Monkey Knuckles - Simple Toy, Endless Possibilities

[@timdiersing881]

It's all fun and games until you hit yourself in the nuts

[@stevethea5250]

So this a MINI METEOR HAMMER?

[@kumakumafilms]

We recently hit 200k subscribers and we just want to say thank you! We really couldn't be doing this without you guys. We have a lot of great videos coming up so we hope you keep watching!ヾ(´(ｴ)｀ﾉﾞ

[@kaladin7487]

You guys never fail to entertain and amaze :)

[@alveus_]

+Kuma Films Thank YOU Guys for all the great Videos! :)

[@joseph_lacy]

This will be my new sport/hobby you inspired me to do yoyo and Rubik's cubes now I'm doing this

[@jrleatherbarrow697]

+Kuma Films pls do balisongs

[@Nouuhhhh]

Congrats on the 200k subs 😆

[@GamingTaylor]

Looks like he's learning to fold imaginary laundry

[@dirmenss3574]

GamingTaylor best comment 2017

[@torronthemighty]

Underated comment

[@xandermantheman6212]

You must fold laundry very differently from me.

[@Greyman010]

I'm so please I stumbled across this channel I work security night shifts at a holiday park where I am on my own most of the night. I'm inspired again, instead of procrastinating on the internet tomorrow I'm dusting off my staff, borrowing my misses old poi and bringing 2 pairs of foam nunckahu in to work with me.

[@voxelheart]

If I could learn one thing instantly, it would have to be making people feel at ease. I've been drawing cute things for a while now, animals, people, personified objects, and nothing makes me feel happier than someone looking at what I've made and go, "awww..." Watching the stress seemingly flow out of them at the sight of something adorable is a truly wonderful sight.

[@euonymworks]

One of the reasons I love doing flow toys during live music! I forget that people can be enamored by something I strive to do for myself when I let them watch~

[@duplicaatededits]

Endless possibilities - smack yourself in every place possible in other words

[@kumakumafilms]

😂

[@duplicaatededits]

by the way kuma I love you guys' videos. Ever coming to the uk? Oh, and begleri are pretty much sold out ;-;

[@qwemlhjsi4386]

dupe you can buy it from other places you know

[@duplicaatededits]

yeah but they all suck

[@qwemlhjsi4386]

dupe monkeyfistbegleri on etsy are very nice

[@6Foot4Honda]

congrats on 200k, you guys got some cool stuff. this guys balls got me hypnotized lol

[@kumakumafilms]

Hahaha thank you!

[@Evoke_1]

6foot u here too

[@NITROg0d]

Hey guys. I think it is so cool you guys came to my home town of Vancouver to do a video. I could tell right away from the Ten Zhens statues you were filming in front of. A cool story about those statues, they were only suppose to be a temporary display for when the olympics were here. Then they were going to move it to another city. But the owner of lulu lemon (which is a Vancouver company) like them so much that he bought them for 1.5 million-ish and kept them as a full time city art piece. I have seen this guy performing on Granville street before. He rocks the monkey knuckles. Love your guys videos. Please keep doing what you guys are doing and please do some more videos up here. You guys capture my city so beautifully!

[@gloopineer]

I thought this looked similar I live not in Vancouver but pemberton a small town not too far about a 2 hour drive away

[@billbraski]

They were on x files last week

[@lespaulsg335]

Human talent never ceases to amaze me

[@xXPandaPlaysXx]

I would love to learn to be as fluent with these types of object manipulation as the talented people you guys feature in your videos.

[@Malabarismo]

interesting, it's kind like the mix of an astrojax with a poi and a kendama. :D

[@TimoKanal]

Hey! Awesome to see you here :D I also never heared of this before and it looks AMAZING! :o

[@AntonAdelson]

+Lucas Gardezani Abduch Astrojax was one of the best toys I ever played with!

[@MathiasNPN]

+Lucas Gardezani Abduch Você por aqui :D

[@dawnqwerty]

Sadly it seems astrojax has kind of died in the past year.

