KendamaUSA Team Edit 2019

One of the most impressive kendama teams out there is KendamaUSA, which comes as no surprise. But with their Pro team suffering the loss of Dave Mateo, KUSA remains resilient in the new KUSA Team Edit 2019.

KUSA was seemingly unstoppable, with Tribe team member Rui Sora winning the 2019 World Cup, and making new additions to the Tribe team such as Josh Kim and turning Nobu Nori pro. Unfortunately, the unexpected happened and the community lost the one and only Dave Mateo.

Included in the edit are some of the last kendama tricks ever filmed featuring Dave Mateo. A legendary loss to Kendama USA and the kendama community as a whole, Dave Mateos passing is even harder to accept after watching this edit. Dave appears to be happy, loving, and in good spirits. The trick he gets in the 2019 Team edit is innovative, yet still in classic Mateo style.

The description of the KendamaUSA Team Edit 2019 reads:

(KAIZEN: kai·zen : a Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement of working practices, personal efficiency, etc.)

The Kendama USA team came together to create a unique video for their late teammate and brother Dave Mateo. Kendama is what connects us, kendama is what brings us together, kendama is what makes us a team. With true kaizen pride, we celebrate Dave, life, unity, and growth with the KUSA Team Edit 2019.

Much Love, SHCL FOREVER 💜
