    Hey what's up everyone !!
    My name is Thomas Baron and I'm a French kendama lover. I have been playing for about 1.5 years now and don't plan to stop. I have the opportunity to be part of the Nativ Kendama Team which is a French brand of dank Damas. The best thing in Kendama is the feeling of being part of a massive movement of love.

    Hi my name is Tyler James Conway. I'm from Tucson but I recently moved to Nebraska for work, currently working on an Environmental team for a pipeline company in Iowa. Been playing Kendama for several years now, I can't quite remember when I started but I have only been taking it seriously for about a year now. When I'm not working or playing kendama I enjoy playing music, freestyle rapping, brewing beer, making art, reading about the world, cooking for my family, and writing poetry. I Love the world and really enjoy how kendama brings people together in a positive way. Glad to be a part of a growing community.

    I would have thought you were from Hawaii with the 808 in your username.

    808 is actually my stage name. I am a freestyle rap artist. 808 to me means infinite darkness followed by the circle of life followed by infinite light. The path of existence.

    808 is probably in reference to the Roland TR-808, since he mentioned music, rapping, etc. My guess at least. @lategreat808

    Wassup dudes!

    Name is Samuel Moreno, I've been playing kendama since 12/29/14! SoCal baby, born in The Valley, moved and hopped around and I've been living in a tiny city called California City for about 10 years now. Livin in the desert is not fun...

    I'm completely addicted to kendama and love spreading the kendama love. So far I've trapped 4 different buddys into the game!

    None of my buddys post any dama stuff, but my Instagram is full of Kendama pics and cloud pics if thats what you're into.

    Give me a follow and I'll return the favor

    That's actually one of the reasons I picked that stage name as well. The Roland MC808 and the TR808 have big time roots in some of the music I listen to.

    Hi everyone.

    I'm Doris from Croatia and I'm a beginner enthusiast kendama player. First contact with the kendama happened around a year ago but I got hooked on it recently when I decided to make some edits. I got my first dama from my bf who started making handmade damas with his friends in their garage. They are called RajKendamas if you want to check them out. Love the kendama community and all the crazy tricks I see people do. Keep up the good work pushing your limits and inspiring the rest of us.

    What's up everyone,
    My name is Reggie Cunanan and I've been playing kendama for little over 3 years now. My favorite thing about kendama is the community....brings people from all walks of life together which is super cool. Have been to Battle in Seattle, MKO and NKR. Have seen super young little shredders to older dudes like myself getting stoked on landing tricks. Im 41 btw, lol.

    Hey guys I'm A.J. Timek from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I have been playing kendama since December 2015. I go to high-school, the same school that the whole SWKT went to, and they were my inspiration. What I like about kendama is that anyone can do it. I have friends that play, and it just makes it more fun. I'm currently on the grind to getting more people to start playing!

    What up guys! My name is Michael Aubrey, but all the dama homies call me Shikey. I'm from Cookeville, TN and I've been playing kendama for almost three years. What I love most about kendama is that I instantly turn strangers into friends the moment I see them with a kendama. This community is like no other.

    Started playing kendama way back 2015 when I saw a dance video online.(hint: a brain puspos vid), since then i have great fascination about kendama. My peeves in the dama scene/community are more on videos on youtube cause it's what im used to, beside IG. kinda grown watching alot of stuff. Kind of a break from posting stuffs cause i accidentally tripped my phone to the frying pan filled with oil, water & dish washing paste few month ago :( .but feel free to see my old stuffs at my accounts...

    Ehhh what up muhhbuds!? I'm Rod. Rodney Ansell or RodDama. Been into the dama for about 6 or 7 years now. . Always Reppin that Terra squad. Kendama is great because of the way it brings people together.friends and strangers alike. Not to mention the boundless creativity it opens up. There's no feeling like hitting a new trick! Much love from Vancouver Canada!
