Competition Pro Kendama Full Size 2 Pack - Red/Black Blue/Black Bundle

Kendama, a traditional Japanese toy, has been used since the 1700s to enhance hand-eye coordination, reflexes, and balance. The toy consists of a ken (sword) and tama (ball) connected by a string. The ken has three cups and a spike that fits into the hole in the ball. Basic kendama tricks involve catching the ball in the cups and on the spike, but a vast array of advanced tricks can be performed, such as juggling the ball between the cups, balancing it on various parts of the ken, balancing the ken on the ball, and juggling the entire kendama.

Kendama shares similarities with the classic cup-and-ball game and the Hispanic toy known as boliche or balero. The principle behind these toys is the same – catching one object with another, where both are connected by a string. However, the modern kendama style has been influenced by a diverse range of skills, including yo-yo, diabolo, juggling, and dance.

As a competition toy, kendamas are excellent for improving hand-eye coordination, reflexes, agility, and balance. A set of two kendamas makes for a great gift, encouraging competition and family fun. The bamboo construction is eco-friendly, lightweight, and durable, ensuring the toy's longevity.

While kendamas are suitable for older kids, it is important to exercise caution. The tether string anchors the ball to the handle, providing a measure of safety, but user discretion is advised. The standard size of the kendama is 7" x 2.75", weighing 5 oz.

The manufacturer of these kendamas offers a lifetime guarantee, ensuring the enduring quality and performance of the product. Unlike some competitors, this company is proudly USA-based, committed to delivering quality and reliable products while providing excellent support to customers across the nation.
