Kendama – learn tricks, improve focus, have fun
Kendama is more than just a toy. This traditional Japanese skill game combines balance, focus, and creativity. With a handle (ken) and a ball (tama) connected by a string, players try to catch, flip, and balance the ball in endless trick combinations. At RMDBike we offer Kendamas for kids, beginners, and advanced players who want to push their skills further.
How to choose your first Kendama
If you are new to Kendama, picking the right model will make learning much easier. Pay attention to:
- Size – standard 18–19 cm is perfect for beginners and most players;
- Wood type – maple and beech give strength and balance, lighter woods for speed tricks;
- Paint finish – sticky/tacky paint helps catch the ball, glossy or natural is better for advanced control;
- Balance – a well-weighted Kendama feels stable and responsive;
- Extras – many include spare strings or beads so you can keep practicing without breaks.
Why play Kendama?
Kendama is a challenge for your hands, eyes, and mind. Kids use it to train coordination, teens see it as a cool hobby with endless tricks, and adults enjoy it as a way to focus and reduce stress. It is small, portable, and fun everywhere – at home, in the park, or during breaks at school or work. Many riders even join Kendama communities and competitions worldwide. With RMDBike you get quality Kendamas tested by experts, so you can learn faster and enjoy the game longer.
Things to watch out for
Avoid Kendamas with poor paint finishes that wear off quickly or strings that cannot be replaced. Always check if the tama (ball) and ken (handle) are well balanced. At RMDBike we carefully select models that last, so you can focus on fun instead of repairs.
