whirlslinger so far. Also for Christmas this year I asked for the Matt Ballard pro mod because I LOVED his section in old kendama gangstas so I had to get one. But my mom got me the 3D don. It still slays but my next kendama is for sure Matt mod. My instagram is Deanmanns and my kendama one is damamanns
Hi! My name is Vincent Talino and I started playing Kendama last year on December 2015! I started playing because of my friend James and after that day I bought about 3-5 Kendama USA Tributes in a week! My dream is to be respected by Kendama players and to influence other people in great ways! I don't necessarily want to be good at Kendama, but I 100% want to be the greatest respected Kendama player! You can follow me on my Kendama Instagram acc @Peeweedeeteez - My main acc is @peeweedeetee and you can also follow the friend that introduced Kendama to me @jtsdama! I think that Kendama will be the most amazing and inspiring trend in the world in no time! In fact, it already is and it will stay that way!!! And one day, I will make my dream, into reality!
My name is Allen Santamaria (@_kaizence) and I play a Japanese toy called a kendama. I have been playing for about 2.5 years but i still need help with a lot of tricks. I run a kendama club at school, and I love the fact that this toy is capable of more than what it looks like! It is awesome to have a forum where it is all about dama! Follow my homies on IG! -> @ks.mason @dama.ian
Hello my name is Chris Pilcher. I've been playing kendama since February of 2016. Coming up on the year mark and am pushing myself to be a bigger part of the growing community of kendama. Check my instagram you should see more videos in the coming weeks and I hope to put together an edit for my year anniversary! Insta: @saltyroadrash
Hello, my name is Mason Oania (ks.mason). I currently reside in Union City, California. I play for yancycustoms. I started playing kendama in October of 2014 and I am most stoked on merting new people that play in kendama. Follow----> @dama.ian @_kaizence
Hey there! My name is Johannes Lutz (John in english). I'm from germany and live near the city "Heidelberg". I play kendama since 2011 since I first saw a Kendama Edmonton Edit by accident and asked Alex Smith where I can buy such a cool toy. I picked up my first kendama (blue Oozora) and never put it down since. What I love about kendama is: you can be an absolute "noob" at playing and still no one cares and is stoked about every trick you land the first time, even if it is a (now) simple earthturn. Kendama is not just a toy, it's a art of living life (at least for me). I kinda miss the old days where no one weighted their damas and didnÄt care about "sticky" stuff... my instagram: @horribleYoYo
Hi My name is Alistair I'm from Scotland. Had a kendama for a wee while now. But last March was at the British juggling convention saw what you could do and not really been juggling since then. https://www.instagram.com/acmuirhead/ That's my instagram https://www.instagram.com/soundkendama/ Sound kendama was made to try spread the dama love. Hyped on spreading the word
Super late to the DS party... Hello all, I'm Jonathan Magno, but save your breath, Jon is fine. I'm San Diego born and raised and began my up and down relationship with kendama on November 26th, 2012. I guess I've stuck to kendama as of so far because I thoroughly enjoy seeing how much it has evolved, yet still keeps to its roots. Although I used to be much more of an active member in my community, I'm kinda more of a closet player now, but to me it's a relationship I can't break ties with. My personal insta is @mister.magno and I've been trying to get tricks again and post on this account --> @magnomaaan follow these two a) @lamchopss - good friend of mine and big time slayer b) @eslayban - big time rep of the SD community, crazy if you haven't heard of him already. looking forward to meeting new people here :]
Hey my doods! My name is Jackson Andrus and I've been playing for around a year and a half. I live the creativity and challenge that kendama brings, and I'm excited for the future of the game! Insta: @jman_435
Suuuup My name is Teodore Fiorina, I'm from Toulouse (France), and I'm currently taking a few months off before going to college in September. I've been playing for about a year now and have gone, and plan to go, to a few dama events in Europe! I love kendama because it brings people together which is something I wish I saw more in today's world. It's also a great way to clear your thoughts and challenge yourself. Check out my insta: https://www.instagram.com/teodorefiorina/ Keep spreading the dama love!
What's up guys I'm Larry aka Rizzice. I'm a tricker and I discovered kendama through Loopkicks a few years ago. I've been playing for a couple years now and I love the creativity that comes with playing. I noticed overlap between glass art and kendama and was inspired to start painting them, hoping to share the dama life with glass collectors and vice versa. Happy to be a part of this community! https://www.instagram.com/illusion.kendama/
