Braddock Bootcamp – Amsterdam, June 2008 Braddock Bootcamp – Austin TX, October 2008

Why are you still reading this… Get off your ass and do some thing about your life..

GO! These guys are rockstars!

Ok. So I get down to Miami Beach on Friday and I’m psyched for this. I was looking at this date on the calendar for some time. What got me to finally pull the trigger was after a miserable night out a few weeks back where my game just sucked. I was so off. I’ve read Mystery’s Book, watched “The Pick Up Artist” read Savoy’s Magic Bullets and have studied and implemented a lot of David D’s work. So, for me this boot camp was an opportunity I hoped to tie it all together and give me the groundwork to take my game higher. I’m new to Fort Lauderdale so I go out by myself a lot. I so was psyched to be able to go out with some guys that are in the same headspace with me on this. Plus, I wanted all the constructive criticism I could get from the instructor to help me really learn this stuff. Meeting and talking with women is something that I have been doing all my life but I’ve never been able to break the spell of a really hot 9 or 10. I’ve felt stuck in the 6, 7’s and 8’s all my life and getting to the 9’s and 10’s just seemed like an impossibility for me. I’ve sabotaged a lot of relationships over the years because somewhere in my soul or deep inside my head somewhere, I feel that I have to conquer this issue. Or at least get a handle on it. Deep down I feel I deserve to be with a 9 or a 10. So, this boot camp I hoped would help me get out of my head and realize that 9’s and 10’s can be conquered.

Back to the Beach, I get there and the front desk person doesn’t have a clue where I’m supposed to be for this. So I start wandering around the place trying to figure out who the heck I’m looking for. Having studied Mystery and knowing who he is I figured the instructor would be some tall outlandish dressed dude, peacocked to the tits. Well, I can’t find anyone that fits this description in the lobby or at the bar, so I start getting a little confused. Then as I started heading back to the front desk a guy yells out hey “You here for Love Systems.” I’m like “yup.” It was Braddock. Tall, ripped jeans, funky t-shirt and a baseball cap worn sideways. Awesome! I’m here! So I get into the room and meet the other guys. It was only 4 of us so I was even more psyched. Small group = more interaction with the instructor. The guys were all real normal, cool, down to earth guys. We hit it off right away. After the introductions and the reasons we were all there Braddock started getting into the material. The first day the goal was to be able to open and transition. That was it. Braddock is a big believer in setting realistic goals every time you go out. Start small, get real good at one thing before you move on to the next. If you can’t open and transition you’re dead. So, the first night out was huge. One fantastic thing he taught us and I’ve never done this before is warm up sets. Warm sets are so KEY! What they do is they help you get out of approach anxiety immediately and put you into the right mind state. Basically, we went around the room and quickly went in and out of sets. “Hey do you know when this place gets started. I have some friends meeting me so I want to let them know what time to get here. Cool. What are your names? Great! I’m Maverick. Thanks. Catch you guys later.” That little opening gambit set up the entire night. That for me, was the best thing I learned the entire weekend. As I worked the room later, women were yelling “Hey Maverick (dragging me in).” That’s what did it. I opened up tons of sets that night. A lot were good. A good one was I opened up a 6 set of women. Transitioned. Ran some cocky funny and got a drink from them out of the deal. Some were bad. One bad one was I went into 3 set (2 girls and guy) and bitchy blond blew me out right away. My target (hot Asian girl) feed off this and gave me the look of death. After I realized I should have opened the guy first to get the acceptance of the girls. Then I could have figured out how they all knew each other. What I love about learning and doing this is stuff is you can always figure out where you went right or wrong. The other 99% of the guys out there haven’t got a clue.
Second night out was all about opening, transitioning, cold reading, isolating, Kino escalating and running a game routine if possible. This was a fun night. What I learned and loved the most this night was how to use subtle body movements to get a girl isolated. This puts me one on one with her and she doesn’t have an eyeshot of here girlfriend where the girlfriend could try to pull her out. This is SO POWERFUL! This is the type of stuff Braddock taught us all weekend. Besides all the material, little warm up gambits, subtle body movements when either approaching a set or when again isolating someone out of a set, tons of openers, lines to use and real life examples. Then throw in the stuff like false time constraints, disqualify, push/pull, cold read, blatant lies, negs, etc. All were used in some form or fashion in my sets. I have to mention winging. All 4 of us students got to wing with each other several times. The power of winging and having a good wing is so priceless. My best one, and I loved this was I came in a few seconds after my boy opened a 2 set (guy and a girl). I got the guy isolated so my boy could work his target. The entire time I’m bs-ing with this guy I’m balling on the inside knowing that it is working so well for my boy. Ahh. That was so awesome!! A bad one was I winged in with another student and we couldn’t get the girls isolated so the two of us were talking over each other which let to a dead set. Again, isolating is so KEY. The best one of the night was I along with my wing crashed a 6 set hanging out on a bed. We just jumped in and took over the scene. I isolated a hot Columbian woman (10). Ran some game on her. Got her to comfort then Kino escalated the crap out of her. I had my hands all over her legs. I got a little shoulder rub action from her. It was such an awesome feeling.

Damn this is a freaking book. But anyhow. This weekend was eye opening for me. I learned so much. The value of setting realistic goals every time you go out. Consistency like anything else in life is very key with this stuff. You have too keep practicing. Master small steps. Then add a little more. Add a little more. And like a snowball going downhill you will pick up momentum and get the thing moving large and fast.

I want to thank everyone involved this past weekend in Miami for a making it an incredible learning experience, great personal development and a tremendous amount of fun. I feel that I really figured out some stuff and feel a lot more confident about my game. Those 9’s and 10’s are right around the corner for me. Braddock. You rock dude! Thank you so much for all your hard work, dedication, passion and enthusiasm you bring to these events. You really make them special…….Maverick

I’m an egotistical Jersey Guy – I can’t even stop for directions let alone pay a nice lump of coin for a seminar on how to pick up women!!!! This trip was completely last minute and completely out of my comfort zone (let alone a 3 hour plane ride). I was nervous if the instructor was gonna be some cheeseball j*rk off, if the students were gonna be cool or d*cks, etc etc. .

Before BC, I would go out and either be on or completely off, never knowing reasons for what happened or what I said wrong or did wrong. So I just decided to go to the Bootcamp.
Heres how it all went down -

—Friday– -
get off the plane, check in to my sh%thole (f#ckin priceline) – get a chubby from the sight of sick women, go to class – meet what seems to be a crazyman, Braddock, as he keeps talking I think “this crazyman knows a few things, reads a lot, and really put a lot of work in this!”, share stories, a.a., openings, transitions, open eachother, open Braddock, loosen up, learn, learn, learn – get our mission and we’re ready to go to the field! Can’t wait!
At night, we meet at the venue, meet the coaches Perceptive/Hotsauce and Loki, Braddock sends us to do warm up sets, F#CK!, now i gotta get out of my head, screw it!- I paid good money for this and I have to- warm up sets, openers and transitions all night, witness Braddock owning sets!!!, (mental note; “this shit works”) watch, listen, open, transition, learn, go home.

—-Satuday——
I can’t sleep in – I’m too excited, I wanna learn more!!!, read my notes, eat, get another chubby from Miami brauds walking around, go to seminar, coaches are there get great feedback from them, debrief, so much information – (”Drinking from a firehydrant” as Braddock excellently put it), everything is making so much sense!, learn, learn, learn – This Braddock really knows his sh*t!!! He really enjoys watching our enlightment!, learning, getting excited, can’t wait for the field!!!
Venue; bad ass!, meet up, grab drink, get first “mission” warm up for 15 minutes and meet back, F#CK! here we go again, let’s do it, warm up 2 B.S. sets, feel better!, burn girl with cigarette (no, its not my opener), open burnt girl and mixed 7 set, lock in, own it, wing comes in – owns it, take turns winging, still watching Braddock destroy sets!, listening to advice of coaches/Braddock, learning more!, wing a mixed set w Loki (smooth mother f$cker), THIS SH$T is FUN!!!

——Sunday——–
Wake up, last day with the fellas, exhausted, excited, seminar, debrief, all these guys are my mother f$ckers, learn, learn, learn – this stuff isn’t just enlightening with picking up women – its CHANGING MY LIFE!! – Bootcamp is over.

