There are already so many good field reports and great notes from bootcamps so instead of going in detail through the weekend, I am just going to focus on reviewing the quality of the bootcamp so you can make up your mind if this is for you. My instructor was Brad, he was his with his Intern Matt~. There was one other student who was a complete newbie. Myself I am kind of intermediate, sometimes I have some good nights and often I suck badly as well.

To get straight to the point: BOOTCAMP WAS PURELY AWESOME, in terms of learning gameTHE BEST THING I EVER DID!!

Why? In so many ways my view on game, on myself and on this whole journey has changed.


Before Bootcamp I had an idea of what I was doing right and a had a lot of stuff which I didn't feel comfortable doing in field. Also I just didn't know how to go about my nights, most of the time I felt a lot like in some roulette game where I wasn't in control but just hoping to hit state...

Now after Bootcamp my understanding of game is sooooooo much more concise. I understand what I have to do and where I was fucking things up before. My perception in field is sharpened, I understand things now I didn't even see before.


Before Bootcamp I thought I knew and understood all the theory, I thought I heard it all before.
Partly I just wanted to see the stuff in field to really believe it.

First, I was wrong about the theory. I mean I LOVE the blueprint, but still lots of my understanding was more vague than I thought. It is all so much clearer now. The intensitiy of a 2 on 2 Seminar where you can ask any question right away and discuss any issue that comes up is priceless!  Brad went deep into theory and tied it to so many great examples and to stuff that happened directly in field at the bootcamp.
Second, the infield stuff was awesome! The demos Brad did were amazing, he totally knows his stuff. I could point him to any girl/set I want and he would go in there and win that set, no matter how bitchy/difficult the situation. I picked some nice ones for him but he just ploughed through there, damn it hehe. He didn't dissappoint me once. This accounts for the whole bootcamp experience btw.


Before Bootcamp I had doubts if I can really do this, if I can really get good at this.
I believed it logically, but deep down? Doubts.

And now? No doubt, not one tiny little shred! I can do this, I am 100% certain that success is inevitable. Brad gave me everything I need to know, all my current sticking points are laid out, I have a concrete roadmap on how to work on this stuff and enough reference experiences and trust in myself that I can do this.
What was huge also was that I saw Brad and Matt~ and they were normal. Not some Pooooh Aaaaahs. Completely normal cool chill dudes. But no different from you and me. Except for that they are way more experienced and with more balls. Stepping up and getting the girls. Seing that there wasn't that difference between you and them was huge for me. Again, for me it was crucial to really have experienced this. Reading about this stuff is NOT what changes you. If we could cheat our brain that easily then we all would attain the right beliefsets just from scanning the forum and we all could become pimps straight away...


I also was amazed how Brad tought the other student. The progress he made during the program blew my mind. There was so much other stuff, impressive stuff which I leave out now. To make this short: Brad got his shit down.
Imagine you want to learn an instrument and you learn it from a book, you dabble around and try to learn it yourself... you will get there eventually, especially with a guidance like this forum right here.
But then imagine a cool guy comes up and he calmly showes you all the specifics, gives you feedback, corrects your hand, tells you to change this and this mistake, gives you this twist and that tip. He tells you about how he started off. He gives you a roadmap on what to work on to get as good as him. You then have a very clear view on what to do and the confidence that you are doing things the right way and you just have to keep going... This is exactly how I feel now.


It wasn't a magic pill. I am not "transformed". The transformation is in progress and this weekend was a huge stepping stone. I feel empowered, equipped, I got spoonfed everything I need to know and now it's on me to continually apply what I learned and to follow the path in the direction they showed me.


To finish off, here is just some stuff I realized on bootcamp - not complete - just from the top of my head...

- I don't need state. I need to get my ass moving. You can pull even when you are not in state.

- Fuck what you say. Be comfortable. Vomit. I don't need to say clever shit. I am enough.

- Logistics and social dynamics.

- Assume attraction. Go in with ballz. After makeout, assume the pull. Just chill back, let her invest time in you. Befriend friends and check logistics. Pull the trigger.

- Fuck Poooaaa wonderland. Welcome to reality. Bye bye to all the misconceptions of game that you subconsciously build up over the years reading PU (even rsd) stuff.

- Comfort zone stuff. Attitudes and mindsets.

All this stuff you can read about. So what then? I have read enough. It was the bootcamp experience that drilled this stuff into my head, so that it "clicked".


To make it clear, I can't give Brad and Matt~ enough credit here. They were focused and dedicated 100% to make this an awesome program and it was. I got so much value out of it and I can truly recommend this to everyone.

(And just so that you know, I am a broke-ass university student and it wasn't easy to get this much money. But I tell you, it was the best money I ever spend)

If you consider taking a bootcamp with Brad -  DO IT thumbs up

You won't be dissappointed.

10 out of 10 customer satisfaction speaking right here :)

I'm hanging out with Brad right now.  I feel, somehow, cooler.  It may be because he made me listen to Holosync.

 Hey there, man.

I've just made up my mind that I am taking a BC with Jeffy this summer. And, strangely, I do not expect it to be some life-changing experience that will melt my old chodey bitch ego just like that... not anymore.

You see, when I first read a report of an RSD bootcamp - posted by one of Alexander's students on a Japan-focused lair - that's when I decided I'd ignore what had been written by Neil on Mr. TD and check his stuff out. That's when I got the all-mighty Blueprint and many other programs. That's when I started imagining these PU instructors with superhero-like skillz (!?).

At first, I had a great time reading The Game and laughing at the idea of having 3000 memorized lines like a spellcaster or sumthin'. Then I toyed a little bit with what once was "push-pull" and "cocky funny". Things got interesting and I recollected all of those impossibly hot chicks I wouldn't even dream of having in my bed. Why not? That idea was surely outside my reality, but I had to try and force it back in there, even though I've never really convinced myself to play the "PU lines" game. That's where that BC report got caught in my radar.

I messaged Alexander on facebook, and he sent me straight to realsocialdynamics.com, where I found lots of great material that FINALLY got me out the door and running actual game. So my tale was: read The Game, toy with push-pull in daily social interactions, search the web for stuff, get a lot of crappy material, find that Japan Lair, read Alexander's student BC report and here I am.

Actually, I read The Game throughout October-November 2009, but didn't get to actually going out until late December. I first watched Ozzie's "CLOSE!" Transformations a couple of days before Christmas, and had a damn fun night!

Now, for the whole "these guys must be facken' superheros!" idea, I'm sure that came from a combination of my own experiences with the stories and tales that have been read by me, both in RSD products and on this forum. I knew now that some ridiculous stunts could be pulled, for I had personally executed a couple myself, and still these writeups were awesome. They were at that point right at the border of one's own reality, where one knows its all achievable and that they aren't just cool stories (of sex and debauchery), but those stories still seem SOOOO far away from one's own reality... hence, "they MUST be facken' superheros!"

Simply put, I wanna take a BC to put that border under my own feet, to see there's no such thing as superheros, to game effortlessly.

Well, this has turned into quite a big text after all. I'm also a broke student, but the money means little to nothing when it comes to actually grasping that 100% certainty that success is inevitable. Doubts? Not after BC.

Sure, I love the technicalities and small talk - and even some pickup lines - but don't all those things just autocorrect when it's alright underneath it all?
