Title: What's that trick called...

[Mod update:
Don't know the name of a trick? Ask in this thread! Give a description or a link to a video we can see it in. (Have a read through the thread first, to see if it's already been described and answered.)
Know the name of a trick, but don't know what it is? Try the Search Box (top right corner), or the Trick Archive (http://kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1082.0.html). Still not sure? Ask in this thread! ]

What's that trick called... ...with the tama in the big cup (for arguments sake) and then you spin the whole kendama on the axis of the small cup 360 degrees horizontally on your finger? Been trying to nail that one recently, and describing it as the "finger spinny thing" to people..

For the benefit of anyone with "the Japanese book", it's number 93, and the tricks on this page (http://www.kendama.co.uk/100tricks.html) correspond to the ones in there.

Aahhh, that would make sense, thank you. I'd be most interested in seeing a copy of that book sometime, as I haven't got a clue what a fair few of them are (I'm particularly interested in #64, "Beckoning cat")...

hey all, landed this trick recently and was wondering what it was called?

i;ve seen variations done by several people, more so in the franky morales edits

Franky Morales Kendama 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YIQ5AOt0Xk#)

(time=0.16)

its when he pops the ball into the big cup (oozara) and then he throws it all up, flips the kenadama and catch the ball again in the same cup/or the small one.

Hi doakes, welcome to the forum. (Introduce yourself (http://www.kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2.0.html)?)

If the ken does a complete 360˚ spin, that trick is called a Whirlwind. Franky does a half-whirlwind at 0.16 in that video. A version of that trick is in next year's BKO advanced tricklist. Check out the video on http://kendama.co.uk/bko2012.html (http://kendama.co.uk/bko2012.html)

What is the name of the one where you hold the string and whizz the ken and ball around? I may have heard "hurricane" at some point. Turner Thorne loves them (1:22):

I think I may have also heard Hurricane (not sure where though), but I'm pretty sure K.Cima was calling that "Baton Twirl" in Munich. Makes sense.

And I believe just catching the ball on the crosspiece is called a "frying pan" - at least that's what the Kengarden ladders have dubbed it before..

What is a whirlwind called when the ken is spinned around its longest axis? I very much like this trick but I haven't found a name anywhere. Additionally, is there a name for the spin where the ken is flipped around both axes (Zack Yourd does this one a couple of times in the Kendama USA edit)? I keep calling it a "hardflip", taken from skateboarding..

"Both"? Doesn't it have 3?!
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: HansNickmans on 09 January, 2012, 08:46:33
Yeah, I meant the two from whirlwind and tornado. The axis that goes through small and big cup's center is very hard to do a whirlwind-style flip (without if going around another axis), unless you're doing a turntable (which, in my opinion, is a different class of trick).

As for the tornado, isn't that also the name of the Turner Thorne-spacewalk-trick where the string is held in the middle? And I also found this trick on the BKA-site called Tornado base cup, which is again something else: Kendama けん玉 トルネード中皿 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crjodWtRqms#)



Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: BKA on 09 January, 2012, 14:45:34
Okay, so there is some inconsistency here. First of all, the "hold the string" trick is called "baton twirl" in Japan, but some American players are calling it Tornado.

The trick you posted above (from Kendama Revolutions, not from the BKA site!) contains the text: トルネード or "Torunēdo" which translates as "Tornado". But if we also look at Boarder's tricks on KR, we find these 3:
"Masakari hāfutorunēdo" Axe Half Tornado まさかりハーフトルネード (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpuAovIDqKU#)

"Hāfutorunēdo" [Stilt] Half Tornado ハーフトルネード (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ4U6LjDC7o#)

"Furutorunēdo" [Stilt] Full Tornado フルトルネード (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRdLmQEz4rE#) , all of which use the same Japanese characters for Tornado.

I think maybe K.Cima will have to re-name his trick!!

