852 is a symmetrical 5 object siteswap with the same throwing rhythm as 552: right-left-pause-left-right-pause... with a 1-beat pause between throws with the same hand. The 8s should be about three times as high as the 5s.
This is an excited state siteswap, starting in the state 111101. You can do this pattern from a cold start by throwing an 8 first from the hand that is only holding two objects, or transition from the basic pattern to 852 using a 6, and then back to the basic pattern with a 4:

You can use these exercises to practice the same kinds of throws and sequences of throws that are done in this pattern, before you learn the full pattern.
Some of the siteswaps listed below are shortened to leave out parts where you’re not doing anything. Click on them to see animations of the exercises.
You should practice doing these starting with your right hand and with your left hand, so that you will be ready to learn the full symmetrical pattern.
