Mugen Comeback
I made the Bring back Mugen fb page because I didn’t really know what else to do to try and get these guys to listen. So I figured it was a long shot. But Holy shit it actually worked!! Realistically I think they are a lot of people that need to be thanked for them coming back. Obviously Tamotsu Kubota and everyone at Gloken made this last push to really get them going. Before that I would have to say Yoko and Ruisch need to be thanked for their tireless work trying to get them back as well. I’ve heard they will be around the $35-$45 mark and not have a JKA seal. Everyone is saying they won’t be the same but do you really think they will be that different? Iwata knows if he strays to much from the original people will not be stoked. So I can not freaking wait to see what they come up with. See people if you really want something bad enough you can make it happen!
VooDama Doll
Sweets coming with the weirdness on this one! Stoked to see new things being created in the dama community. I gotta get me one of these!
Daniela von Rohr - Edit 5
Women and kendama, sounds like a good combo to me. Check out Daniela’s edit number 5. She is clearly one of the best females out there. Both of us just won mugens in the Gloken contest as well! So congrats again Daniela and thanks again for doing the trade!
Kendama Comic
I found this awesome kendama comic strip online. I put together 4 different ones on this one page. I wish I knew what it was saying but you can pretty much get the gist of it. I love all the crazy expressions that all the pieces are making.
Terra Pills
Alex from Terra sent me over some pills and I can’t put them down. I just love how portable they are. You can just throw it in your pocket on the way out and just spacewalk while you cruise around. If you haven’t gotten one yet you really should. It helps you with your dama skills and the fact that it is so simple can be looked at as a bad thing. But I look at it as a good thing because then you have to challenge yourself into finding new and creative ways of shredding this thing. So go get yourself a pill!!!
Gloken Photo Contest #2
I entered the new Gloken contest with this photo above I shot of Jake at home in the kengarden. If you could go vote for me that would be awesome. Mine is #50. Thanks you can vote here.
TJ Kolesnik Lefty Edit
Tj shitting on the entire dama game. Taking lefty swag to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL! I saw a few of these clips awhile back and couldn’t believe it was left handed. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUEEEEEEGGGGOOOOO!!!
“Kendama Forever” Article
You have to check out this really amazing article on kendama. It’s has some really interesting, not so well know facts about kendama in it.
Paw Tamas and Displays
For those you of you that don’t know PAW is Jake’s dad. He is an expert wood turner, and has teamed up with Jake to make some killer kendama goods. The Tamas are all hand turned and from wood his dad cut from fallen tress. The weight and bevel on these tamas is on point. These aren’t just pieces to put on your shelf, but are meant to be shredded in style. Now these displays are just too sick for words. I got one of these as a wedding present awhile back so I’ve known about them for awhile, I guess it pays to have friends like Jake! haha. They are just the most simple and elegant way to display your damas. Everything designed and made in america, and in this day in age. That shit matters! Get yours today before they are gone….
