4 Reasons Why Kendama is the World's New Favorite Pastime

First Off, What is a Kendama?

At first glance, people think it's just a ball in cup toy or yoyo. Kendama is much more than that. This tool is a hand eye coordination trainer that has the ability to relieve stress and provide a brain break from whatever chaos life brings. When you land a trick it brings a feeling of accomplishment that keeps you coming back. It's a self improvement tool to help your physical and mental health.

1. Kendama is an Inexpensive, Long Lasting Hobby

It's tough to find a hobby these days that's easy to get into, fun to learn, and won't cost you an arm and a leg. Sweets Kendamas' durable, wooden material lasts for years on end.

3. Kendama Brings People Together

Kendama is played all over the world by people between the ages of 7 and 80+ years old. We have seen videos of grandmas doing tricks in nursing homes that 25 year old college students struggle to land while out at the bar. This tool has the power to bring people together in ways a TV or phone screen can't. Landing a trick can make the most serious adult jump up and down like a kid and give out a high five.

4. Kendama is the Ultimate Boredom Cure

Life hits different when you're never bored and never waiting. Beginners all the way to professional kendama players all agree that kendama is the perfect downtime hobby. Whether you're stuck at a train station after missing a connection, waiting in line at the grocery store, or sitting at a laundromat watching your clothes dry, kendama is always there for you.