It might depend on the trick.
In this post (http://www.kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,119.msg723.html#msg723), Joe describes a Jumping stick with the extra axis of rotation, which Void called (http://www.kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,119.msg733.html#msg733) a Tornado Jumping Stick, which seems to fit, but perhaps his alternative "Corkscrew..." suggestion could work in other places.

Post by: FilthyTown on 18 March, 2012, 20:28:07
Times like these I really wish I had a camera...

Basically I have been experimenting with lunar/somersaults variations when pushing/pulling the tama differently.

I have been doing one in particular where you start from a lunar and pull the tama towards you quick and to the right just a tiny bit...(right handed)

This motion has been flipping the ken 180 degree vertical/spinning the ken 180 tornado<? to where the big cup lands perfectly into inward lunar position almost everytime after a little practice.

Now I am curious what is this trick called when the ken flips like that?  Skateboards have a trick similar called a varial flip for a better explanation...

Unfortunately I'm not good with inwards and can't balance it out proper just yet.  Soon...I hope. lol
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: The Void on 18 March, 2012, 22:21:35
I just watched a skateboard video to find out what a varial was. It looks like what I imagined your description looked like, but perhaps with an extra rotation in one axis. But I'm not sure.
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: SamB on 19 March, 2012, 07:55:52
I think I get it. To use aeroplane terminology a varial flip is a 360 degree roll with 180 degree yaw (kickflip-pop shuvit). I have no idea what that translates to in kendama terms especially ending in an inwads lunar. Is it starting from the string hook or an aeroplane start? I might give it a go.
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: Thorny on 19 March, 2012, 09:54:49
(Slightly different) but I've once managed a Lunar Shuvit many moons ago!
Start of with an inward lunar and an odd, and difficult to explain, flick of the wrist and it popped up and around to lunar without any spinning around it's other axis.

If you're unsure, watch Oase Edit 5 again and take note of him doing it somewhere in the second half!
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: FilthyTown on 19 March, 2012, 13:37:13
I saw that lunar shuv-it in the Oase edit, so crazy!  Props on landing one of those Thorny!  I don't even know where to begin with that one...haha

I guess a skateboard varial isn't very accurate since the ken spins only 180 and a skateboard does a full 360 spin.

Imagine a person doing an aerial twist and their feet are the bug cup...

I don't know if this is a new trick or not!? My friend Wez (in the video) came up with the idea. None of us has ever seen it done before, so thought i'd post it and find out.
Maybe it does exist, if so does anyone know what it's called? We were calling it the Hurri-plane like hurricane as in the old Airplane and the storm, we thought as the ken was spinning and similar to Airplane it kind of fitted. As you can tell at the end we were quite excited when he landed it ;D

Well done Wez, but I'm afraid it's not a new trick. You'll find that on page 47 of Knees (http://kendama.co.uk/books.html), or inside KendamApp (http://kendama.co.uk/app.html). It's called The Drill.

No. It's not Beckoning Cat that he's talking about. I'm not sure what it's called, but I've seen it on videos. I think its that one where the ball is on the big cup (Beckoning Cat starts on Spike.) You put your index finger on the small cup, the ball is still on the big cup. Then ever finger but your index finger leaves the ken. Then the ken rotates 360 degrees around you index finger. Then after it rotates, you put all your fingers back on to catch it.

I see it done often but have no idea what it is called. I describe it as Inward-Mini suicide. As the name suggests its mini suicide starting with tama grip, and thrown so that the ken travels in between your hand and your body.

Can anyone clarify for my please?
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: The Void on 05 November, 2012, 22:38:25
Sounds right, although I'm not sure if I'm missing some elements of the trick you're referring to. If it is only... Start from ball grip, with ken hanging, swing the ken up and in towards you, then release the ball and catch the ken, then yes.
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: Bad Wolf on 06 November, 2012, 01:51:24

Is there a name for scoop-style tricks where the tama is carried using centrifugal force alone (for example, tama starting in base cup, taken in a sweeping circle across the body, ending in same position only now 'penguin' style)? Theoretically the same as making a glass tumbler do a flip without the water coming out, only in kendama terms.

