    I live in Aridrie Alberta and I have one friend who plays less than weekly. The closest scene to me that I know about is Edmonton 3 hours away. Hard to convince parents to drive that far to jam and because of that I usually jam alone. Tell me if there r any players in the Calgary area, I would be happy to arrange a jam once in a while.

    There are definitely some players in Calgary, there have been a few contests there before! You should try to convince some friends to get playing :)

    I live in Huntington, WV, and the only scene here is a few guys I've introduced it to. People get too caught up in their guns and their hunting to want to play a ball-in-a-cup game.

    Kendama died out in Switzerland in 2013. I just started up 8 months ago, and I have only met 1 other player in person.

    from rialto here, just got into kendama 2 days ago, kendama squats got me aching so im recovering for a day or 2 of practice. I have a kaizen and a couple kusa pro mods with a gt-1 enroute now. Got my nephew one, too hes out in fontana, so there are people out here buying them. I dont think IE knows about this yet.

    What!?!?! Glad to hear another person from the IE. We should jam sometime. Oh, and there was a kendama scene here in Redlands/Highland but it was only in schools.

    Definitely nobody jamming in southern New Mexico. Hit me up if you're here and see this I've never even seen somebody else play Kendama in person.

    ARKANSAS here. I work at a school and opened a Kendama club with like 5 members, but I'm their mentor so technically we don't have any jammer in like a 400-500 miles radius.

    Agreed Claire ... been trying for a bit to kick start Chicago burbs . I know there is Cake dama group as well . We should pick a mall in the middle ( even Oakbrook) hold a weekend jam and see what we can get ) I'll even bring new damas to donate to new kids to start up ! Spring break timing ??;)

    I also think ( as a dama -dad here of two slayers, that if we put the posts out again on IG and another thread on DS that we are going to kick things up around Chicago , that we can see who shows ... and we're only an hour from Wisconsin or Indiana for the other close by jammers! ! Keep an eye or hit us up on IG @Idoucm_2