[@ThreeTreesPro]

"Why are they called Monkey Knuckles?" *Hits self in face* "JESUS FUCK WHO WOULD MAKE THESE"

[@danimalspoptart]

Is that a problem?

[@awesomecow8092]

yes

[@awesomecow8092]

Isn't it obvious that something hitting your face is a problem?

[@awesomecow8092]

Yes, I do know that I'm replying to a year-old comment.

[@LN248]

???

[@Trypno]

*buys toy, gets it hopelessly tangled up in the first five minutes*

[@RunningRiotRich]

another awesome video from kuma films.

[@kumakumafilms]

+Rich Nixdorf thanks Rich!

[@RunningRiotRich]

+Kuma Films to be honest I'm expecting awesome from you guys all the time now. I've been a viewer since your first video and I'm constantly surprised by not only the talent but your cinematography.

[@kumakumafilms]

Rich Nixdorf Wow, thanks for sticking with us for so long

[@RunningRiotRich]

Just keep bringing the great content to us viewers ;). We're waiting for more.

[@BeyondSlowMotion]

Epic piece dudes! Loved it. :)

[@kyle5346]

Uuj

[@littleadolfhitler4390]

And if you train properly this can be used as a toy AND a weapon!

[@heinyboi]

that would apply to absolutely anything. Action figures, sticks, utensils and even ballpoint pens. Kendamas, poi, yoyo and crystal balls can all be weapons. Even trading cards. Nothing in the comment was written in order to trigger anyone, it was just to say that with training, anything can be a weapon.

[@peacebewu]

^like jackie chan?

[@heinyboi]

Basically

[@littleadolfhitler4390]

peace bewith u yuppy

[@blazerix8]

+Heine Sætrevik don't be a smart ass.

[@bhavzo]

I already practice fire spinning, and i would like to dig in the world of new diverse instruments. I get inspiration from your amazing videos. Keep up the good work :D

[@SuperLinhiee]

love the music you guys choose for your videos!!

[@octobervalentine7758]

CLACKER VOLLEY!!!

[@DogBizzle]

thought the same thing hahaha

[@rotuslotus]

Haha nice one

[@peebbuu]

I dont know where you all find these people with different skills and talents but i thank you guys for doing so because theyre so amazing to watch especially with the way you shoot.

[@kumakumafilms]

+Phillip Vu And we thank you for watching

[@etherealite4907]

If I could learn anything instantly it would be to learn how to learn things instantly.

[@Rhiannon_22]

So you want to be taskmaster?

[@PackosYak]

id love to learn literally everything with them! I love how it holds the characteristics of multiple flow toys all in one! these are so amazing!!!

[@RicJG7]

I used to have something similar called AstroJax could never work out how to do the tricks though it just got tangled, in the end I started swinging it at my sister

[@stevethea5250]

*_Love me. Feed me. Never leave me_*

[@brandonaguirre6191]

Thank you guys so much for all the awesome contact, and introducing me to many fun new skill toys! I had to make a set of these for myself. I used spear fishing line made of Kevlar and a few different sockets from a set of wrenches and sockets. They are wicked fun, and they are wicked dangerous.

[@SuFrostWill]

Replace that plushy ball with a metal one and that dude will become a beat em up character

[@frailty1288]

*plastic

[@SuFrostWill]

ghostzt still turns into a boss

[@gregsvlogs7366]

great video guys. the trick I would probably pick up quickest is 1:38. seems very logical and straight forward. but I would rather learn the stedicam tracking backwards shot (comm student). now, I need to tell you, you guys have opened my eyes more toward filming on multiple locations for one video. and giving me more dynamic shots. and for that, thank you. keep up the amazing work guys and crew.

[@Jermainskee]

astrojax?

[@MegaDizzle123]

for real tho

[@qwemlhjsi4386]

Jermaine Davis yea, what makes this different?