Any ideas?

遠心力/Enshinryoku/Centrifugal force is the Japanese name for the Big Cup version[nb]#7 on http://kendama.co.uk/100tricks.html (http://kendama.co.uk/100tricks.html)[/nb]. (Perhaps "Centrifuge" would work as a quicker-to-say name.)

Have accidentally just started doing a rather odd Big Cup (sara grip?) Swap trick where the ken is caught á la Rotor Blade/UFO, though it is only rotating 180 degrees. I uploaded a youtube video, but my webcam is so terrible I have to set it at the lowest resolution just to be able to demonstrate what I mean. Anyone any ideas what you would call it?

Since you are finishing with an Aeroplane catch, and since your hand switched from Ken to Ball, we'd go for
Fast Hand Aeroplane.
Or perhaps
Big Cup>Fast Hand Aeroplane or Big Cup>Aeroplane.
Either of those last two would probably get the message across to someone who wanted to copy what you'd done without having seen it.

Nicely done, btw. :) Now.... go and work out how you can do the same trick frontstyle! (Straight in front of you instead of sideways to your body.)
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: the milky oolong on 20 February, 2013, 17:16:25
Thanks for the help!

I've been messing around with it for some time and there's something satisfying about it, especially when it's caught exactly horizontally. If I had a better way of recording it I'd show some variations, i.e. with Stopover, has a real flow it it, but the quality is too bad. For me it's an Oolongated Rotor, but I doubt the BKA will go for that  ;)

As for the frontal, that's a good idea, am giving it a go right now.

Don't know if there is a name for it.

I'm holding my ken upside down at the base cup. Pull de ball up. Land it on the side of the small cup and against the ken. Next i trow it up the base cup and then spike. Did it twice in a row. I like it! If it's not clear i try to post a video of it :)

What is this trick called??? (or perhaps it 's original?)

I was playing around with "yoyo style" tricks today and came up with this.
I was basically trying to do a 5A Windmill on a kendama.. Spiking the ball instead of landing a trapeze.

It is kind of like a Moon Circle for beginners.

First off, that looks pretty awesome!

Next, I think you may have stumbled upon something 'new' here. It kinda looks like a 'one rotation' version of the propeller from Guy Heathcote (see 00:40 of British Kendama Association in Newbury (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvNUAX9I4go#ws)), but with a swing-in exit.

From another perspective it's a swirl without actually wrapping the string around your finger. Since you have a half swirl, this would be a 'zero swirl' of some kind :-)

Looks great, and not every trick needs to have a name. This yo-yo/kendama crossover seems to have some great tricks, keep researching like this!

Thanks Hans.. I was hoping this was a new trick!  ;D

Ill need more confirmation of course, but my hopes are high.

I have been thinking of a name all evening. lol

So far I'm liking, "Hurricane"... I'm open to suggestions though if this goes through.

Wow james that looks great! Don't really get how you di it but it looks good!

Post by: SamB on 28 March, 2013, 11:24:00
That is a good looking trick. It may be new but maybe someone else has done it in the middle of some mad string combo (seems similar to Yannck Brunner's style).
Either way as it's own trick it doesn't have a name. I think "reverse - zero-swirl" would be the most descriptive and "zero-swirl" sounds pretty cool to me.
I think hurricane has been used for something else but again I'm not sure.
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: HansNickmans on 28 March, 2013, 11:51:11
I also thought Hurricane was already taken, but I looked around and didn't find anything. There is a whirlwind, tornado and typhoon, but hurricane has not been used for a trick.

Naming a trick is mostly seeing which name sticks with the majority of players. Like 'tornado' being used for 'baton twirling' in the US, or a 'turntable' being called a 'zack yourd'... The same as 'stilt' is more commonly used than the literal translation of 'bamboo horse', 'ufo' instead of 'rotor blade', the 'bat' or 'underbird'-choice, 'small cup bird' or 'nightingale',...

