Jake has been an awe inspiring figure in the Kendama community for as long as I can remember. The roots he planted during the first backyard Kengarden battles in San Francisco have grown into something none of us could have imagined. Jake brings an unmatched energy and enthusiasm to the game, and shares a true passion for introducing Kendama to new players around the world. With all the collaborations, mutual support, amazing events, and incredible dama journeys over the past few years, it’s a very well deserved spot.

This edit takes you into Jakes life in San Francisco, with stories from some of his closest friends and inspirations.

Jake’s Pro Model Kendama will be released in 2014. Welcome to the family.

Big thanks to Colin Sander for the incredible production quality, and to Tori Sander for the crispy stills. Shoutouts to Matt Rice, Andy Olive, Guy Wright, and Sourmash for their contributions to this production.

We are thrilled to collaborate with Sourmash on a few new Artist Series.  Mash is a creative genius, and a seasoned master with his artistic skills.  He is always coming out with fresh styles and painting techniques perfect for Kendama play.  Sourmash’s customs are well known for their stickyness and durability.

The Path Tamas are each unique masked designs created by Sourmash himself.

The Sourmash Paths are strung on a Tribute Kendama handle for maximum performance.  Each piece includes an extra string and bead set.