Everyone goes home – I’m not leaving till Monday Morning- I’m loaded to the teeth with this new knowlege and material!!!!! – I have to go out- F$CK IT!!! -
Talk with everyone and everbody I can- BS – stop by a venue, not too many people -BS with a dude; see a seated 4 set tell him to stop by if I’m talking with girls (this way if I have to eject I can, or maybe I can get the fat chick to stop c blocking me) —– open; “whats this a bachelorette party? yada yada, fckin yada – owning it! All 4!! Can’t get enough! Taking pics, kino out the ass – F#CK no wing – its ok I go to my target put my arm around her and tell her “Your lucky Im gay, or I’d be all over you” LOL – tell them I have to leave in 2 hours, number close target- HB10, hugs and kisses then (I Swear on everything dear to me) THEY ALL START CRYING!!!!! YES – CRYING! – They don’t want me to leave! – more hugs and kisses and go back to Hotel – packing – phone rings, its the girls they want to get changed and buy me eats! ok ! WTF!! Does this really work? – bet your sweet little ass it does!
After the bootcamp, I’ve been going out almost everynight sometimes alone. Now, when I get blown out, I know why – and now, my freinds, I can fix that!

OVERALL: Life-changing experience! worth every penny!

BRADDOCK: Monster at the game!! Monster of a person/instructor and PUA! He went over the top and put his soul in his bootcamp and he started me on this journey that don’t stop with picking up brauds but one of a better life style!!! Can’t say enough about the guy!! (read his blog on inner game)

LOKI: Cool, smooth miami vice mother f#cker!! Shows a hole different style of the game! Unbelievable guy!!! Great PUA! Shares a wealth of knowledge.

PERCEPTIVE/HOT SAUCE; Cool as hell- a real help gives you honest opinions and great insight!

MY FELLOW STUDENTS; Cool as hell – intelligent guys who really got their sh#t together, just need some insight as I did on this subject! Game on!!!!

All you guys who were there – Jersey–Anytime!!

If you’re on the fence at all about going to the Bootcamp – Go!!! – and I can’t recommend Braddock’s program enough!!! Don’t just read about it, DO IT! BE IT!

These guys had no judgment just pure game! Biggest Takeaway:
F logic! F emotions! Just ACT. I did everything these guys told me to do, and feel better and think a lot more of myself than I did before. I approached when I didn’t want to, and got women to respond positively (I sort of expected that though ).

Braddock is great at acting/conveying emotion. I really enjoyed this, since before I could not ‘feel’ the way I was coming off to people, now I do. When Braddock demonstrated ‘friendliness’ and ‘joking/teasing’ I felt ‘man I want to be friends with this guy’; and when he demonstrated (for teaching purposes) ‘anger/hostility’, I thought ‘is there any way I can get the F out? Nope, exit blocked! F F F.’ Just seeing this was priceless. Now I know what happens when I lose my sets. It will take practice and I will get there because I know where I need work. It’s fun work now!

I appreciate Michael for his unique perspective to the game in adding some good Qualification tactics (those are stolen!, sorry Michael), and he was a fun guy to hang out with too.

I cannot wait to take Braddock’s Social Circle Mastery. (You WILL teach this in Houston: Jedi Mind Trick Phrase). Seriously, though, thanks guys for the seminar. I would gladly pay the asking price again to take another seminar with you guys.

A strange thing has happened, I don’t feel the need for other materials anymore and I don’t want to read ‘extra’ books on pickup that might try to derail me from my path. It’s just different ’seeing’ it in person; you guys who haven’t been need to get your _____ to a bootcamp and start approaching women. The other day I ran a mile with my brain screaming ‘NOOO, you can’t do this…’ (I haven’t done that since high school, and I shaved a couple minutes off my high school time). Don’t listen to your mind guys, just act, or listen to Braddock then act.

Thanks guys.

Ha! I can’t even post a review without making it seem like an opener now. Anyway, Miami bootcamp was led by Braddock and Mr. M. Me and 7 others attended and I knew I was in the same boat as the others as everyone seemed nervous and apprehensive about the weekend. Regardless, both instructors went into detailed lectures on everything from AA, to holding your own values, building comfort…etc etc. The theory was backed by multiple personal stories which were highly entertaining but informative on the creative ways these guys handled different situations. In all over 3 days we had over 16 hours of lecture and i’ve walked away with a notebook completely filled like a gold mine of mind-blowing material.

First day of lectures is designed mainly as a confidence booster with talks on value and flipping your notions of why women shouldn’t be placed on pedestals. Then opening and transitions are covered with the understanding that on the field that night, there really would be a lot of blow outs and no closures. Second and third day built on the foundation and continued coverage with attraction, qualification, and building comfort and finally closing. These days started with a detailed debriefing on each person’s good and bad sets and what weaknesses should be improved on. As for the lectures there was a lot of over lap that at first can be confusing (when to start framing for example) but you eventually realize there is more gray zone and you can revert to earlier techniques if one approach is not working (rewind and start different.) The overlap also reemphasize what you learned in prior sessions.

The field experience was just as educational. Braddock was constantly available giving immediate feedback on positives and negatives. Other instructors were also there but it didn’t help much when they demoed as it was too loud to hear anything. I realized that by doing a few warm-up sets my AA dissappated and approached several sets with multiple women and got a least a good conversation started. I would go back to Braddock or Mr M to give updates and Braddock would shrug and point to another set to open. One 3-set that I got blown out by before, I was able to reengage simply by Braddock asking me to ask them “why they were so serious?” line.
My last set on Saturday night was two women on a bed. I plopped down next to them and “apologized for being late.” They loved it and ended up kiss closing one of them at a different bar. During the whole routine I was constantly trying all the techniques Mr. M had taught us that day including teasing, saying why you couldn’t date her, push/pull, keno escalation …etc and it appeared to work like a charm (or she was just stupid drunk regardless, it seemed to fall into play with her. She wanted to come back to hotel withh me but her friend had driven her friends car so logistics came into play.

So, the bottom line is $3K may seem hella expensive, but is chump change compared to the value you have received. My only experience to this subculture prior to all this was having read the “Game” when it came out. never even knew about the forums or whatever else and didn’t understand the routines enough to even try it out on one set; yet in one weekend I’ve come out with great strategies, new confidence, and an urge to learn to become better. I met a great group of guys who helped me out and gave me more constructive advice to me than many of my other friends ever did. I wish them all the best and hope to sarge with them in the future. Finally, personal thanks to Braddock and Mr. M both of whom are highly recommended!

now, when the idea popped out to finally try an actual live bootcamp, i was very scared. I didnt know if i should do it or not, since 2950 is pretty much all my money in the bank, and i still had to put in major extra hours at my work to come up with the rest i needed. But i finally came to the conclusion, i need to take a risk because im very passionate about the venusian arts science. So against my mom’s will (which we got into huge arguments that lasted for weeks when she found out how much it cost). So i signed up and waiting anxiously for the weekend to come.

It came, and before i knew it was inside a conference room with other men who was here for the same reason as me. (I couldnt believe how privileged i am to have the seminar 1 hour away from the oc, people came from all over the nation!) I was in disbelief cause i was finally there. The Braddock began the first day seminar and i was shocked. Not only was his information very detailed and easily understandable, but it was filling these holes i had to my previous gaming experience from reading “The Mystery Method.”

Unfortunately, i am underage so i was not able to go to the clubs; so i drove back to the oc.

Day 2 game, and it was time for me to meet my daygame instructor. I was extremely nervous (and had trouble sleeping the night before) . His name is prestige, and i found it funny cuz i saw a a store on hollywood blvd named “prestige.” He was a very unique experience. We began by discussing the basic principles of daygame, and man was it interesting. So we leave to a day festival to began live field practice. I was extremely nervous, and didnt have the guts to open. So i finally asked prestige to open a set up for me, and he gladly did. He was extremely calm and cool about it, and it gave me the confidence to finally began opening sets. I loved the fact that throughout out the field practice he was giving tips and advice on how to improve the minor holes i was committing (i myself believe that the little things can make a huge difference!). I gladly took all the advice and tips he can give me, it was very encouraging. I was able to open 7-8 sets.

So I go back to the conference room to begin the seminar. This time The Don was speaking. This was the most interesting and exciting part i was waiting for…..Qualification, attraction, and comfort!!!! I was storming up my notebook with a massive amount of notes, I loved it! On a sidenote, The Don and Braddock have a very passionate way of speaking and it seriously kept me glued on to every word that came out of his mouth……later that night, i drive home once again and began to talk to this girl i know through text. I ran through a lof of the techniques taught in qualification and it was working great, i was in joy.