[@Jankenstein]

Whereas astrojax were a bead on a string with balls at the ends, this is instead 4 beads with no fixed positions whatsoever, and astrojax had a uniform size while monkey knuckles have two sizes, both fairly smaller than astrojax. That's about it.

[@qwemlhjsi4386]

Aaron Ham o

[@Jankenstein]

Andrew Qiu yee

[@basilisk1997]

I'd wanna learn instantly how to put a smile on people's faces everytime. I know this might sound cringy and cliché, but I've experienced how nice it can be when someone can make you happy in those sad times and want to be able to do that. :)

[@andynguyen8882]

Reminds me of 3A and 5A style yoyo-ing.

[@abrahangarcia3503]

+Andy Nguyen Yessssss

[@scruub]

More like 5A since 1 end is the weight and the other end is the other weight like the yoyo

[@mvlucilla]

Wow, Kuma makes artists as amazing ones! Congrats for the movie productions and artists.....

[@SirShenei]

soooooo aweesommeee 😁😊😄😄i wish i had that toy

[@kumakumafilms]

+SirWinston.L Reese Get one and try it out! So fun

[@SirShenei]

[@SirShenei]

??

[@kumakumafilms]

SirWinston.L Reese Yep, our instagram is @kumafilms

[@VIDEOEPPO]

Awesome video guys. Love your work with your video content. The skills you showcase is mind blowing

[@ericr.4607]

This is extremely similar to yo-yoing by the looks of it

[@nathanpinckard5903]

If I could learn one thing instantly I would learn how to juggling with the devil sticks. One of my favorite videos you guys have made. Keep producing awesome vids Kuma!!

[@nathanpinckard5903]

*juggle

[@c0nl0n]

in my school were doing a talent show on friday I'm doing contact juggling and regular juggling my school is called janey school

[@kumakumafilms]

+John Conlon Awesome, good luck!

[@TheDhidit]

This entire Channel is underrated. BIG SHOUTOUT EVERYONE PLS!!

[@hawthorne009]

Back in my day, we called these AstroJax

[@ESSBrew]

I remember those, but they were slightly different

[@SeanSkyhawk]

Former player myself, can confirm

[@jadeshiota784]

Alex flake back in my day we called these meatballs on a shoelace.

[@SquelchMcfidget]

I’ve been watching this 2-3 times a year for the last 8 years and it’s always 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@Xenro66]

Military: *SOMEONE WEAPONISE THIS!*

[@colemak1520]

If I could learn anything instantly it would probably be to pen spin because that video you made of pen spinning has always been my favourite!

[@Anna-hn8nr]

would be cool if he even added had lit balls, right? :P he could do something creative with that like in the dark

[@mikeymiller3041]

I have poi that light up and change colour and they look pretty cool in the dark

[@Renryo]

he very often holds that balls

[@nguenbavinh916]

pen tapping chỉ có ở Việt Nam thôi

[@majesticdragon4566]

BECKY 92 astrojax are different - they only have one floating bead. this has two

[@harryrupam01]

Every single video of Kuma Films is awe inspiring

[@kumakumafilms]

[@carolinemccall4035]

That was amazing,there really are no limits.

[@Fennoman12]

Learning one thing instantly? It'd probably be the secret to success in life ;-) Great video as always guys, you keep surprising me with the production value of every video you put out!

[@sulaimanrashid5533]

I love Kuma Films, the editing is superb, if I could learn one thing it would be to Freeline skate

[@roymacone1]

Thumbs up and pinky!I would instantly love to master the pen spinning tecniques.Still amazes me!Keep on Rockin dem vids my bruddahs!

[@imashish86]

Awesome prop... Mindblowing music... and the ultimate Camera work!!!

[@kumakumafilms]

+Ashish Sharma :D

[@KelleyBuckley]

Love this one. And I really liked the location changes (especially when they changed with the beat). Great job!

