Hey, if you have any advice for a fellow Canadian on helping to get a bit of a scene or small group going in my area that would be greatly appreciated. I live in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I am an hour from the American border with Minnesota, but 4 hours from Duluth and about 8-9 from Minneapolis. If I drive the other way, I’m about 8-9 hours from Sault Ste Marie which is a bit of a start of the southern Ontario area and I think it borders with Michigan but not sure how close bigger cities would be. We are almost double that distance to Toronto which is I think where the main scene is. If I go a different route, I’m about 8-9 hours from Winnipeg, Manitoba. I would love to have some people to play with with. Gave a bunch of Kendamas away with resources for Christmas. But I need to encourage them to want to play and try and build some skill, so they get that true taste of landing new things and maybe want to continue to grow. I really wished I had a scene and some mentors in my area, at least for learning purposes, but I will probably have to be that person, so I need to grow and learn as much as possible. It’s tough though on ones own, so any tips would be so appreciated. Thanks
Hey how’s it going Kristina. And I’m pretty sure I personal message u before, but if I didn’t sorry I’ve been super busy. And thanks for msging me it means alot and I hope I can help u grow area and spread the dama love. But yeah hears my advice and what I do hope it helps you I just looked up thunderbay on maps and it’s far away from Toronto your right. But u said u we’re close to Minnesota and that’s where they hold one of the biggest kendama contest out thereMKO hosted by sweets kendamas and lots of kendama players are always there and lots of pros too so you’ll learn lots! So I would definitely go and check that out if you can(I wanna go one day). And the Toronto scene is definitely growing I’m trying really hard to help grow It and push the scene. And it’s not just me who grows the scene, everyone who plays kendama does their part on showing people(showing a friend,family,posting a video...). But yeah thunderbay has a beautiful beach area I’m pretty sure and u could definitely get a scene going there. I would recommend the beach to get others to see and it’s a nice spot or a park. What I do is personally look for people in the area on instagram-Facebook Kendama community- I post videos of Kendama showing off ticks and what you can do with practice - also just by talking to people when your doing some tricks outside(don’t be shy to show them especially if they look interested, and tell them the benefits of it. hand eye coordination, balance, patience, persistence, confidence, creativity, begin active...) And I personally talk to people offer tips/help if needed with tricks, motivate/encourage them to jam without bugging/harassing them lol(cuz it’s fun with others and you learn way more) and just be nice and having fun is the main thing and make friends And I post about meet ups and try so spread it everywhere and try to notify people personally so they are in the loop cuz it’s a community I also try to contact new groups like Yoyo players skateboards... to show them something else they might like. And for the Jams I always try to pick a day with good weather, a good time, nice spot(like a park, something where others can walk by and see. Cuz sometimes they come play too or ask questions . Even just them know what it Kendama is a win) and a monthly or weekly thing is better cuz you get more interested and not losing interest and it’s more fun with friends and your learn lots of new stuff always at meet ups. Also for location Ask where people are from cuz if you can do a location that’s easy for everyone it a lot better in my option. Also Creating a group for your kendama meetups/tricks/taking... would be a good idea so you can post it and people who are in the group can see(I might even do that to lol. I though about it just never did it’s probably alot easier to reach all them at once) But yeah I hope I gave you some advice that helps you out. And that’s just what I do. But the main thing is have fun and be happy no matter what As long as your having fun it all works out. And I don’t know if you have instagram but my instagram is canadamakendama and my personal one is Lucas.schwarz.21 feel free to message me for any questions/tricks tips, or just to talk, or even to check out my posts. And if you msg me saying it’s you from Downspike I’ll definitely follow you back But yeah all the best Kristina And good luck on the meet ups
Kendama Meet Up Saturday April 27th from 1pm-4pm at Barrie Cenotaph 1 Chase McEachern Way, Barrie, L4M 1A7 There is lots of parking close by. Lots of prizesand a beautiful brand new kendama to be given away. There are lots of extra kendamas to use so even if you don’t own a kendama come jam anyway and learn something new and fun -Fun mini games -Free jamming -Lessons/tips are available if needed -Games of KEN(1v1) How to Play Below 1. Most earth turns goes first 2. Two try’s to set- 2 to match 3. You set if you get a letter 4. If you match the set, the original setter sets again 5. On your last letter you get three chances 6. No repeat tricks •You get one prove it to use throughout the whole game! When you use your prove it the opponent has to land the trick they just did or else you don’t get the letter and the game continues. So come learn Kendama, play mini games, hang out and have fun being outdoors and being active. Kendama is a great sport for hand eye coordination, balance, patience, persistence, confidence, creativity, exercise, making friends, fun, and you can bring it pretty much anywhere and it doesn’t need a battery lol. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. #kendamabarrie #kendamacanada #kendama #skilltoy #kendamameetup #barriewaterfront #jam #sport #prizes #barrie #ontario #kendamacommunity #kendamaculture #balance #goodtimes #barriecenotaph #barriememorial #outdoors #canadamakendama #activities #flow #games #toronto #kendamausa #activekendama #kendamaisreal #kendamas #terrakendama