The third and final last had finally arrived. I was a bit bummed out because i knew im gonna miss this once in a lifetime experience. I met up with Prestige once again, and this time he brought his girlfriend. She was very nice and polite. Prestige has good taste. We go to a mall and my nervousness snuck in again.

My first open was with a woman working at a business suit store, she was middle eastern and very attractice…….. It was a disaster! I litteraly began “milking” the opener and everytime i tried to change the subject she would follow up with more “choosing the right suit” talking. Prestige stepped in, and suddenly turned the table. He was now in a normal conversation with her, and showing DHV when speaking. He calmly corrected me on what went wrong. It made sense, and tried to avoid it on my next sets

The next store was a chick store and went in because his girl was there. I saw this cute girl, i loved the way she was dressing so i had to approach her; and did. We began talking about clubbing and she began telling me that she went to a club the night before that was either all gangster looking, or too young for her. I stood there in awe because i can’t even get into a club and that must means I must be old enough for her taste. So then she began showing interest, and i was feeling bliss. I would have never approached this girl because she seemed like the type that was too cool for me, or because she seems to be different than me, but I learned we had a lot of things in common. Lastly i asked for her number, she gladly did but i couldnt understand it because it was a foreign number (i still cant even call my own hometown in south america because of all these different numbers you need to type in) So i suddenly told her “nevermind, and have a good day” Prestige soon after told me that i could have approached the ending situation better through these different tactics he explained.

I then approached a girl working at another chik shop (hired gun?). i immediately went up to her and asked her if she worked there. She said she does but cant help me out or something like that. So i said nevermind,took a step away, but then came right back and told her the next statement “Excuse me, this is ackward. But you are absolutely gorgeous, and would have kicked myself for not saying hi” she loved it! and then i began qualifying her, and did. I then got her number and departed.

Suddenly, a blonde girl with headphones in her ears and looking like she doesnt want to talk to anybody began walking by. At first i didn’t want to, but then Prestige told me to do it, so i did! I quickly rememebered braddock’s method of how to signal to take your ear phones off. It worked with ease, and i then through my direct opener, and she gave me a huge smile and began saying thanks with an accent. We began talking, she was russian (which was pretty sexy). I then got her number and departed, Prestige was perfectly executing the art of looking like you’re doing anything but looking obvious. I told him the results, and congratuled me and smiled. I felt pretty good, i couldn’t believe i was actually doing it!!!

At one moment, Prestige had to use the bathroom, so he gave me the mission to open at least 1 girl before he comes back. I excitedly took the challenge and went up to a girl working at a dessert store. I quickly began conversating and before i knew it i had her number. Cool!

It was time to finally head back and we did (I approached around 8 other girls also during in the field). This time The Don and Braddock were speaking at the seminar together. Once again, i was in ecstacy with the information i was receiving, i felt like i was holding the holy notebook of all holy notebooks.

The bootcamp finally ended, and quickly i began to miss it. The same night i began talking to the 2nd girl who’s number i got. Today i’ve been talking to her some more and its going great so far (i’ve been using a lot of the techniques given that i wrote down on my notes)

Today i went back to college, and i remember what Prestige had told me about keeping active with practice. So on my first class i opened to this girl who was sitting next to me, and it worked great. Then i saw this beautiful hispanic girl that i knew i wanted to talk to. So i waited till after class and opened, it worked smooth, and got her number……….. i was stocked!!!!

Overall, the bootcamp was totally what i wanted to gain from my expectations. I highly recommend it!!

I want to give a thank you to Braddock, The Don, Prestige, Suave, Saphore, and all the other instructors there helping out.

I can’t wait till i go back outside!

Macheen, sorry we missed you at the club man. It was a good time. Reading what you wrote though, I’m kind of disappointed that the rest of us missed out on your day game! Sounds like you had a blast, and it didn’t cost you 30 bucks to get in the damn door

All you guys out there that are keyboard jockeying it up right now, you need to break out. You need to take one of these bootcamps and get out there and start talking with women. I guarantee that you will be kicking yourself when you look back and see how easy and fun it is! The instructors really are normal guys just like you and me and they want to see you succeed. We got way more guidance and help than I expected, and I want to get into that a little bit here.

Not only did we have The Don and Braddock, but we had Prestige, who was not only helping out Macheen with his day game but helping the rest of us out at night, two approach coaches (Suave and Sephora) who I can easily say brought my game up several notches, and one advanced student (don’t know your pseudonym dude, sorry) who 6 months ago was joe average and now is picking up the most ridiculously hot women ever, including playmates. I saw him leave the bar with this girl and all I could think when I saw her was “God damn!”

Ok, that’s enough rambling (where’s Sephora to keep me on track when I need him?), it’s time to get down to brass tacks:

Braddock:
When I first saw this guy I thought he was 180 degrees off who I was. He’s a tall thin guy with long hair poking out from under his crooked ball cap, and his style is busy! From the “Affliction”-style shirt, to the faux-torn jeans, to the lip ring I wasn’t even sure what to look at. One thing for sure is that he’s got his look, and indeed the rest of his shit, together. He’s high energy, and he commands presence.

Once he started talking, I realized my initial impression, my “thin-slice” if you will, was completely off. I don’t want to start giving away details, since the man still has to live a personal life, but I think it’s safe to say that every man in that room felt like he could connect to Braddock on a personal level through shared experience, be it from having the same family life, to having similar experiences with work or school, or even about his passions in life.

Speaking of which, Braddock’s passion shows through 100% of the time. He loves this shit. He loves it so much he can barely stay inside his own skin, he just wants to jump out and show you all of the possibility that’s out there waiting for you. It’s impossible not to feel amped after a talk with this guy. Thank you, Braddock, for turning my nervousness into excitement, and pushing my boundaries in the field. If you’re ever back home and you need to get away for a bit, give me a shout.

The Don:
There’s a very good reason they call him The Don. This guy makes Michael Corleone look amateur. He comes off immediately as the boss. Cool and comfortable, he could be running a Fortune 500 company and an international crime syndicate at the same time, and still spend his nights fucking hot women.

The Don’s command presence doesn’t stem from ruling with an iron fist of intimidation however, it comes from him being able to make you feel like he’s your best friend who grew up to be a cool guy. He is an absolute wealth of knowledge and experience, both in the classroom and out in the field. Within seconds of meeting him you’ll be shooting the shit and laughing about “Chodey MacDougall”, the stereotype of a loser he uses in stories as a warning of who not to be.

With The Don in your corner you could have 100 drinks thrown in your face, and be laughing with him about it as you approach your next set. The Don is a rock: Immovable and permanent. This is what a real Alpha Male looks like. If you’re a laid back, low key guy like me most of the time he is the perfect example that you don’t have to be doing flashy magic tricks to get women.

Suave and Sephora:
Sorry to lump you two into the same category here, but I couldn’t find a way to talk about one of you without the other. Both of you were enormously helpful to me by leading me by example. When I think of how to casually open a girl, I think of Suave easily talking to a 4-set of tall leggy blondes, and high fiving them.

Same thing with Isolation. I can intellectually understand how to isolate a girl, but I couldn’t get it done in the field. Sephora just wings me, isolates the obstacle so I can see what it looks like, then brings her back. Now it’s my turn and thanks to his little game of show and tell it’s a skill that’s going to stick with me for life.

After my sets both of these guys were giving me little debrief points, I’d internalize them, and then it’s right back out into the fray to strike out on my own.

There’s so much more I could write , but this is already so long that most people aren’t going to read it (Damn Americans and your lousy attention spans ).

Before I do sign off however, I need to say that it’s not all sunshine and roses. Guys, if you’re going to take this bootcamp you need to work. You’re going to have fun, but you can’t just sit back and soak it in. In four years of university I took maybe a dozen pages of notes. I’m just not a note taker. On this bootcamp I wrote 30 pages. 30! That’s ten years of note taking in 3 days! And at night? “Who dares wins” boys. If you want the victory you have to risk the defeat. You have to go out there and lay it all on the line. If you’re going to go out there and lie to the instructors, and more importantly yourself; if you’re going to make up bullshit excuses about why you can’t do it; if you’re going to quibble about the tiny details, missing the forest for the trees: Stay home. Keep your 3 grand and waste it on chips and beer and World of Warcraft!

Take the Blue Pill, tell yourself you “don’t agree with this kind of thing”, and let the real men get down to business.

