Joel Ajayi
As part of the effort to ensure Nigeria, as a country, take advantage of all sport games available in the whole world, Tony International Gymnastic Club of Nigeria (TIG Club Nigeria) in conjunction with Japan Embassy in Nigeria, is set to introduce another brand new creative Sports called “Kendama Toothed Sport” to the country.
The game will enable many Nigerians, who have talent in Kendama Games, have the opportunity to play the game for the first time in Nigeria.
The first ever Kendama toothed Sports games will take place at Moshood Abiola National stadium Gymnastic hall on Saturday 1st of April, 2023, in Abuja by 3:00pm Nigerian Time.
It would be recalled that, Japan Embassy and TIG Club of Abuja, over the years, have partnered with the aim of prospering sports in Nigeria.
There’s no doubt, the partner is now contributing to the growth and development of sports such as Gymnastics, Karate, Taekwondo and now Kendama sports.
However, the Kendama game is a traditional Japanese skill toy that consists of a handle (ken), a pair of cups (sarado), and a ball (tama) that are all connected together by a string.
On one end of the ken is a cup, while the other end of the ken is narrowed down, forming a spike (kensaki) that fits into the hole (ana) of the tama.
Kendama can be held in different grips, and many tricks and combinations can be performed. The game is played by tossing the ball into the air and attempting to catch it on the stick point.
The origin of kendama are disputed, but it is generally believed to have originated during the 17th or 18th century.
