Title: Any kendama or begleri players? Or just fidget-ers?
Post by: funderburker on Mon, 16 January 2017, 15:08:55

Hey!

Just wanted to ask about it because during high school I got hooked on kendama and well - i just found begleri and thought it's could be great fidgety accessory.

Do you use some stress relieve accessory (a fidget) or something like that?

I just fidget with any pens I have lying around. Usually twirling them or just taking them apart and then scrambling to put them back together when a new slide comes up.

Does having a dedicated item for fidgeting help? To me I feel like it wouldn't really help because I'd forget about it and subconsciously start messing with my hair, my pens, or really anything around me. I also build things when I fidget, I was in bio in highschool and before I knew it I had a tower made of my water bottle, erasers and a journal.

There was a kendama push on here a couple years ago after a meet-up. It died as quickly as it arose.

Excuse me? It's alive and well out at the rap cabin!
