    @Almostgets Eh.. There's no real fine line between new school vs. old school tricks. If I were to say anything, yes string, juggle, tap style tricks are centered around the new generation of players. Old school players focused more on understanding kendama, expanding the variety of tricks possible, and leveling up with cup juggling, balance tricks and spacewalks. We as old school players ( I for myself) started playing when 20 or less people around the world actually played seriously. I see now that old school tricks are being combined with new school tricks as a result to some of the best Kendama players in the world.
