hey guys i got interested in BLD. imma total nub at this,i have no whatsoever knowledge of BLD and i hope someone will guide me out in where i should start off.preferably leaarn from vid tuts cause i cant rly understand tuts written down.

and how can i learn BLD without affecting my normal timings cause i may neglect it

 

[blah]

You won't affect your normal timings. Because I've been doing BLD for half a year and both my times for normal solves and BLD went down.

Start reading Old Pochmann from Joel's site, easiest to understand imo, and also imo the simplest yet most effective BLD methods around (I think many people sub-1 with this, no kidding). Then move on to 3-cycle from Macky's site. Then M2, I recommend reading Pochmann's guide first, then Erik's. And finally M2+3OP Which is what I'm currently working on.

Sorry I can't give you any video links because I learned all my techniques through these websites only, so I think anyone should be able to learn by reading only

PS: Go to Saturday meetings at Suntec, I'm always there to teach BLD, just that nobody asks

how long o take to be able to fin ur 1st BLD solve?

any blah where do u stay?

u got any memo tips?

 

[andrewvo1324]

Well,my first solve took over 15 mins..memo+excution. The first method i learned was Piece by piece which takes to long to execute so right now im going to learn M2, 3 cycle corners. For memo i just have visuall memory like i picture a cube in my head with number on the sticker thats next.

 

[blah]

My first BLD method was 3-cycle. I went to Macky's guide, sat down for 2 hours reading that page. And got my first solve in 7 min, memorization + execution. So, it's not hard. Tell that to yourself a million times. I stay in Boon Keng, purple line (NEL) if you're wondering.

 

[MistArts]

My REAL first solve was M2 + 3 cycle and it was around 6:45 because I DNFed so much before that.

A good point to begin is to learn how write correct English.

I'm French and I have a very poor English, but I remark a lots of lol and incorrect English. It's disrespectful, even for native a English speaker. Remember that when you write something, somebody will read it. Making his task easier is the minimum you can do.

If you have a precise question about blindfold please ask it, but if you don't, you should return to learn a method.

Old Pochmann or 3-cycles are good places to start (I personally use improved 3-cycles for corners and M2 for edges).

All fixed for you

No offense. Just thought this would help make your point more clear.

 

[deadalnix]

I have edited my post. The unclear bit was : Ask precise question and you'll find a precise answer.

 

[shadowpartner]

most people would understand abit of shortforms here n there O_O

 

[joey]

Maybe, but it could be harder for non native speakers. Please write in full english, there is no rush to write posts.