Not just game changing…life changing

---

I don’t feel obligated to post a review for any reason except that it’s easily one of the best value for my money services I’ve ever invested in. What I thought was going to be a barrage of theory and real-world instruction on gaming, was exactly that and more. It became a wake up call for me to become the best person that I can be in life.

Sure, I am so fucking excited to get out there and practice this stuff (once I catch up on some sleep), because improving my game is a huge part of what I want from life. It’s not the only thing, and this bootcamp helped me realize that. Many of the lessons in our class were not just about improving your skill in the field, they were also lessons on improving your life skills and putting your best foot forward. I think the point here being that you can be great at game, but if that’s all that you’ve got in life, than that’s “weak sauce” (Braddock). Bottom line, the game is awesome and everything taught this weekend was invaluable, but to be at the top of game, you have to constantly be looking to be at the top of your life. For me personally, I think I started getting into this partly because I wanted validation and I thought that if I could pull a bunch of women with ease, that would make me satisfied with my life. That’s wrong. I realized from the boot camp, that validation comes from being the true person that you want to be. In turn it will be easier for everything else to fall into place…including women.

Alright enough philosophy…the bootcamp was really incredible. I won’t rehash everything that the other guys went through, but I want to point out some things that stood out to me.

First off passion. The instructors are not bullshit. The are organized, well versed, and they know what the hell they are talking about. They back it up with real world examples and in-field demos. The examples of what not to do are awesome, because I can think back to times when I’ve done exactly what was mentioned and got blown out hard. You can’t make that stuff up.

Secondly, you cannot be a wallflower here. These guys will push you hard in the field. They really want to make sure you are learing, applying, and getting your money’s worth. Take full advantage of this, as most of you will never have anyone push you as hard while you are gaming. It’s the only way you get feedback.

Third, at the end of it all, you are armed to the teeth with what you need. No more excuses. It’s all a matter of applying the material and getting better. None of these guys are supermodels who can pull chicks with their looks alone (no offense guys). Walking down the street, you’d never know they were all exceptional at attaining beautiful women with ease.

OK quick feedback on the instructors:

Braddock:

This guy is passionate about everything that he talks about. This makes learning fun and easy because the energy is contagious. Braddock brings a lot of his own life experiences into the instruction which is nice because I think at some level we all could relate to that. One of the things I loved was at the beginning of the class, he went into his life story and shared how he got into all of this. He also talked about improving your life and life experiences. Again I can’t even begin to tell you how much this meant to me.

It didn’t surprise me that this guy is awesome in the field. He brings passion and energy there as well. He was good at pushing me into sets and providing feedback. The following day after going out during the nights, he went through each student and evaluated them quite accurately, providing insightful feedback and not holding back on the good and bad parts of your game. Well done.

The Don:

The Don was a no BS guy. He wants to share as much knowledge with you as he possibly can within the time given. He is a teacher that you want to take notes from. I have so many fucking notes I’m not even sure…well you get the point. You know The Don is a Jedi Master at this shit. Even so, he is easily approachable with questions and handily offers advice for a given situation. For me, The Don’s instruction answered many of my game questions and really solidified what I had studied. It was put into layman’s terms.

I liked The Don in field because he was a calming influence. He doesn’t need to use a lot of flash and props. I like that because I don’t see myself doing much of that either so I could relate. He was equally good at pushing the students and coming in during set to give advice. To give you an example of his skill, he pushed me into a two set and I think within 5 minutes I was making out with an extremely attractive woman. Thank you sir.

Prestige:

One of the nicest guys I met all weekend. Very laid back and down to earth. I was sorry that I didn’t have more of an opportunity to learn from him in the field (he wasn’t intructing during the day). He was able to give me some help on sticking points that I had and I think he is probably a real hands-on instructor. I did get to talk to his girl about what she thought about all this gaming stuff, and the sentiment was that most women actually appreciate a guy who has some skills and isn’t like every other tool out there. That was cool to hear.

Sephora and Suave:

Our approach coaches…You guys were fun to have around and you brought the “hot sauce” as well. It was fun watching these guys because you could really get a good feel for the progression model. I was able to practice some skills with them as my wings at one time or another. The other thing that was cool, was that these guys were not “LA”, yet they still had success in the field. This is a good confidence booster knowing that it’s not about looks or image, it’s about skills. Keep it up guys. You will make fine instructors.

Last thing I have to say is that I had some major reservations on this, but after going through it, the tools and lessons that I have learned, have been something that I don’t think I could have gotten from anywhere else. I can’t speak for the other guys, but I’m ready to move forward with improving my game and my life. Thanks.

Braddock & DaHunter 1 on 1 – Los Angeles, July 2008

This is another overdue review – this time for my 1-on-1 with Braddock and Dahunter in Los Angeles in July.

I did a bootcamp in April this year, and thought it was amazing. I worked quite hard on things after that, going out and just approaching girls like demon, and during this I found a few sticking points – in particular sexual escalation and sexual vibe, AA, and dealing with groups of girls. I chose to do a 1-on-1 to work on these points, as well as some daygame and relationship management and inner game thrown in.

Both Braddock and DaHunter were on my bootcamp. The reason I chose to do a 1-on-1 with them both was this:

Braddock – I really resonated with as a person, and his background is similar to mine. I like his thought processes and he is very analytical like me. I thought he would be very good for breaking down interactions and explaining theory to me. In the field he is playful, and his style is similar to mine (or what I aspire to). I had seen him with girls and he was amazing, and very good with groups. He is also excellent at inner game, something he has worked on a lot. I’d say he is very all round and complete.

DaHunter – because quite simply, he is amazing at sexual escalation. He is smooth, and very sexual with girls.

..and because I thought they were really good guys when I met them at Bootcamp.

Day 1:

We met up and went over the structure of the few days, and what I wanted to cover. We got stick deep into theory and covered sexual escalation in great detail. Obviously I won’t go into the details here, but both Braddock and DaHunter were awesome.

That night we went to a couple of bars, and the got lucky at the Roosevelt Hotel, with a few girls cruising around by the pool bar area. I did quite a few sets, and watched the guys do some too. My head was spinning from the day and I was quite nervous, but overall it was a good base, and gave the guys a lot to give me feedback on.

Day 2:

Debrief was key. DaHunter was quite brutal and honest, which is what I wanted and what I paid for. He was able to pinpoint my sticking points in the sexual escalation and he gave me some KEY stuff on conversation that really started to make things fall into place for me. From there, both Braddock and DaHunter carried on from the day before with more sexual escalation theory, and we went over some game scenarios that come up, and did some role-play on them etc.

A mate of theirs Kevin came along and did some daygame theory for me too, thanks for that man!

Braddock then took me through some wicked theory on inner game, relationship management and comfort.

That night we went to Area, it was pumping. I approached lots of girls again and made some massive inrpads personally inroads.

This stuff feels very clunky when you learn something new – I thought my game was going along well, but then it suddenly felt very new and clumsy with my new info and sticking points exposed. It will come in time though…DaHunter said that can happen.

Conclusion:

I could have spent days with these guys, they are insanely knowledgeable. It was an awesome 2 days, and I’d recommend it to anyone, and TOTALLY recommend Braddock and DaHunter for the reasons I have said earlier.

2 days was a big financial commitment, but worth it in my opinion. It really helped me lift my game to the next level, and above all, build sexual confidence. This has permeated all aspects of my life since getting back to London believe it or not – because I am more confident as a man. I also learnt great stuff on relationship management, comfort, daygame and inner game.

The 2 days was key because they guys got to see me out on the first night, so they could pull my game apart and analyse it the next day and go from there. So, if you can save and get the cash and you are thinking of 1-on-1, go for 2 days.

If you are thinking of doing a 1-on-1, really think about what aspects you want to improve on. This can only happen by going out a lot and doing sets.

Above all, it is being with these guys in the field and watching how they interact that is key – learning through osmosis.

Cheers Braddock and Daunter.

I had read Magic Bullets and I had seen some good dvd’s from others and I also had been in the field for some time. I might ad, that before I started out with the game I probably was a 6 natural on a scale of 1 to 10. So would I still need to go to a bootcamp where they teach me stuff that I already new about? I am in a lucky position that the money was not a big deal, so my curiosity took over and I went.

