MATT 'SWEETS' JORGENSON

Sweets Kendamas was founded by Matt "Sweets" Jorgenson after discovering kendama during his search for new skill-based hobbies following a serious snowboarding injury.

Inspired by his entrepreneurial roots, he set out to make kendama more accessible outside of Japan.

What began as one player's passion has grown into a brand dedicated to helping people discover the challenge, creativity, and fun of kendama.