Since this tricks falls (for me that is) within the swirl-category of tricks, I would go for zero-swirl. You could try getting your name in there and go for 'Jamespin', which has a nice ring to it I guess :-)

Hi James,
Well done for discovering your own trick. It has definitely been done before... by me! (Not on video tho'). I usually do it to finish on the Base Cup (easier!), but I have done it to Spike once or twice. I have a strong suspicion that I picked it up from either Donald, Guy or someone else though. As to a name... Hurricane has been used before, I'm certain, although searching the forum for that gives nothing. Google translate 'Hurricane' into Japanese, and you get all these options:   
ハリケーン
hurricane
台風
typhoon, hurricane
暴風
storm, windstorm, hurricane, gale
疾風
gale, blast, hurricane, squall, storm, gust
颶風
hurricane, tornado, typhoon
荒れ
storm, tempest, windstorm, blizzard, hailstorm, hurricane

Typhoon has definitely been used before (search the forum), so best to stay away from that lot to avoid confusion, I think. (There's Whirlwind too, of course!)

I don't think it can be classed as a Swirl, since it doesn't have the wrap, and I can think of a Swirl variation that could sensibly be called a Zero-Swirl...

I think it is most similar to Guy's propellor, although the spin is in the opposite direction. (Think of the driving finger making a small circle: In Guy's version the finger comes up on the inside and down on the outside. Yours (If you extended the motion) is the opposite.) So it could be something like "Micro Propellor" or "1-Propellor", but then there's the exit to consider.

If we're talking about just the "finger pushing the string" part of the trick, then it could also be called a "Forced..." or "Driven..." something, perhaps? I think this might be the smart way to go, since there are obviously going to be a lot of different possible exits.

So how about "Forced Swing In" or "Driven Swing In"? What do you think?
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: HansNickmans on 28 March, 2013, 11:56:08
Void, I'm intrigued by what your zero-swirl variation would be like. I would like to see that!

I'll try and do a quick shot of what I envisage as a Zero-Swirl Aeroplane soon.
QuoteYou could try getting your name in there and go for 'Jamespin', which has a nice ring to it I guess :-)
ALWAYS be extremely wary of naming a trick after yourself. Can you ever be sure that in 38+ years of Japanese kendama history, no-one else got there first? :-)

Post by: The Void on 28 March, 2013, 13:17:55
Okay, here you go.
[noembed]http://juggling.tv/12972?pin=5151[/noembed]
The idea is to release the ken a little early, then very quickly reach under the other hand to grab the ball before it has even started to Swirl. Exit as per normal to an Aeroplane. No swirl = "0-Swirl Aeroplane"! I wasn't quite quick enough in this video, so you might call that one a Quarter-Swirl Aeroplane, but I think the concept holds.
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: JamesFM on 28 March, 2013, 19:53:58
Cool Stuff. Thanks for the info guys.

The trick is a direct adaptation of a free hand yoyo trick called, "Windmill".
Although the name isn't tough sounding, I think it is the right choice.

Here is what a free hand windmill looks like:
http://youtu.be/0o3anZdp0Xw (http://youtu.be/0o3anZdp0Xw)

Windmill in Japanese is: Kazaguruma かざぐるあま。

What do you guys think?

Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: The Void on 28 March, 2013, 21:06:47
Windmill can also be written as 風車, and a search on kendama.asia throws up a few tricks that use that in their name.... However, they all seem to be variations on what we call Gunslinger or Whirlwind (Pesky inconsistency!). So I suppose we can use Windmill.
So then I'd call your trick Windmill Swing In.

I was having a quick play with this trick last night, and I now think that I was wrong, and I have only ever done it to Base Cup. So, sorry for making a false claim, and yeah, Windmill Swing In is your trick, as far as I know, James.