Guys, the moment I walked in that room and had eye contact with Braddock I got in some kind of awesome trance. The way Braddock communicates is superb. He knows how to open up your mind, body and soul and pump it full with information, skills and mindset. You actually feel changed afterwards! Better still, in the weeks after the bootcamp I then realized that for some reason everything I was taught was still inside of me and would get out or up whenever I needed it in the field. Don’t get me wrong, after a night in the field I still get back to basics. I still ad new routines to my skill set. But now these are pinpoint actions. Now I can tell exactly where to look for and in many cases I can fill in without going back to Magic Bullets or other products. I can feel that I really made a jumpstart on my path to mastery.

Braddock is an awesome PUA. I have seen him demo on a vogue model with so tight game. It was great to see that. But here is the thing. At no point he left his students to their faith. He could demo and still help us out with whatever we would need. He was master of the whole situation. He would tell us what to do and would show us how when needed. The way he did that was stimulating and motivating, so you could actually feel yourself growing every minute out there in the field on bootcamp. Braddock is an aboslute Master in Teaching!

I probably already new that the stuff we are taught would work. But now I can feel that inside of me and it has become part of me. Last week I had a flight to Morocco with some kind of Islamic airline and I saw the cockpit crew standing near the gate. Among them was this HB9 female pilot (!). There was not a single moment of hesitation in me and I walked right up to her I got into the set quite okay and then lost it, probably being to bold on some topics. She did tell me that there were only two female pilots in the country where she came from. Now why would I tell you this story instead of all the lays I have also been getting since the bootcamp. It shows that really something inside of me has changed. I really don’t give a f*ck if I get blown out of set. I know I am the prize and nobody can tell me anything else. And yes even now sometimes AA shows up, but now I really now how to handle it. If I feel some AA coming up it makes me smile. First of all because I gave it this Donald Duck voice and secondly I know how to get over it. I know that I always will.

Thanx Braddock, thank you so much for an inspiring weekend. It was worth every penny.

Braddock Bootcamp – Denver, CO July 2008

As I was pretty familiar with the theory, it was when we went out to the clubs where I feel I really excelled and learned the most. This is because I was already decently proficient in the theory but was always too scared to go out and apply it by myself. I purposely wanted to push myself beyond my comfort and I benefited greatly from doing so. I let Braddock know this and while in field he would throw me into situations and teach me new routines and games to use. The first night I gathered more non-flaky phone numbers than I could have imagined and the second night I left with a 3-set. This is testament to the QUALITY of Braddock’s teachings!

I am writing this about two weeks after the bootcamp. My results have been phenomenal. I’ve gone on many dates, often more than one in the same day. Just last night a HB9 drink server forced me to take her number. Not that I’m complaining, we’re going to a wine-tasting event next week. Taking a bootcamp with Braddock has been one of the best decisions of my life. It will be yours too!

Here are some of my recommendations for when you decide to take a bootcamp:
-Go in with specific goals. Mine was to learn how to create options with women.
-Be willing to force yourself out of your comfort zone. It’s not that hard and you learn the most.
-Learn to love the process, the end-result simply being a (GREAT) reward for applying it correctly. I’ve been blown out so many times it makes me laugh
-Use your ability with women as a supplement to your already stellar life, not to define it. If you don’t think you have a stellar life, there is no better time than NOW to start…. and Braddock’s Bootcamp is a perfect way!

Cheers all and welcome to the good side!

Braddock Bootcamp – Houston TX, April 2008

A little back round on me, I had got into learning about pickup about a little over a year prior to the boot camp. It had been nothing short of a obsession from the first day. I had been devouring every piece of info from every source possible. I was absolutely blown away at the level of understanding that Braddock has and how much study and effort went into being so well cultivated. The most amazing thing was just how much I took out of this seminar. I thought that I had the winning formula prior to the boot camp and that I just need to keep working on it, yes and no. I also believed i had all the information that I ever needed, but seeing braddock work and listening to his seminar made me wonder how I ever got along with out it. Even though there was value to all the lessons that I had learned from the constant trial and error which had more I a semblance to beating my head against a brick wall. I kind of wish that I would have taken this off that bat it would have saved me a lot of pain and agony. I can see a amazing increases in my success. For that reason I waited a bit to write this review because I wanted to digest all the information and base it on my own experiences. All I have to say is that it truly did shatter my reality. It kicked me in the balls and I loved every minute of it. It help me identify many of my sticking points, but it also helped me realize how money I am.

Frame Frame Frame, “You must act like the popular kid during high school.” oh yah i think i can do that, i know I have read it numerous times. Remember those guys in high school, hell the last two years I was one. Ok so act like a dick right, yeah that got me real far in my calibration i had taken it so far to the extreme and had seen the range from women, nuclear blow outs to tears. Wow thats not fun to calibrate, prior to the boot camp I had almost given up on negs I seemed to be getting laid only in spite of them. Although without them it was hard to stand out and attraction was much harder to come by. So there stood Braddock and in his first three minutes of explanation about negs aka teasing boom It hit me. Much like all those numerous women had tried but ha sucks to be them, being short makes it hard to land that right cross to the head. He explained why you can walk up and say some of the most insane stuff that had i said a day earlier would have gotten a drink thrown in my face, and make them hilariously funny. The seminar made it so painfully obvious why my negs weren’t working. I was shooting in the dark, I did not truly understand value. I would say some of the most heinously mean stuff with no hint of kidding. I would then stare it down, and get royally trounced. However with some minor modification I get girls falling all over me, and laughing there asses off . Braddock also gave enough money examples to use for the rest of your life, although obviously this is all geared for you to build your own material out of. I’m not saying this is the end all and that you don’t need to go out and practice. However for some reason all the podcast, ebooks, and forums, couldn’t convey in one year some of the stuff that I had learned from this boot camp with ten minutes of explanation. I found some major holes in my game and closed them. Holes still exist, but its not for having a lack of adequate tools to close them. It’s more a consequence of the process applying the material learned, and practice. Enough about the seminar portion I cant tell you how much i took out of that. The night portion of the boot camp had relinquish some equally useful experiences.

I felt beat the heck out of and worn out, but i wish the seminar was ten days long because each night was worth its weight in gold. Braddock and the other approach coaches kept the boot camp on track making sure no one had been left out or did not have a chance to open numerous sets with every instructor. Although I felt little pressure as compared to some of the local lair experiences. it was a large group of good guys and no one seemed to be on a ego trip. It would be hard because this is a massively humbling experience for anyone. There was little standing around, but when it happened it was mostly to brag about the shit that you could not believe you just pulled to the other guys. I cant tell you how paramount it is to see some one that has already mastered this stuff to do even the simplest things such as body rocking. If you haven’t seen this, then drop everything your fucking doing and see when this mofo is coming to your town.

This is a great boot camp. Braddock has both sides of the coin, it is one thing to do. Yet entirely another to teach and he excels at both. If you dare to shatter your reality, and rebuild your self in to not only a ass pulling machine but a more confident competent person this is the best way to do it.

Shifty

Braddock Bootcamp – Orlando FL, July 2008

Andrew, Orlando FL

I wasn’t distracted, bored, or anything like that at all because EVERYTHING he said was full of value. TONS. I have never had a speaker be so captivating. It probably helped that it was only 45 minutes though. 45 jam-packed minutes and he had tons more to say. Anyway:

He identified a lot of problems that I have had in college, such as exactly how to deal with social circle AMOGs, hot girls versus slutty girls, and identifying a bad social circle. I am going to reprise his points so you can take advantage of them, and also because I didn’t take notes and want to remember all of this shit.

~social circle AMOGs: Be polite, but not nice. Say hi to them when you see them, but don’t go out of your way to be nice or overly friendly. Befriend their friends, one at a time, and build relationships with them. It’s a lot harder for him to AMOG you and have everyone laugh at you when they just kicked it with you, a day before. Eventually he will extend you an olive branch. Don’t be over-eager in accepting it, but accept it; doing otherwise would be interpreted as hostile/aggressive.

~hot classy girls vs. slutty girls: The rule of thumb of hot women is generally you work your way down: getting the hotter girls will help you get the less-hot girls. If you want to bang all the slutty girls, make out with them, do so, but NOT when the high classy girls you want to date are around. Getting the high classy girls is a BUZZ game. You want to build BUZZ about yourself in their social circle so they start talking about you, when you are not around. This is an indication that your value is starting to get to them. Around the hot classy girls, flirt with everyone but NEVER PULL THE TRIGGER. Let them pull the trigger around you. You want to come off as super-picky about who you date, around them.

