I've changed my cup-of-tea trick to Whirlwind Earth Turn and a Reverse Whirlwind Earth Turn. But not in a row.

Another one from last Monday. Untapped Tornados.

V v nice @Dimensions! (I think I posted before, but my current damp-string connection must’ve dropped it.)

Here are 3 tricks I did. I like the 3rd one best.

I've been on holiday, and barely touched a kendama in 2 weeks. It was great. Meanwhile, here's a line I did with @kendamatty's model:

Another two from me. Repeats from TIUOB, really, but it doesn't seem like many people watched that.

I had fun today at the SWJ meet-up. Eventually got @tomdama_93's newly-coined Around Cardiff, after missing the last hit seemingly incessantly. @Dimensions was experimenting with lots of "extra ball" stuff, the TKF crew were on enthusiastic form, and I got a couple of extra clips filmed for the collab too. Roll on the next one. Hope it won't be... RUBBISH! ;-)

Ran a come and try session at the weekend for a fundraiser for two local good causes.  The guy who landed spike first time was a good one, but moment of the afternoon was the mum who beat her two sons to be the first to land spike.  Family competitiveness at its finest
Big thanks again to Oddballs for generously providing the Royal kendamas for these little events.  Every bit of money raised makes a difference.  D

Excellent stuff, Donald. On Saturday, as usual, we had a few passers-by come along and ask what it was all about. (Perhaps boosted by there happening to be a green fair also on in the square that day.) Several Spikes were landed. :-) James also got this line with a no-hole Axe:

Okay, it was actually last week, but I "found" and landed a nice little combo: one turn lighthouse - one turn c-whip - one turn to lighthouse - trade in.  Looks very pretty as the ken goes from vertical on the tama to vertical underneath and back again.  Don't know why I never thought of it before

Today I bought my first Kendama! I've done other skills before (mostly poi and juggling) but I'm really looking forward to this 😃