[@JayPeaGee]

I wish I could learn how to properly execute all the 5 different styles of yoyo. Top video as well. I'm so into learning new skills where ever I can, and this is no exception.

[@montesquieu5190]

I loved it, the synchronization of footage with the song .... OMG. You people are evolving so much every video ^^

[@montesquieu5190]

​@@ems7623 Of course it is synchronized, look at 2:07 - 2:12, cut + skills + song. The scenery is changed but the skills are flowing equally regardless the place of the footage, and add to that fact, the music is synchronized with the cuts. So IT IS synchronized.....

[@BlueSeventeens]

Glad to see a new video up!! Brilliant video once again. If there was one thing i could learn instantly would be the 4 hoops in art of ninja not sure what they are called but they are so good or cigar box juggling really hard to pick between them but 100% the 4 hoops! Cant wait to see what you have for us next keep up the good work!

[@Veroh93400]

always good !keep doing it!

[@flumeps8731]

This guy is so skilled wow.... REALLY GOOD and great music !! :D

[@TheFuzzyZebra]

I love all these videos! If i could learn anything instantly, it would be the Freelines from one of your previous videos. I bought some for myself and i love them, it just takes more time to get the hang of.

[@shortbutripped]

This video was awesomeness!! I wish it didn't have to end. The Monkey Knuckle is fascinating and I love the idea and execution of the product. I could Learn the contact poi motions quickly but I like to learn the yoyo like movements because i think yoyos are awesome bit I don't have much experience with them. Kuma Films you guys are awesome.

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

can't stop watching :)

[@GregLionProductions]

the artists featured here are all so cool to watch. i think it can be fun watching someone do ANYTHING that they have truly dedicated themselves to and have become very skilled. i think we as a people have very much become a "pick something up, try it, and if im not amazing in a half hour im over it" culture. Even watching people at their jobs. I take my job very seriously and i feel like people can tell i care about it. that being said my work wouldnt look cool with ambient techno music playing no matter how hard i try haha.

[@Rythumz]

Love learning new flow/poi related toys these seem pretty new kinda like Astro jaxx but differently put together

[@MrDaxmortys]

Its always nice to see videos filmed in Vancouver from you guys. Awesome stuff as always, keep it up!

[@WickerFlame]

man, learning how to do this and the cyr wheel would probably be one the coolest things to show off at parties~

[@ajinomoto831]

Wonderful editing. Really hope you guys go big

[@anamitrabhaumik1553]

This is a great video... AWESOME AS ALWAYS :)

[@kumakumafilms]

+Anamitra Bhaumik :)

[@cassielatlas2063]

BEAST!!!!!!! GO KUMA FILMS

[@MoustacheOnAWalrus]

I would learn how to do complex card tricks instantly. It's just so mesmerising to me how smoothly the cards transition to eachother.

[@D3DKintow]

You guys should make a playlist with all the music from your videos. I always love the tracks you pick and is love to have somewhere I could just go to listen to them. Great video also and congrats on 200k.

[@kumakumafilms]

+Dudley Britton Thanks man.

[@afranshourov3334]

those who disliked this creative talent , hope you got something better than this to show .

[@MrGeeps7]

Your videos are amazing guys! They always make my day brighter. Keep up the good work!

[@MistyWater75]

If I could learn to do one thing, it would be to flat land bmx. The fluidity and fluctuation in movement is hypnotizing. It would be incredible to inspire people the way it does for me!

[@36365586]

another awesome video from kuma films

[@kumakumafilms]

+Wiseman Dono thanks

[@diceman8863]

If I could learn to do one thing instantly from the great people in your videos (bc there are many things I wish I could do instantly), it would be having the skills of the bubble master. I just found out that my wife and I are gonna have a little girl and I would love to stir her imagination and see the look of awe in her face from seeing these beautiful bubbles that I would make for her.

[@liquidplastik]

Awesome as always. Keep up the good work guys!

[@kumakumafilms]

+Michael Lawrence Thanks a lot Michael!

