George Marshall is now a Sweets Kendamas Pro. It was only 2 months ago that he released “An Edit Vol. 3” and in January he placed 2nd at Battle at The Border 2019.

“My name is George Marshall, I’m from Minneapolis, MN, and I’ve been obsessed with kendama for over 6 years. I discovered this little wooden toy when my good friends Lukas Funk brought one to Mondo Juggling Festival back in 2013. Long story short a bunch of our friends hopped on the trend, we became the nerdiest friend group in high school ( and I loved it), our squad dwindles down to just five of us, we eventually got hired as stringers in the Sweets Kendamas warehouse, we called ourselves SWKT and created and Instagram account, Lukas and I tagged along with the Sweets team to KWC in 2015, we did extremely well and got sponsored at the after party the same night. And here I am today, a Pro for the company I’ve loved ever since day one. The reasons I love kendama have honestly changed quite a bit over the years. At the very beginning it was just a way to meet new people, during high school it was simply a fun pass time with friends, and through college it’s been my way of taking a break in between classes when I want some alone time. Now it’s turned into a way to connect with like-minded people, an excuse to travel around the World, and the ultimate creative outlet for me. Kendama has quite literally changed my life and so many meaningful experiences have happened because of it.”
