Kendama Can Change Lives Forever

We were deeply inspired by Joshua Gillard's Kendama story and how he landed his dream job playing Kendama.

"Without Kendama, I probably wouldn’t have met Angelo. I wouldn’t have had the chance to work for one of the best companies in the world. Kendama has impacted me immensely. It’s taught me that the only constant in life is change — and that change is something to be embraced, not feared." - Joshua Gillard

You can read the entire article HERE. We've always known how beneficial and impactful Kendama can be in our lives, but Joshua did such an incredible job putting his experience into words.

Every Kendama player has a story, from the moment they first began. "My Kendama Story" is our brand new spotlight campaign, highlighting individuals throughout the Kendama community and taking a deep dive into those who's lives have been changed by Kendama. This could be Professional Players we all know and love, some lesser known OG's, and maybe even you!