It has been mentioned somewhere before, a while ago, but sometimes it makes more sense to "name" a trick by using descriptive elements. So
Pinwheel 1-Turn Aeroplane (or is it 1-Turn Pinwheel Aeroplane?)
&
Around The Triangle (with reverse swing exit)
...seem like the best candidates.

I'm not sure what it's called, but it's been gaining tons of popularity. It's like a horizontal spinning spacewalk of sorts, if that makes any sense. Here's a video for the trick: Kendama Co - Shop Edit #3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLT6rIBFEao#ws) It happens at about 1:10 with the aluminum kendama. Anyone know what it's called or how you do it? Thanks! And sorry if I did something wrong, this is my first ever post on here.

Hi NJ, welcome to the forum.

That trick is called a Rotary Swing. It's pretty simple, but visually very effective. Pinch the string in the middle as you swing the ball out, then push the ken so that it matches the rotational speed of the ball.

What is the trick called where you start out with doing an airplane then after landing it you flick the ken straight up (spike stays facing down), and while it travels up it spins like a helicopter or drill and then comes back down and lands right back in the tama hole

Hello Sam here and well i was wondering what this trick is called its like after you do the turner thorne handspin thing/hurricane/baton twirl well.. theres a lot of names lets forget about that... the trick is when you do the baton twirl thingy you throw the ken and ball up then when its coming down you hit the string with your hand and it goes back up in the air then you grab it and do something like a spike or an airplane or like a lunar landing

please help me out on this one i tried to explain it as best as i can!

If I am correct, that is a 'Lunar Rover'. Don't know who named it, but it's in 'Click'. There are different variations based on whether the ken does a half or a full turn, but I think the name stays the same.

Those would be (side-on) Scrambles.

To do them, start as you would for an Aeroplane, then release the tama when the ken is at the bottom, and gently push back against the string with the heel of your hand. The weight and momentum of the ken should make the kendama spin around your hand. Then it's up to you to get the timing of the catch right.

Good luck.

Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: BKA on 25 March, 2014, 20:49:39
Hmmmm.... I guess it could be a Fast Hand move, but those don't traditionally involve a grip change on the same piece of the kendama, IYSWIM. I think maybe it should be
e.g. Base Cup > ([Fast] Grip change, Ken grip to Sara grip) Small Cup
or just
Base Cup > Sara grip Small Cup
Bit of an awkward name, but as has been said elsewhere, sometimes a "description" serves the purpose better than a "name".

Came up with a little run today and came across this trick:

As Candle Balance but with fingertip flat on the kozara rim where a Small Bird would land, achieving equilibrium.

Anyone seen this before? If not, want to?

If I'm understanding you correctly then yes I have seen that before, have a look at this Jake Wiens video at around 3:33.

Lovely little trick - nice switching between the cups too.

Is this what you mean?

Hi Kev,

Unfortunately living in Germany means I can't watch many YouTube videos because of their music content licensing not extending to mainland Europe (bah!), so I can't see what you're referring to. Thanks for the help all the same! Yeah, nice little trick, somehow more difficult to flip into Lighthouse from, despite the increased surface area - the ken is at a serious tilt during the balance, and you have to push down with the right force or else you push the ken up out from under the tama, which is tilting off towards you too. Rewarding, though! 
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: Kev on 21 May, 2014, 19:53:42
Hmm, I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing. There's no 'serious tilt' in what I'm suggesting.

I've just taken a picture of me doing the balance (in the video Jake throws from this position to the identical balance on the other cup so effectively the fingers move to the other side of the spike).

(http://s17.postimg.org/e2cheg2nz/Side_Spike_Candle.png) (http://postimage.org/)

Is this what you meant or are you talking about something different?

Maybe show us if you have video / photo available?

EDIT: Just realised you said the balance was on the rim, so obviously we are talking different tricks. I'd like to see it!

Maybe you need to tweak something?
Title: Re: What's that trick called...

