The point of a kendama is to entertain the user of the toy while simultaneously improving the users hand eye coordination, concentration, perseverance, and reflexes, balance and focus.

The kendama can improve skills like reflexes because it requires intense focus and use of fine motor skills in order to accurately perform and learn many of the various tricks.
