    Hey guys! My name is Charles Rager aka Charrrss. I live in Atlanta and work at the Kusa warehouse. Currently working full time and trying to finish school. I've been playing dama since damafest 2011 and started working at KUSA in 2012. Kendama Edmonton was what really got me into dama. I don't know how I found them first but they are still my fav ❤

    What's up! Bailey Mezinger's the name Kendama's the game. Been playing for about 2.5 years. What I love about kendama is that is more than just a toy. It's an outlet to get away from all your stresses. I also love that kendama is endless, the number of different tricks and styles continues to amaze me.

    What's up everyone! Stoked on this app so shouts to Cheech and Colin for killing it with this one.

    I've been playing kendama since August 2011 and am currently a Professional Player for the amazing guys at KROM Kendama. The thing I love most about Dama has to be the people I've met and the places I've been. It's pretty amazing to look at all the opportunities that have been given to me by this toy.

    Hey everyone!!

    My name is Michael Angelo Rendon III (thought I'd share my full name). I'm 26 years old. I'm from Long Island NY but now live in Winston Salem NC.

    I discovered what kendama was this year when I was watching a bmx interview of Reed Stark on thecomeupbmx.net. So I thought I'd pick one up to mess around with. I fell in love with it first day (5/12/16). I don't plan on putting it down anytime soon and I keep progressing everyday. I'm excited to see where kendama will take me. I know I'm going to MKO next year!

    What's happenin! My name is Ewan McKay, I'm 22 years old and from the UK! I got into Kendama about 3 years ago through martial arts tricking. A group of guys from America started putting little combos in tricking videos and so our whole community picked up on it!

    What gets me so stoked about Kendama is that you can do it basically anywhere, anytime, no batteries/electricity needed to have fun! And you can do what you want the way you want to do it, pretty much the same as tricking.

    I enjoy the whole travelling for competitions and jams and stuff and meeting new people a lot is a great part about kendama also.

    Our community in the UK (Instagram - @project.ark) is growing pretty fast and hope for it (one day) to be as popular as it is in USA now.

    Much love <3

    I'm not a new member but I don't think I posted on this yet for some reason.

    1. Hello all, my name is Nick Lectura. I'm from and currently live in San Mateo, CA and have been playing kendama for about 2.5 years. I'm an SFK team member and a frequent KG Tuesday goer. I bought my first kendama in July of 2014 after a friend blew my mind by doing a UFO second try after I told him to do something cool (that's the short version of that story lol). I am most stoked on the feeling of being totally immersed in the trick/combo that you're doing and snapping back to reality after hitting that last spike. Always chasing that hone zone feeling. I'm also stoked about making/editing dama clips. I used to love making montages for CoD vids, so I'm glad that I found something else to have fun editing and having fun with in general. It also helps that I'm way better at kendama than I ever was at trickshots

    2. My instagram is @nickalecka! Peep my newest clip, I'm pretty pleased with it :)
    Another account you should definitely follow is @sanfranciscokendama (https://www.instagram.com/sanfranciscokendama/) for cool posts about kendama in the Bay Area

    Yo, I'm Keegan Sablan. I started kendama back in February 2015 thanks to a couple friends. I live in Boise, ID where the dama scene is pretty small but growing.
    I love how kendama has brought a lot of us together but what I really enjoy is how creative it lets you be. Not just creating and mashing up tricks together but designing and making a kendama personal and unique.