~bad social circle: If you’re low -value in your group of friends, even if you like them, CUT THEM LOOSE. Sorry. It’s a lot harder to rebuild an identity in your group of friends, than it is to start a new one.

~In general, understand the importance of praising your friends and letting them hold court.

~People always go where the value is. It may sound shitty but it’s true. Accept it, don’t resist it.

~Don’t hemorrhage your value by always being seen with uncool people. Sorry.

Braddock clearly knew his shit and came from a strong background of being cool, although he clearly went through the trial and error phase of getting things to work. I never was cool in high school, until senior year, and by then I was at such a disadvantage that I was just basically tolerable. The socialization process really basically only started in college with me, and it’s still sometimes challenging for me. One thing I have an issue is that sometimes people will ask me about high school. Seeing as how I have few stories, Braddock emphasized the importance of nonchalance. Just listen, if there’s a conversation you can’t contribute to. Don’t lie, and don’t pretend to be more important or oversell what you did. It will catch up to you.

If someone asks you your major, how would you answer? Nonchalantly, “Sociology.” (Or whatever.)

“Did you bang a lot of girls in high school?”
With the same intonation as “Sociology”: “Nah man, high school wasn’t that cool for me, I just studied a lot.” or “Why you asking about high school man? Let’s get drunk”.

A lot of value in this speech and I highly endorse Braddock, in general.

best,
stones

Came into town for this (I signed up just days before, and really only started exploring the community a few week ago after reading The Game a few times in a row). I was skeptical at first, but it came down to decided I needed to change something – and at 30, it was probably the internal wiring of how I dealt with the opposite sex.

Atmosphere was laid back, and friendly. Had a diverse group of guys that were really cool. Braddock taught the first day and we ended up going 2 hours over just working on opening, theories, and a lot of the psychological aspect of females, and the AFC shit that we had been conditioned to for our lives. The classroom was energetic (having read the free part of Magic Bullets before I showed up helped, kind of like perusing Cliffs Notes of a book – not all the meat, but enough wavetops so you can keep up easily.) Ran some practices first, then had to scramble to get our shit together in time to hit the club by 10.

Loud meatmarket. Awesome. First thing I found out was that I am a direct opener type of guy. It’s just my style. So we all warmed the room up, got social, started hitting sets, just focusing on opening and transitioning. OK if you run out of things to say (which happened a time or two). But even when the place was packed later, the energy was fucking amazing. It was like we owned the club, and everyone was on the same team. Really made me think about my normal running buddies, and how they constantly DLV me and the rest of the group in the name of “good ol male ball busting” and realizing what fucking idiots we were.

Kisser introduced me to a HB9 that I had already direct opened earlier, she had a unique name, so I said it before he could finish the intro. At this point I had opened 10 or so sets, so I chilled with her for a while… which led to dancing, escalating kino, isolation, a few heavy make out sessions… only to get nailed by logistics and luck. She was in town staying at her cousins (who drove and wouldn’t let her go), plus her mother was visiting and staying at the same place too – and she didn’t want to not be there when her mom woke up. Which sucks because I had the deal sealed. But, number collected, we’ll see.

Next day class rolled into the whole model. We focused a lot on attraction and qualification after the recap of the previous night. More analysis of how the attraction ladder breaks down in the mind of a chick. Started hitting on games, how to DHV, qualify, kino better… a walkthrough of the entire thing from opening to the make out or number (which was our goal for the 2nd night).

Had more time that night, so changed, got dinner while reading over my notes, and hit venue #2. This time it was more of a laid back bar, but still packed. A bunch of us beat the instructors there, so by the time they walked in they already saw us warming up the room and in sets… it was classic. I opened about 15 sets that night, and ended up getting some early flirting/kino with one of the waitresses who was a HB8… and she kept fucking with me the entire night, even when I was in sets. Very physical chick, so I made her my goal (hired gun, was a little advanced so I got Prestige’s and The Don’s advice on how to work it – basically be seen with chicks the entire night, kinoing, laughing.. make her jealous she’s on the clock). During the course I reopened a pair with Kisser coming in as wing and ended up having a girl completely into me… I had renamed her Mitch, made her my bodyguard,played a game with her, did awesome, could have escalated to comfort. But since I kind of had my eyes elsewhere, I blew it off… oh well. Chalk one up to learning.

Final day worked on wrap up, comfort, seduction (Braddock was pretty damed funny here, even slightly molested The Don), phone game, and day game.

Okay, one quick point here – Kisser taught our Day Game piece. He might be qualified for this. Why? Because he was 20 minutes late… because he had just picked up a girl at whole foods. And when I say girl, I mean the one who won the national beauty pageant (you know the one I’m referring to… the BIG one… I’m just not type who or the pageant name so this post doesn’t ping on a google search) several years ago. When he got to our class, she had already told him she did the pageant, but he googled her, and holy fucking shit. Almost like that story in The Game with the playmate, but he actually had her following him around the store at the end. I’m sold.

Overall, amazing weekend. Especially if you live in a large area – the network you’ll build in the first few days is worth it. I’ve got a move coming up to SoCal, and I’m pumped, because not only did I rip out a lot of old wiring, but I realized the lifestyle change I’m about to implement. Our group was great, a lot of quick learners and team players, multiple hookups this weekend, and shitloads of learning and paradigm breaking. So much simply came from them pushing me farther than I go.

Awesome job, guys. And thanks to the extra instructors who helped out. I’ll be in the lounge…. under the name Zulu.

Hey guys,

This is a long overdue review of the the 25 April LA Bootcamp I did with Braddock and Mr M as lead instructors. It’s awesome writing it as it has bought back all the memories of the weekend and the points I learned, so I hope it helps some of you on deciding whether or not to do a BC too. Apologies to the instructors for taking so long to get this out! It’s long too, email me if you want the hard-cover bound edition

Quick background on me:

I’m 32, have been reading about gaming since February, and going out properly using the methods since March I guess. I read a bit of MM beforehand, and bits and pieces from David D and Mehow. Basically I stumbled upon all of this because I was SICK of the way that AA, and just being a total pussy and nice guy around women, was controlling my life. I had been with a few girls, slept with 50-odd, never had big problems ending up with sleeping with them etc – but I would be chosen by the girl if you know what I mean and a lot was through university social circle and since then it was not great. I wanted to work on developing skills that allow me to become the chooser of women and get 8’s upwards. And have the skills so, when I find a girl I like, I’m not looking over my shoulder the whole time and can be the a man and be solid in myself so I can keep her and give her an exciting time with me etc etc. I have blown relationships before by my low self-esteem puncturing it to pieces.

So I mucked around researching various bootcamp option, and then more time wondering about shelling out the cash, and then just did it. I chose the LA bootcamp because Mr M and Braddock were leading it (I had heard good things and I liked Braddock’s blog) and because I had a good feeling about LA and the hot chicks there. I thought learning on hotties is good, as it would be desensitizing.

Pre-BC wonderment:

I’ll just say this now – I know I weighed up spending 3 grand for a while, but if you look at it, guys spend money like it is going out of fashion on stuff like booze and ciggies and dates etc etc. Save a bit/lot of this depending on your financial situation and use it for a bootcamp. Get another job for a while, whatever. If anyone is interested in girls and more importantly personal development as a man, then they have the awareness and brains to pull 3k from somewhere (legal…no bank heists). This is so life-changing, that I can’t believe people complain about not getting chicks, but can’t knuckle down and save the cash to do something about it. So – no brainer on the cash side guys.

I was wondering what the instructors would be like. I had a small part of me that was worried they would be douchebags and sleazy characters. Haha. I couldn’t have been more wrong. When arrived at the seminar I met Mr M and two guys he had bought out from the UK with him, Dax and 5.0. What struck me first was how chilled and cool they all were, like guys I would want to hang out with. Braddock was the same (I was kind of scared of meeting Braddock, as from his blog sounded full-on!). The same could be said for the fellow bootcamp guys – all really chill and nice characters from all walks of life and all ages.

As you all know, Day 1 covers opening and transitioning. Braddock and Mr M started talking generally about the psychology of game, and then moved into the nuts and bolts. I won’t go into what is covered because that is well known, but one thing a lot of guys ask is “doesn’t it just cover magic bullets?”. Yes it does. But it goes WAY deeper – personal anecdotes and perceptions on the material from instructors make it a far deeper experience than merely reading MB. Take notes! I took about 40 pages over the few days, all a treasure chest of information that I refer to each few days now until it becomes part of me.

