About us
Ken, Tama, and Good Company
A friendly kendama club in Tacoma. Every other Saturday at the park or the rec center, rain or shine.
Cascade Kendama Club is a kendama community for Tacoma, WA. We meet to learn tricks, play games, and push each other to land the next one. Beginners, families, and competitors are all welcome.
Never held a kendama? Working on Lunar? This is your crew. We have loaner kendamas at every session, so you don't need to bring anything. Someone will always help you land your first cup.

Keeping Meetups Safe
- Kids are welcome. Younger kids need a parent or guardian with them. A parent or guardian is responsible for their own child at every meetup.
- Club volunteers never take kids anywhere away from the group or the meetup space.
- Give each player room. Kendama swings and juggles need space, so check around you first.
- Check your string before you play. A frayed string can snap and send the tama flying.
