Around Tunbridge Wells

In the world of the kendama there are a number of "Around the something or other" tricks, which involve the ball doing a sequence of tricks in order.

The Void told me about Around the USA at Bungay, which I was very pleased to land after surprisingly few attempts. I showed off the trick at TWJC recently & it was generally judged to be quite ridiculous. However, I think we can get more ridiculous.

So lets start with a simple list of moves:

Then using my trusty Combination Generator we can generate a list of combinations from every location to every location. After a bit of trimming of all the same location to same location throws & sticking in some earth turns to round off each section I now present Around Tunbridge Wells! A mere 57 move sequence guaranteed to give your wrist a phenomenal workout. Can I do this trick? Of course not! After an hour & a half worth of trying I've managed to complete each section individually apart from the earth turns, but the furthest I've got through the whole list is to the spike in the Small Cups stage before missing the earth turn.

Start by holding your Kendama in a Ken grip with the ball hanging down, then work your way through the list, & remember...

The Big Cups

The Small Cups

The Base Cups

The Penguin Base Cups

The Spikes

This section is the same as Around the Cosmos but with the extra penguin catch & without the body catch

The Earth Turns

This section is the same as Around the USA but with the extra penguin catch

If you got this far you rock!