The day flew by, and we chose a couple of standard openers to roll with that night. I was very skeptical of openers and routines, but I have changed my tune now – I have got to say it is key for a beginner like me as my AA takes up so much of my energy that it is good to just have some stock artillery to pull out, and concentrate on other things like slowing my voice down and body language, sub comms etc etc. That night we were to go to a club that one of the students hooked us up with. Solid. I dashed home for a quick rest and power nap as I had flown in from the UK the night before and was feeling in limbo. We arrived at the club and because we had a big group, it was hilarious all standing in the car-park looking ready for stealth operations. I was surprised we all got in! I was pretty nervous.

Once inside I was chatting to Dahunter (this guy is SICK), and he asked me to open this 4 set. I did and hooked initially, then sort of just drifted into chit-chat/friends mode (my specialty). Dahunter was able to pick up what I did wrong straight away. He goes “watch me open these girls” and just goes over to two hotties and starts talking. This was the first time that I saw the power of game, and how good the instructors really are. I watched – the girls looked pretty uninterested at first, in fact I thought they looked a bit annoyed. Within a minute or so their body language changed and they looked VERY interested in him, in fact after a few more minutes they looked too interested, and they were kind of clawing at him!

The night went on like this and I must have opened about 20 sets – the most cold sets in my life I think. I got blown out of a lot, but some others hooked. The instructors just kept pushing me into sets relentlessly. I worked with them all really but mostly Dahunter. They were great at giving immediate feedback on the set, and ideas for openers (occasionally I would freeze up), winging etc etc. One of the massive things was observing how the instructors operate in the field themselves – this is the stuff that expands your reality and makes you begin to re-think your beliefs, well it did for me anyway.

The other thing for me was not feeling like a creep, and actually having the opener hook and the girls looking at me like…what will he do next?? I got two numbers, one of which was right at the end, a really cute girl from Nashville in a grey skirt. I would never have talked to her but for having confidence form the other girls I had approached that night. The other big thing for me was not drinking much – I use alcohol as a crutch so I Iimited it to 2 beers that night so I could see exactly what was happening, and I could be in the moment as much as possible.

When I left, I met two Russian girls outside the club I had opened earlier in the night that bought us shots (they were not hot, but they were cool). They took me for a spin in their restored stone cold pimping 68’ Mustang and gave me a lift home! Sweet end to a sweet night. Actually I also number closed a cute Asian girl in the car park after I shared a hotdog with her, should have K-Closed. Saw Braddock roll by with a blond hottie!

NB – All the instructors that I saw pulled on the fits night I think, was that right guys? To see them in the field was awesome.

Day 2

Attraction and Qualification. Again everyone knows what the material generally is that is covered here. We had a debrief from the night before, where each guy gives a rundown of his night. I This was surprisingly good, as it bought up a lot of points which MR M and Braddock addressed therefore giving a real-life scenario as the working example to us all. Nice.

Dahunter was first up and he took us through kino escalation, sexual vibe and disqualification. He is the master of sexual escalation (and I had seen with my eyes the night before) – this was a one of the BIG areas I needed to work on as so much of my life with girls has been about the LJBF zone. It was really helpful seeing things explained, and live demos given on what he was talking about (kino, push-pull etc etc). I find this way of learning far better than just listening and taking notes.

Braddock then talked about Attraction and attraction switches, and we went over some routines and generating attraction. MR M talked on Qualification (he is the master at this) and Advanced Qualification. Braddock finished with Comfort.

I thought the instructors all worked well together with speaking each one chipping in bits there and there even when it wasn’t their section – so we were getting different perspectives and no stone was left unturned.

That night we headed out to a bar for a quick beer, then round to a club close by. The set-out was a bit more expansive than the night before, with a dance floor and then another bar at the back which was chilled and had an area to sit down. Even though I was still having some stutters on opening and building attraction, my aim for the night was sexual escalation – trying to mirror what Dahunter had taught us that day. I didn’t concentrate on qualification a whole lot, not to say I didn’t think it was important, it’s just that there’s only so much stuff one can keep in mind without becoming too mechanical and losing spontaneity.

The night went well and I had three make-outs. Dahunter and I have similar taste is girls I think, as I saw his disappearing with the girl in the red dress I had kissed earlier. So technically Dahunter has kissed me, haha.

Worth pulling out a story here: I went and talked to a girl sitting by herself, she was greek origin and really cute..and cool as it turned out. It was going well, and I was escalating well etc. Then one of her friends came over, talked to her to see if she was OK, and left. Good I thought. Then another one came over 15 mins later, a guy. I was introduced and I shook his hand blah blah blah. Anyway he did this big alpha male bone crunching handshake on me, and wouldn’t let go…he told me to fuck off or he would break my legs using kung fu! I don’t think the girl heard all of this. I just bottled, and said it was nice to meet them and walked off. I should have just called him on it in front of her but it really gave m a fright as I’m generally a pretty chill and friendly guy.

Anyway I saw Helicase, and told him what happened and asked how I could have dealt with it. He was awesome, sat me down, and had a chat. He asked me who the guy was, and he grabbed a couple of other guys and went over. Then… I see the MM guys dancing with the girl, and the guy looking angry…and then I see Helicase pretending to fuck angry bodyguard guy in the ass on the dancefoor!! One the funniest things I have seen. The guy looked like a dick, and the girl was rolling her eyes…he had crashed so badly. Helicase is a legend, just no fear!! That was really important for me to see.

Walking home and one of the guys from the bootcamp pulled over in his mint pick-up and gave me a lift, nice. Two lifts in 2 nights, I love LA.

Day 3

Again everyone knows the material here. During the debrief and on the back of my story to the guys on my run-in with angry bodyguard guy the night before, Braddock gave us some killer advice on AMOG’ing and breaking other guys state in these types of situations, this was super helpful to me and helped me look at what happened to me the night before in a new light and how I could deal with it next time.

Then…we had a treat. Savoy came along as a guest and gave us 3 hours of GOLD and anecdotes on female psychology, dating ( inc. some great stuff on state-breaks,) and seduction! If you have never seen Savoy, he looks like a laid back cowboy, pretty tall and quite stocky, totally not what I expected for the head of MM. Haha. He clearly is a BIG reservoir on dating science and walks the walk, and he is a really engaging speaker too. This was pretty damn cool I thought – the head guy coming along to lecture and talk to the students, so big ups to Savoy.

Kisser then said a few words on LMR and making out which were great,

So that wrapped it up. Savoy took us all to a bar around the road and shouted rinks, and we chatted about stuff dating and non-dating related, and played a crazy game that you put money into and these large claws come down and try to grab live lobsters! All very surreal. I told the waitress she was gorgeous on the way out – I saw Dax do it the night before, very directly with solid eye contact. I have done this before with AFC disastrous results, but this time after a weekend with these guys she was really into it, I could tell.

I left LA with a great feeling inside me, it was a special weekend.

As Mr M said, this bootcamp turned out to be some kind of super bootcamp, with a lot of awesome instructors there. I was lucky! All of the instructors have awesome game, that’s a given, they just differ in style. But one was not better than the other.

Overall the seminar was very well executed, with LOADS of info and no fluff or filler at all. Even the breaks were strictly adhered to. I felt MR M and Braddock could have talked for days on game, and it wouldn’t have got boring and wouldn’t have gone round and circles. Braddock and Mr M emailed us a handout for the whole weekend too which was brilliant and packed full of some extra info too.

Braddock:

Braddock is a very self-aware guy, and very focused with solid inner game. You get the feeling nothing would stop him in his quest whatever it was. His vibe is high-energy fun and masculine and he is pretty good looking. In fact all of the instructors are above average looking or have some edge to them, but are just regular guys like you might see out at a bar. One thing is they all dress well in their own style. As I said, I Braddock might have been quite scary, but he’s not at all. He is totally passionate about this stuff and it really shows. I really resonated with his background. He wasn’t scared to share his stories and bad times and what he had done to help himself get to where he is today. It shows that he has read a lot, AND put what he has read into practice.

In the field he is fun and is awesome at vibing. I didn’t see him in-field as much as I would have liked, but this was down to him taking his instructors duties seriously – he was literally pushing guys into sets the whole time, analyzing them and giving them feedback, helping guys practice approach. On the second night I saw him and Dahunter with one of the students for a long time, just making him approach them again and again til he got it right. He is dedicated! And the sort of guy it’s feels good to be around.

