I've only been playing kendama seriously for 5.5 years, so it's obviously rather early for me to be releasing a solo video, so I apologise for my hastiness. However, I hope you enjoy it, including some of the original tricks therein. If your playback device can manage it, please watch in HD/fullscreen to ensure the tricks hit your eyes with full force. Some tricks inspired by: Donald Grant, Neil Smith, K.Cima. SPOILERS!

Juggling. With nice lighting. And a proper camera. Life is good. Thanks to Yamamura Yuri for filming and generally being a good guy. Thank you for watching!/nFun fact: 30 minutes before recording, I injured my knee pretty badly. What you cannot see here is me limping from left to right before and after. Video magic is magic alright.

I've been in grad school for 18 months now and it's been a difficult trip. Certainly more time consuming than undergrad but after the first semester I managed to find time to balance life out a bit more, resume volunteer work and circus training. The tricks in this video were mostly filmed over Thanksgiving and Christmas break and almost entirely involve backcrosses with clubs mainly because that's what I'm most excited about sharing at the moment. My knees gave me some problems several years ago and it's made me too paranoid about re-injuring them to do 360 tricks on an un-waxed floor. It's not any loss to the viewer as I haven't learned any new spin tricks in a long time. This is not to say I don't give them the effort, just that I haven't improved on them for a while. There are 360 tricks I could do in high school that I can't do much better these days despite the 6 years of practice that have passed. There are no balls in the video because I couldn't find a way to film them clearly and there is not

Kickstart by Noora. Quick and easy way to get the hoop to the knees with a little flick of the foot. We are two girls from Finland and we're here to bring you new flavor to your hoop dance! The idea is to show different level tricks in many angles. 
We won't be talking, because a.) we don't like tutorials with a lot of babbling ourselves, so we decided to do something different and b.) we would sound like idiots! ;)

A funky little club roll to under the knee grab that i really like and messed with a little, oh and some 4 club at the end for fun XD

7 ball juggling in a shared pattern, both kneeling and standing... shame about the finish though

Number ninety six. Opposite Lunar to Fast Hand Knee Stab.

C-Whip. This trick baffled me completely. So I went to the bare basics and looked at "Knees", the second book from The Void and Donald Grant. Coming from a ZERO juggling background, string tricks have eluded me for the past 6.5 years of playing Kendama. Until now....

Random Juggling Idea! First line of "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes" successfully juggled! Silly but fun :D

round 5 of the sisi comp...some knee bounce action in there this week!/nvisit www.kendama.co.uk to find out more!

SISI Round 5, with added Middlesex commentary.

Doing it properly, with the knee touching the floor.

This is surprisingly effective when done well, it can really look like your leg has dissapeared! Unfortunately it's very angle sensetive, it only really works when viewed from the front. Incase you can't work it out from the video, here's how you do it. Hold the hat by the brim, with the opening resting against the top of your thigh, move it down until it covers your foot and hides it from view. As you raise the hat again, bend your leg at the knee. Et voila! Your leg has vanished! Lower the hat again, straightening your leg as you do so. Ooh look! Your leg has re-appeared! Top tips: Only raise the hat as far as your knee, and keep your foot hidden behind your thigh. A few minutes practice infront of a mirror and you'll soon get the hang of it. Bonus points: Make both legs dissapear, at the same time...
