I took the one with Matador and Hawaii (also with Knack for night clubs). It was a lot of fun and a sequence of eye opening events for me. It cleared some blocks in my head and opened myself to some possibilities [I say some because of a reason, that I'll get into that later 
]
If any of my friends from that boot camp are reading this, How are you doing guys? This is Vish.
Let me start with this. All the great and mind blowing things that you’ve read about Matador, they are all true. He is AMAZING. He is like an ANIMAL (..in a good way). He knows how to talk to the human animal inside the girls body and get her hooked. Watching him open sets and make out with in seconds is unbelievable. It can only be described as ‘Plowing thru’ (…into the girls mind and escalate physically). I felt, Matador truly wants to help men to get better in their life, not just pick up but to become your best self overall. He talks in depth about it in the class room session.
Hawaii is cool. I think I would have gained more from the boot camp had I spent more time with Hawaii, but in the mix of things I just forgot to do that (…my bad). I say this because, Matador is like a ‘Rocket Scientist of Pick up‘ and I am still struggling to learn basic ‘Newtons Laws of motion‘. So there is a huge gap between what I know to be true and what is happening in Matador’s sets. I was amazed to see what could be done, if done RIGHT, in a club. Watching Matador, I see where I want to be, but my problem right now is ‘How to take the initial steps‘. Hawaii made some good suggestions for me to work on.
Knack is great with ‘Comfort building’. He made some great comments that helped me learn new things about myself and what style of approach might be the best for me.
We had a unique combination of students. A Doctor, an Engineer, a student, professional photographer, a Marine, Pro-Poker/Boxing champion, a Musician….. it was great.
All this sounds good and unbelievable. But the bottom line for me is what did I learn from the boot camp?. How soon am I going to get good at this? I am a real AFC and I hate it. I’ve had some luck picking up women during the day, but its no where near where I want to be. Even after taking the boot camp one thing I still can’t get over is Approach Anxiety (AA). This is one of the main reasons why I took a boot camp. And after the boot camp, I still don’t see much change in my Approach Anxiety levels. I understand the theory behind it and all that, but for some reason I am not able to slice and dice it logically to reduce its effect on me.
I am not unhappy about talking the boot camp. Actually I am glad I did it. But I am unhappy about not being able to internalize the concepts into my head and open sets. I know Mystery has this "No man left behind policy" which is great, if possible, I’d like to take another night-club session with Mystery to help me over come my fears in the field. (….please give me one free session Mystery). I can’t say I am unhappy from the boot camp, I am just not as satisfied as I expected to be.
Comming to infield report:
Night 1: I was a bit late to the night club the first night, and by the time I got there Matador & Hawaii already did some demos for the students. I saw students opening sets and kind of got an understanding of how to approach and talk. Later, I saw Matador opening some sets. What really blew my mind was when Matador was giving me instructions while I was in the set. Giving me the exact lines to say to the girl, when she is standing right there. AFC that I am, I could not open many sets that night. Matador noticed that, and just to get me started he brought a girl over and gave me in-set training. I still can’t believe that this girl played along. I skipped A1, A2 and A3 and went right to C1. It was fun. We chatted for a good 25 mins and all this time her friends were talking our pictures. I as so nervous I didn’t do any kino on her. After a few gambits, I realized I as falling into friend-zone, so exited myself with Styles ‘Pleasure meeting you’ routine.
Later I opened a 2-set. I used the ‘dying my hair blond’ routine. It worked well and the girls were laughing and giggling. Though it was going well, I got nervous as I couldn’t believe its working. In the mix of all that, I forgot FTC, Neg and A3… and tried to go into C1 and that’s where it ended.
The same night, we went to a different night club, its more like a dance club with loud music. The first one was more like a out-door club with pool in the middle. Matador gave us like 10 demos with in a span of 1 hour. He was working multiple sets at the same time, making out with one girl and dancing a with a different one a second later…. and so on. It was like as if, they were waiting for their turn with Matador 
. One girl was so blown away…. the guy she was with, I guess her boyfriend, came over and said to one of the students ‘Who is this guy? The girl is going crazy’ (..something like that).
The saddest part, I didn’t open any sets here.
Night 2: Matador again took us to two different clubs. This is when I realized I need to watch how Hawaii opens and does kino, but I forgot. I opened 2.5 sets and none of them went well. (I say 2.5 sets because, one set walked away as I was opening them…) So in short it was a disaster for me. I ran out of things to say after opening a set….may be something like a micro-phone in my ear, like in the VH1-show, might help me open sets better. Thought I am learning from the instructors I am not able to transform that knowledge and put it into play for me.
Keep up the good work guys, you are amazing…..
Hope to hear from Mystery (…fingers crossed),