Tweak?
http://youtu.be/sAj2a1SQdGI (http://youtu.be/sAj2a1SQdGI)

The balance is on the lip of the small cup, no finger touching the spike, and no part of the finger in the hollow between spike and small cup lip. Try to balance it yourself using the lip, you'll see that it's not even possible to edge nearer the spike as the balance tips instantly too much towards you. Too much compensation in the opposite direction means you'll drop your kendama off the balcony.

So...I don't know if there's a name for this trick or not, thought I'd just ask and see if anyone had a clue.  It's a beginner trick but does take a few tries to balance it right.  I just took a couple of pictures because I honestly have no idea if this has a name or not.

Quite simply, it's a 'bird' but catching the tama on the side of the spike instead of catching it between the spike and the cup.

I've heard that trick called Frying Pan, Side Spike and I think Ken Stop.

Personally, and this is only my method, if the hole is touching the spike as it would be for Slip On Stick, then I call it Side Spike.

If the tama is just balanced as you've shown but the position of the hole isn't relevant then I call it Frying Pan.

Like I say this is only my view but its handy for talking about tricks clearly.
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: quadraptor on 31 May, 2014, 16:29:45
Awesome!  I'm glad there's a name for it so I can at least know what to call it.  Makes me laugh it's called 'frying pan', it sure does look like a frying pan with an egg or something.

Thanks a bunch!

Edit -

I actually have another one.  Any idea if there's a name for...

Is there a name for the type of "launch" i've been doing today? starting with the ken and tama in opposite hands held horizontally at full string length, then drop the tama and let it swing the full 180 degrees a few times before swinging it round the "full circle" and landing on wherever you want (i've been hitting small cup so i can continue onto the small-bass-big moshi kami style thing i've been loving recently.)

@Void,

I have been trying for some time now (1 month or so), and i'm still stuck on "penguin throwing" the ken from the back.
I'm able to release it, but not gain enough height and rotation. Any attempts to increase height will somewhat get the ken stuck.

Currently doing my best to figure out how to push out the ken.

As a lack of better naming, I am calling this pinwheeled suns.

Kendama pinwheel suns (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMB-q9hrIl0#ws)

Note that there is no pinch to the string, the string makes one turn around the index and gets unwrapped in the internal "sun".

I called it "sun" because of the similar looking trick of Diabolo.
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: BKA on 10 November, 2014, 11:36:42
You don't do the actual Swirl, so it's not a Swirl.

Let's break down the first combi:

Swing... into a Finger Wrap...
...into Inside Pinwheel
...into Stopover

So,...
"Finger Wrap Inside Pinwheel Stopover"

We haven't yet used "Suns" in kendama, and in this case we don't need a new term, as we already have Pinwheel, which covers it precisely in this case.
Title: Re: What's that trick called...
Post by: shalafi on 10 November, 2014, 13:18:52
I mentioned the wrap as being the same of the swirl entry, not that I was doing a swirl (but you can connect one afterwards)

As I see it, there are 2 "circles" the wrap, and then the internal pinwheel, which, to me, look like the wrap and the unwrap. And then you can do continuously. The stopover was optional, just an exit to switch direction.

Also, you can do this same trick without the wrap/unwrap by pinching the string instead. They are almost the same visually but quite different in execution.

I've just realised I don't know what it's called when you pull up and land the tama on the side of one of the cups.  I know it's a wing walker if you transfer from one to the other, but what's the single called?  A wing?

Instagram link! (http://instagram.com/p/xU2NEOlR2G/) (<--Instavid)
I was going to say it's a Turnover (See "Spike! (http://kendama.co.uk/books.html)"), but then I realised he's doing a variation. His is:
Turn, Release (throw, if you like), Catch
as opposed to the 'standard'
Release (throw), Catch & Turn (in one move).

So... "Talin Turnover"?

Hey, @Cliffdama , pretty damn neat trick!

Personally I'd call it Aeroplane > Gear Change > 3 Turn Reverse Aeroplane.

