You can learn from this site. And go around in youtube to check out some 5A tutorials if any. Make up your own, with 5A, the possibilties are more than endless. ---

You can look up 5A elements online. There’s a channel that teaches basics of famous 5A moves and goes kind of in detail. The series is called bread and butter. > **[Old Man Silencer](https://www.youtube.com/user/Rannosteachs)** > > Share your videos with friends, family, and the world Once you get these down then it’s time to start experimenting and finding tricks that work for you.

once you get at the equivalent of YYE tutorial’s “intermediate” level (in 1A) you’re pretty much on your own keep grinding until you find yourself being comfortable with the general yoyo/CW motion, then your tricks will fall into place. there are not many tutorials “per se”, but you’ll find that there can be unlimited variations of many of the basic 5A tricks I’m finding out that the flow seems more important in 5A than it is in 1A, once you get the basic tricks flowing all together you’ll be able to “move” freely and make up your own tricks naturally but looking at some other vids in slow motion can’t hurt [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/3/1/73129376e15502f7174303d8c0cb38d40e2d59ec.jpeg "Petr Kavka - Through Fingers") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVojF42duPM) ---

the whole thing that is great about not having many 5a tutorials is that once you learn all the basics you are free to create your tricks using your own imagination. ---
