First off, I’ve got to say I had an amazing weekend in Las Vegas with my wing, Mode. The energy of this amazing weekend was also greatly influenced by none other than Hawaii. Who, not only was a great teacher, but also just a great guy to hang with.
As our instructor, Hawaii broke everything down into smaller bite size pieces so that things were easier to swallow when we started to notice our sticking points. Not to say that Mode and I are gurus, but we’ve both had our fair share of field experience and exposure to literature on the subject of pickup. What really helped open my eyes was when Hawaii helped not only see us see our fail points but also how to remedy them in a snap. It was great working with Hawaii because it made me realize how far I’ve already come and that I actually have a lot of great qualities and natural game that just aren’t normally apparent to me.
The lecture portion gave me a nice stack of notebook pages full of material to use whenever I need something to fall back on. I also learned a lot in regards to body language and how I present myself.
This brings us to the in-field portion. After opening some demo sets, Hawaii let us loose in the field on our own. He definitely helped lower my approach anxiety by putting me on the spot and opening set after set after set. Still…looking back, I didn’t flow enough and open enough sets, but that’s just my personal opinion. According to him both Mode and I controlled things very well. I feel my energy and game have improved tremendously since the boot camp, and I feel like I have a new outlook on improving my game. Thanks Hawaii!