[@SupuhSel]

That's amazing! I love this channel because it's so relaxing and you get to see a whole bunch of unknown talents. I found this channel while looking for cool pen spinning vids because I've been spinning for about 11 years and still not good but I like to see tricks other people can do.

[@kumakumafilms]

Glad you're here!

[@mfkajones]

Big shout out to Kuma films your content is EPIC!

[@justinhall785]

Looks like fun!

[@TimoKanal]

How have I never heared of this, even though I'm into Juggling and stuff? Doesn't matter, this looks so amazing! Now I really wanna buy one of those :o

[@timelessperspective]

If I could pick just one thing in the world. I would be to play the jazz piano like Jamie Cullum. I've played since I was 5, but was never exposed to other piano players. It's something that makes me extraordinarily happy, but somehow, it makes everyone else that hears it happy, too.

[@wolfgangyoung6309]

Kuma Films almost makes me proud to be human and i'm glad i subscribed. You guys are Awesome and i can't wait to see more of your vids.

[@kumakumafilms]

[@MoonyD911]

These look super fun :) would love to win one of these.

[@3JIOo6bIkHoBeHHoe]

Cool! Really cool! )))

[@Ramborol]

I would love to learn how to use monkey balls I self taught myself to use the yoyo. Had good fun with it. String tricks were my fav like rock the baby and one handed star. I'm amazed at all the talented people you have on your videos. It reminds me the world is wonderful and awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@Ramborol]

And by the way I loved yomega brand yoyos. They are the best out there.

[@numsomssoms2173]

Had to subscribe to this channel. Really intriguinging videos.

[@kumakumafilms]

Thanks for subbin :)

[@Guideranger]

Awesome skills

[@NatsuDragn33I]

And, in a pinch, good self defense lol. Your videos are absolutely mesmerizing.

[@CPP_Rumble_Ready]

after I saw the unicycle video i went and watched all of your videos several times over and amazed every single time. I love the vids and congrats on 200k

[@kumakumafilms]

+skylord aithar haha thanks a lot!

[@kyletran2355]

I would love to learn how to design the geometry of bike frames to make them more aerodynamic! I enjoy riding and want to get involved in that scene! Great video as always btw

[@herolink17]

God I love you guys so much! Amazing editing, music, locations, you guys are just too cool

[@riccardopalazzi8507]

O MY GOD,YOUR IS FANTASTIC

[@TheRenegadetrainer]

These toys are so cool. I love it when someone comes up with something that involves physics and someones hand eye coordination to create a beautiful display for people. I really need to pick some of these up

[@kumakumafilms]

You should, they're pretty rad

[@TheRenegadetrainer]

They really look like it. I used to mess around with a yoyos and I bought a kendama a year or so ago, so can't wait to see if I'll pick this up

[@sabrihichem720]

Juste keep bringing the great content to us, courage, and love this music ✌👍😊

[@MrSramozz]

I really want one of these, they look really cool, and I love juggling, so that kind of juggling would be perfection to try, thanks for your awesome and really entertaining videos, you guys are great !

[@geryrusdiandy2485]

I love how you edited the video

[@katherinescott2699]

Thanks for another great video! I always love the music and talents in all of these videos =w= I would want to learn how to contact juggle fushigi balls! Contact juggling looks really epic. ^w^

[@markustalder]

I'd be composing music, because a good soundtrack can make my day. Btw. the soundtracks in your videos are awesome!

[@kumakumafilms]

+Markus Stalder Glad you enjoy them!

[@TheDavidMetcalfe]

And here I thought you folks were only shooting stuff in Asia. Great to see you in Vancouver.

[@kumakumafilms]

Vancouver is awesome! Definitely want to go back again. We're trying to get out to even more places. Since the majority of our vids are self-funded, it makes it a little difficult.

[@TheDavidMetcalfe]

***** Let me know when you're back next. Happy to grab a drink with you folks.
