    Title pretty much says it all.
    Been playing for 1 1/2 year and I found out about Kendama when I was watching Kuma film's video featuring Takeshi Kodama and Hiroki Iijima (
    ). Thought these guys were crazy skilled and soon I decided to cop one of my own :)

    I think there's a similar thread to this already, but I found out about it through my brother, and this August will mark my 4th year of playing kendama.

    2 years, but first year I was just doing it because it was popular. It left my area and I was the only person who kept on playing the kendama and then it got serious. Started as just a toy, then a way of life, winning beginner and intermediate ladders all over California, now im going for Open next event!!!
    Pretty much 1 year of nothing, then 1 year of TONS of seshing

    Kendamas have this weird special power. Money slowly dissapeared from your bank account, and the kendama slowly multiplies. Not sure if the 2 are related.

    I've been playing since 2012. I've taken it semi-serious since 2015. Just don't have that much time to jam lately.

    @Vuong Thai, @Andy Dama has a good memory. Merged your thread with the older one so everyone may see the previous answers.
