How to Master the Penguin Spike Kendama Trick – Kendama Facts
Welcome to this tutorial where we’ll explore the exciting kendama trick known as Penguin Spike! In addition to learning the fundamentals, we’ll also cover some creative variations to enhance your skills. But before we begin, it’s essential to have a solid understanding of the Pull-Up Spike trick, as Penguin Spike builds upon this foundational move.
The Fundamentals of Penguin Spike
Step 1: Sara Grip and Spike Orientation Start by holding the kendama in a sara grip, positioning the ken so that the spike points downwards. The essence of the Penguin Spike trick is to point your thumb downwards and extend it away from your body. By doing so, the spike will face straight up, similar to the ken grip, but with a twist in your wrist due to the sara grip. This twist adds a layer of complexity compared to the standard pull-up spike.
Step 2: Pull-Up and Land With your wrist twisted, perform a pull-up motion to bring the tama into the air. Aim to land the hole of the tama onto the spike, achieving the Penguin Spike.
Penguin Spike Tips and Variations
Tip: Correcting Tama Rotation If you notice that the tama is rotating during the pull-up, adjust your pull direction to counteract the rotation. For example, if the hole is moving towards the outside, pull your wrist slightly inwards to correct the trajectory.
Variation: Swing Spike Another way to execute Penguin Spike is to begin with a swing spike. With your wrist twisted outward and the spike facing up, perform a swing spike and land it in the penguin position.
Variation: Earthturn From the Penguin Spike position, you can transition into an Earthturn. Since twisting your wrist is challenging from the penguin grip, use your arm to initiate the tama’s rotation. Bend your knees and utilize your forearm to flip the tama, landing it back on the spike.
And that’s how you master the Penguin Spike kendama trick! With practice, you’ll be able to perform this trick smoothly and incorporate your own flair.
