Blazing Teens Yoyo Competition
For the past month, I’ve been spending my Sunday afternoons hosting the Blazing Teens 2 Yoyo Competition along with Yoyo Master Glenn Angeles. The first competition held at SM San Lazaro had more than 20 contestants, while those at SM North EDSA and SM Fairview were also well-attended. Each contestant should be able to perform the 10 basic yoyo tricks as illustrated below:
Perfecting these yoyo tricks takes a lot of practice. The parents I got to talk to are very supportive of their children’s hobby. Some of them are yoyo enthusiasts themselves who got to work with Sir Glenn from way back.

| Oh yes, GIRL POWER! |
According to Sir Glenn, kids who enjoy mastering yoyo tricks get to develop their focus, patience and confidence. He started his yoyo career when he was barely 10 years old and got the chance to go around the world because of his excellent yoyo skills and showmanship. He tells the kids that schooling is important because a yoyo master’s career isn’t just about knowing a lot of tricks, but also interacting with people and entertaining them.