Mr M:

Mr M is also very self aware, and focused, and colme across very laid back. He is pretty short, good looking but the short thing really threw me. As a teacher he is very smooth, and he is the same way with game. He has an air of mystery about him. It is clear he has studied this stuff intensely, and has come up with his own new tactics and methods too as a result of his field work. A very intelligent guy.

In the field his height is no issue at all. It’s like he just projects above that, and he carries himself very well. Hi speech is very slow and voice projection amazing. I didn’t see him in the field as much of I would have liked either, as again he was taming his lead instructor duties seriously. However I saw him hook into a very hot Asian on the second night who was way taller than him, and this took 5 minutes! He has a very solid frame.

Dahunter:

Dahunter is very laid back, cruisy guy who looks like a pretty normal latin guy with a slight edge. He kind of looks like he wouldn’t give a shit about teaching, but he is a very articulate teacher so don’t be fooled. His sexual vibe and sexual escalation stuff was GOLD and I’d recommend anyone struggling in this area to read his stuff and try to get on bootcamp with him, he really blew me away with this aspect of game.

In the field, he is smooth and sexual. To watch him it almost looks like he isn’t doing anything, like he hardly moves at all – to see it, it is very different to Braddock’s high energy and playful style. When I first saw him talking to girls I was like…’he’s not doing anything’. But then girls would then be very interested in him.

Helicase:

Helicase looks like a conservative normal guy. He didn’t dress at all edgy, just smart. He is average looking but again has that something about him which girls would call the x-factor.

In the field he was a super-direct and a master of eye-contact. As I said, he has zero-fear! Some of the shit he was saying was hilarious and I was amazed he was getting away with it i.e. overly sexual stuff. His voice projection is really good and he just controls the situation. He has a very masculine vibe.

Kisser:

Kisser was the newest of the instructors and probably the least PUA looking guy (whatever they are supposed to look like!). He has a really happy-go-lucky vibe that comes way under the radar. A super nice guy.

In the field he was a lot of fun, and a great instructor and wing. I did quite a few sets with him and he was just adding value and giving the girls a good time, always looking out for his students. Cool snakeskin boots too bro!

Prestige:

I didn’t get to work with Prestige. He came across as having a very strong vibe, he is a really big buff guy. He wasn’t a big talker and seemed to do his thing with his strong presence.

5.0:

5.0 is nearly an instructor I think. He has awesome game! He is a magician as well so has this kind of cheeky vibe going, very high-energy and fun too with and lots of humour. He was on fire the second night and was able to hold bigger groups of girls, in fact I would say he was the best at this at the bootcamp.

In field he was awesome. He had this casanova thing going on, I don’t know what it was. And the girls loved it too. He has a really strong identity too and that came across.

Dax:
Mr M bought Dax over from the UK as an approach coach. He is not an instructor and has not trained so to speak, I think, but one of the best naturals that Mr M has ever seen. To be fair he could also be in a boy band! Pretty good looking dude. Super nice guy, very cool. His vibe was similar to 5.0’s but a little more direct perhaps.

Dax was a really good coach and really helpful. Being round him and 5.0 I felt like I was being energized and it was hard to not get caught up in their reality (a key way to be, so we were told during the seminar).

Just to say too; hearing all the instructors stories, they all used to be average with women and this attractive presence they now have this is something they have ALL created and worked at developing(except for Dax maybe!).

Conclusion

Insane weekend and a pivotal point in my life! I don’t say this flippantly either and I am not talking it up.

If you are serious about getting better at, and working on your interaction with girls, and on working on your own personal development, then do a Bootcamp. It’s not a magic bullet, but it gives you a framework to go with and work on, a toolkit. It also has the potential to expand your reality of what is possible with women and generally what is possible with social interaction, as it really blew my reality in this sense. I could have slowly learnt this over a long time maybe, but I feel this shaved maybe a year off in my own field time of messing about. And as I said, seeing live demo’s is completely different to reading about it.

Even to guys with ambitions of finding a girl for a LTR, or those in one that isn’t going well – this would be great. I mean that because we are learning to be an attractive man. It’s not just about picking up girls, in fact, Braddock talks about being outcome dependant when talking to girls and just having fun for funs sake. You can only have fun if you have a solid reality and are in touch with yourself as a guy and a human being. People in relationships will carp on about “oh, but we are in love, and we have a ‘special’ connection…”. True sometimes, but this ‘connection’ with a girl can be built if you don’t have it, or if you think you have one, it can be bettered (in my honest opinion, I could be off the mark with this). That’s why this stuff is helpful no matter where you are at with girls…unless you are a total natural and are very attractive, possible, but not many guys are like this I’d say, and not ones that are reading this. As Dax said, game has made him a better person.

Cons? Trying to think of some to give this a balanced review… I guess the main one would be that because we had a big group, there wasn’t as much personal time with instructors as I would have liked. That said, you temper this with actually having to get on the field yourself and do the stuff, rather than talking to instructors all night. There is so much to take in. But every time I needed a wing, I would just grab one of them and they would be there, so in that sense I was not left to fend for myself at all. Having lots of guys is the nature of a bootcamp and I knew this going in – I have teed up a 1-on-1 to work on certain personal things very soon.

I also came away from the weekend with lots of personal milestones, as I get social AA quite bad sometimes. It was cool just being around guys with solid frame and identity, and to hear what is possible. I have been working on myself for a few years now and know I am on the right path and that there are other guys out there who have the same thinking and who have been through similar stuff and are trying to be better dudes – sounds cheesy but from where I come from I don’t see this often and the guys are very unaware. So that was pretty cool.

Peace,

Express.

EPILOGUE:

Something to add. When I was on the plane on the way to LA, there was two smoking blonde 19/20yo hotties (one and 8, one a 9) I saw in the queue for security. I flashed a smile at them, but my AA was at level 10 so I just kept listening to my iPod. Then, later on, they came and sat by behind me in the sushi place! Again, I didn’t open. Then…while I was in the departure lounge, they came and sat in front of me – they were on my flight! I was stoked. Anyway blah blah, I just said it was all a coincidence, which it could have been, and never spoke to the on the flight either, until I got to LA I saw them at the bag check and said something like “blah blah bah, they hooked but I was so tired, and was getting off..they were continuing to Tahiti where I am sure some guy would have smoked their asses. Anyway, I vowed to never do that again…

Fast-forward to Monday on my way back to London after Bootcamp. I am putting my bag in the overhead locker in the plane, and I felt like someone is pushing me. I spin around and a girls big bag is brushing me – she is a young Scandinavian looking blonde 8.5. I open her with ‘are you carrying drugs in there?’ and she laughs. Anyway, I say to myself that as soon as the captain takes the seatbelt lights off, I’ll go and find her.

So I do…I go to the toilet and see she has a spare seat beside her, so on my way back I just sit down. I make false time constraint, tease her and her (grenade) mate about things and how they were bad for distracting me. They were Norwegian, the language thing meant it was tough going and some of my teasing confused them a bit. A few times they looked bemused, and they gave me quite a few shit tests like ’shouldn’t you go back to your seat?’ but the hotties body language didn’t say this at all. I did what Mr.M said, and even though I wasn’t in a club setting, just used what I had learnt and kept plowing, being un-reactive, disqualifying the hottie (you are so fidgety, we wouldn’t get along, is she always like this?) bringing the grenade in, in fact playing some games (the lying game) with her. Thehottie kept trying to steal my attention and I slowly won her over. Anyway the grade falls asleep and I get into qualification on HB8.5 – wow that is powerful stuff!!

I had attraction as she was asking a lot about me. At one point I was saying I like girls with nice arms and legs, she showed me her legs, and I was touching them. I told her I couldn’t see her arms, so she takes her shirt off for me! (she had little singlet on underneath). She said ‘I can’t believe I am taking my clothes off for you already!’. Qualified her on her music tastes and her academics (and nice ass, she got something out of the locker). Keeping an element of sexual vibe. She was playing with her hair hard out. Anyway move to comfort, we are quite close and I’m kino-ing her, holding her hand in the turbulence. Should have gone for the kiss when we were playing tongue games, but anyway. Facebook/email/number close (she lives in Norway) and we’ve been emailing, thinking about visiting me in London. This was big traction for me! I’ll get some pics on the lounge.

Since then I have had, 4 lays, none would have possible without the BC. I need to go out more but do my best with my job etc. But compare me to before the BC and it’s a BIG change.
