Summer Kendama Jam 2015 Results

The Summer Kendama Jam 2015 was a blast! There were so many participants at the event and it was heartening to see more and more young ones picking up kendama.

From the preliminaries, participants were sectioned into their respective categories. If the participant managed to complete Moshikame and above, they were in the Intermediate category. If they managed to hit Bird and above, they were in the Advanced category. If not, they remained in the Beginner category.

Each category had participants battling it out to be crowned the champion, and here we have the results.

For the Beginner Category, the finalists were:

1) Fitri

2) Ivan

3) Nicholas

4) Haroon

5) Julian Segar

6) Daniel

7) Aqmal

After a tough battle of seeing who could complete the beginner trick list the fastest, the top 3 were crowned.

Beginner Champion: Ivan
