Battle at the Border!

BATB was totally insane this year! The second largest event in the country had a wild turnout this year of nearly 450 people. It was the first time 365 had sponsored and vended at an event, and it was a smashing success. Shout out all the people that came by our booth and supported us! We sold out day 1! Getting to meet so many of you in person, and to see people playing with our kendamas was a special moment for us.

Our boy Edwin absolutely killed the Open Competition and made an insane run through the losers bracket, and got 2nd Place! We couldn’t be more stoked for him. Congrats to our good friend Zack Gallagher for taking down the win. Thank you Sol Kendamas for putting on such an important community event! It was great to see everyone, and we can’t wait to see you next year!

Shredwin is 365 PRO!

We announced our first Pro player at BATB! Edwin Tickner finally got his long deserved signature kendama, and we couldn’t be more excited for him! We premiered his edit at the very beginning of BATB and the reaction was wild. Edwin is truly pushing what is possible with kendama. We released the Edwin Pro Mod to the public the following weekend, and we are happy to say we are officially sold out! Shout out all the people who supported Edwin on his first Pro Model kendama. Check out his ridiculous announcement video below!

Kendamas Coming Soon!

New kendamas from 365 are coming first thing next year! A slight change to the timeline, but we are confident they will be well worth the wait. We are currently in the process of collecting all the media from the team, and can’t wait to show you what we’ve been spending all our time on.

Catch and Flow!

One of kendama's great competitions happened for the first time in-person in over 3 years. The Catch and Flow Freestyle World Championship went down December 11th in Tokyo, Japan. In our opinion, it was the most insane competition we’ve ever seen. The level of tricks the competitors were hitting on stage were of a caliber we’ve never seen before. Catch and Flow is so amazing to watch because the players are able to do whatever tricks they want, and can show their style and creativity.

Catch and Flow is also so special because many Japanese players are able to compete-unlike at NAKO.

And boy-it's Japan’s game these days. Years ago, freestyle kendama was ruled by players from the United States and Europe. No more. This year proved the game’s best players are residing in Japan. You could argue this has been the case since 2019, but this year’s Catch and Flow left no doubt which country is dominating kendama at its highest level.

Congrats to Shinnosuke Togo of Jac Kendama for taking down the massive win and showing us that age is just a number! World Champion at 14 years old. Insane! Shoutout to Yasu of Krom Kendama for snagging second place and absolutely shredding throughout all the rounds.

And we also want to give special recognition

to Takuya of KendamaISR for doing tricks

no one else in the world could do onstage (or off it for that matter).

Other News!

Bryson Lee of Sweets Kendamas was promoted to Pro after many years repping the Sweets brand. We are digging his minimal/clean Pro Model!

Yasu was announced as the newest Krom Pro at Catch and Flow!
