Marius's word: I fell in love with kendama from my first sesh (session). I immediately understood that it was a great complement to skateboarding because you can play it anywhere, all the time, and the satisfaction of succeeding in a new trick is unmatched! Then it was the friends I met through the events who pushed me to continue and become better! Now there is not a day that goes by that I don't play. Kendama has changed my life in the most beautiful way possible 🥰

Joris's word: I discovered kendama at a friend's house who was coming back from Japan. I didn't let go of the kendama all evening and my mother then gave me one. Since then, I have never stopped playing 'play it.
Kendama has helped me a lot in difficult times. It has allowed me to escape, far from worries.
I trained relentlessly, always trying to improve and push my limits.

Timo Berrien
Start date: December 2020
Signature trick: Ter & triple J-stick
Specialty: Ambiancer
Instagram: @timeo_berrien
Timeo's word: I discovered KENDAMA at the skatepark when I was riding a scooter and I was immediately hooked, with my friends we tried to be the best and do as many tricks as possible but I couldn't do it so I stopped for a while then for Christmas 2020 my father bought me a kendama and then I saw that there was a small brand that was being created so I gave myself the sole objective of being sponsored by this brand, and then I started to really work until I was sponsored by One Kendama and since that day I continue to love kendama, and thanks to that I learned a lot of things, but also to make lots of new friends even to create a beautiful family and I thank One Kendama again for what they offer me whether it's kendamas or love ❤️ and as my mom says: "work pays off"
So go buy a kendama and we don't know maybe you'll be the next sponsor one day 🤷♂️ 🫡💛
