Learn the rubiks cube

Solving the Rubik's cube is an incredible feeling. At the biggining you will keep getting faster and cross new barriers you never thougt you would get to. I belive that anyone
can solve a Rubik's cube, so I compiled a list of the resourses I used, and the resourses I wish I used so that anyone can kickstart their journey!





Learn to solve

This is the fist step in your journey, this can be done in a few hours, and you will feel great after.
To first learn you only really need one video. I pesonally learned with Jperm's video, and I belive it is the best.

while I belive this is the best video, if you want to try a different way Cube Head's tutorial is also great.
The methods are quite simmalar, but having another person explain it may make it easier

Getting faster

Now that you can solve the cube, you may be wanting to get faster. When you show your friends you don't want to bore them. Below are 2 videos (one from Jperm and one from Cube Head) for getting faster with the cube.
First Jperm's guide

Now the one from Cube Head

Begginer CFOP (Simmalar to the method the advancced cubers use

CFOP is your key into the "real" cubing world. CFOP stands for Cross (the white thing at the biggining of your solve). First 2 layers (you solve them at the same time).
OLL (orient last layer, making all the yellow peices face up). And finnaly PLL (permute last layer, taking all of the last layer and putting the peices in the right spot)
In order to do this, you must know cube notation, Cube Head explains notation in this video

Now that you know cube notation, there will be a video for each step, starting with the cross

F2L is probably the hardet part of CFOP, and let me tell you, at the biggening, you will be slower, but in the long run. this is also the one that pays off the most

The last layer is different than what we did until now, this part is mainly remembering algarithems, good luck!

FINAL STRECH!!! you are almost done with CFOP, just the PLL left. Soon you will know CFOP

After you know CFOP, you are already so close to sub-30! This video should give you the final kick to get there


Note
I personaly recomend going to competitions, even if you solve "slow". WCA compotions are open to anyone. It is very fun to go to them and find new friends in the cubing comunity.
If you are interested in competing you can go to the World Cubing Association's website. There are plenty of comps around the world, including in israel.

competition


Further refrences

No that you are sub-30, the progress from here on out is much less liniar, I'll give you a few sources to help you get better:
1. Cube acadamy Cube Head's website
2. Jperm's website another great source
3. Cube Skils Felix Zemdegs (2-time world chamion) website


Practice makes perfect!

The most importent part of cubing is practice, timers are a great way to practice, this website has a cube timer for it's members so you should sign up!