#AeroGearChangeTripReverseAero
Wouldn't it be Reverse Gear, @Kev? :)

Well, Snapback was suggested for the immediate-pull-back-to-spike trick, but it seems that has become known as Yank[nb]Because polysyllabics bad?![/nb]. That trick involved tugging on the string to reverse the direction of the ball, so I think your trick would be...

1-Turn Yank Reverse 3-Turn Aeroplane

It's debatable whether "Reverse" is needed in there, but I suppose it should be. Theoretically, you could Yank to re-spin in the same direction, right? (I'm pretty sure someone[nb]@Dimensions ?[/nb] has done something like that...)

Nice work.

On a serious note, I think trick names should:

3) Sound good.

There are at least two called that. Search the forum for "windmill" for one that got the name via yo-yo. Or there is Kazaguruma (translates as "Windmill"), which in...

...is (number 9) Gunslinger Base Cup > Gunslinger Base Cup > Gunslinger Spike.

To me it looks like the yoyo windmill extended indefinitely. Also, looking at the windmill wheel go round and round and round, to me it fits very well. The gunslinger combo, well, not so much. Propeller seems pretty fitting, too, on the other hand. With that said, I think it's time to make a windmill trick :D

Around the world is by all means a cup and spike combo ;) It's just an established combo that has a name of its own, so we call it a "trick", while it, in fact, is a combo. Herewith I rest my case :D

You really think it's a good idea to name a new trick Windmill, when there are already two tricks called that? We don't.
Kendama nomenclature is confusing enough already....

The Kazaguruma trick has been established for some time. In 2011, Cima told us it was considered "one of the hardest tricks" among Japanese players.

BKA case rested. :)

Cheers.

I've recently seen a very fabulous trick in a YouTube video. Does anyone know how it's called and if there are tutorials?

Much thanks!

@IsyPhoenix Hi, welcome to the forum.
That's "Sarado Eiffel Tower". It was in one of the BKA tricklists. I'll go and find it....

Thank you a lot. The Eiffel Tower was actually pretty easy for a beginner like me. ^^

Mister Void, how long have you been playing Kendama? That's a sick skill level. ^^

Hello there, I hope this is the right way to ask a question, it's been a very long time since i used a forum ah ah

These days i've been seeing a trick a lot and I'd like to know if there's a creator and what's the name of the trick.

I've done it some time ago while fooling around, here's a variation to it cause i can't find the first one i've posted on my profile.

Thank you in advance

Hi @Lucytfc , Welcome to the forum!
That seems like a perfectly reasonable way to ask a question, and in the right place too. :-)

The trick starts with...
Spacewalk Trapeze...
(Which is different to "Spacewalk > Trapeze", since "Spacewalk" on its own includes the Aeroplane catch.)
(Oh, and while I'm at it "Trapeze" is different to "Trapeze Acrobats", even though some people lazily abbreviate the latter to the former. But that's another story!)
...and then you do some sort of string transfer, which I can't quite see, or work out. Pretty neat, since it means that the cradle stays in place during the....
...oh, wait, I've just worked out what you're doing!
You're dropping the string loop over the top of the ball, across the hole, right? Then you do a Half Tumble, and a Stab > Fast Hand Grip Change.

There is a trick created by Mr Maruishi, former head of the JKA, (which I named as Triangle Drop in my book Knees), which ends with the ball in the same string cradle that you Tumble into. But your entire trick is a combo incorporating the Triangle Cradle. I like it!

So the elements of your combo are...
Spacewalk Trapeze > Loop Transfer > Half Tumble Triangle Cradle > Stab Fasthands
If you want to give a name to the whole combo, then feel free.

Oh, and I love your happy laugh at the end of the trick, too.
Cheers!

That's a fantastic explanation of what i've did there! I forgot to mention that i was looking for the name for the last trick, the one you've calle Half Tumble Triangle Cradle! But this was way more satisfying :)

I was just curios cause I like drawing some stuff and the name helps me a lot!

Glad i can share some joy on my clips! Thanks a lot for the response :D
Cheers!
