Frankfurt Client 2009:

“I already had a bad bootcamp experience with another company (kinda sounds like Charizma, the rapper); it was a lot of money for me; it was a really big step; what if it’s not worth it?!

But man, am I glad I did it!

If you are like me: somewhere in Europe, questioning: “Should I really sign up for the Euro Tour?!” Just take the leap. Whatever level you’re at, or whatever level you’re aiming for, it will set you up for that and beyond!

So on to the actual weekend…

Carsten, instructor extraordinaire #3, joined us halfway through and just had even more insight and a lot of fun to the talk. …

What happened at night you just have to see it to believe it.
We went out to this really nice A class, open rooftop club. And we just completely took over it! What a reality shattering experience that night was! Our effect was stronger than gravity! I saw women change sits, move around, and even walk all the way from one end of the club just to be close to the bunch of cool motherf*ckers that walked in, praying to be approached. None of us choose to, but by the end of the night it was really just a matter of picking which woman or group you wanted to walk out with.
And how did we do it?
Routines? No. Following a line of steps? No. Just having fun and plain being? Hell yeah!

And watching Troy, Julian and Carsten in action…Uau, they are good!
I got to thank Carsten, he’s the best wing you could have….

In the end we debriefed the night, pinpointed the rights and wrongs, what needs improvement, and after a fantastic night, and one of the best in my life, I went back to the hotel, off to bed, with a smile on my face….

If you are a TDD practitioner you’ll be too busy having a life, to stalk the mall a couple of hours (or 10) a day, approaching girls. But you will still learn the best tools to pick up any girl during the day, should the opportunity arise.
And so for a couple of hours of Saturday afternoon we did random girls, store clerks, and moving girls on the street….

Saturday night was a real learning experience for me. Not just about my surroundings, such as realizing the importance of awareness, being proactive, using your toolset correctly… But also it taught a lot about myself. About my strengths and weaknesses, what I need to work on…the night actually got emotional for me!
One of the greatest things is the support you’ll receive. Troy, Julian and Carsten, won’t sweet talk. They won’t tell you what you want to hear or give you lame compassion. They’ll tell you the truth and what you need to hear. Even if it hurts you. But it really comes from their desire to help you and make you your best self. You’ll really get a sense that you’re rolling with your crew. And you’re all just brothers, good friends.

On Sunday morning we all met and had breakfast together. Once again we discussed the previous night and talked about the future and the road ahead. Troy dropped some final golden nuggets and great insight.

It was an absolutely fantastic weekend. I learned so much! Gained so much awareness! It really set me up to reach a whole new level and build my life the way I want it, properly, and in much less time than it would take me to figure everything out by myself.

In the end we all said our goodbyes and I caught a ride to the airport in the most tightly packed Audi ever. Not just TDD skills, Carsten has some major packing skills as well!”

Stockholm client 2008:

“Just back from the Stockholm bootcamp, which was great fun! and from which I gained a lot.

First I have to say there was a real sense of bonding on the weekend, between all the students and the instructors. We hung out, relaxed, eat out together and as well homed our social skills. It was the right blend of having fun with seriously pushing our ability to connect with people.

I won’t go into too much detail but I was very impressed with the organisation of the weekend, as well as the drive and enthusiasm of all the coaches, they were genually committed to bring the best out of us and share their knowledge and experience.

After meeting up on the friday evening we went over CA theory and role play, and also some interesting dance game, which is not strictly CA but an expertise of the coaches. We had a meal then headed to bars and clubs. WIth no hesitation Julian, Mitch and Carsten were talking to groups, as well as introducing us. …. We then moved on to the dance floor where we had some dance game demos and had a go ourselves, with a bit of nudging from the coaches

During saturday we did some day game with approaches in a bookshop and gallery, with again plenty of demos and feedback after interactions. Then on to the evening for a meal, bars and clubs.

Julian, Mitch and Carsten had noticed I had been picking my moments too much on the friday so they pushed me a lot more on the Saturday, this was exactly what I needed…..

I think it was in the club where I noticed the biggest improvements. I approached a lot more sets and hooked fairly consistantly, Carsten gave me a 5 mins deadline to approach sets … if I failed to meet the time deadline, he would decide my opener for me. I met every deadline, I did not fancy having to open with “sausage” This really warmed me up. My deadlines reduced to 2 mins and then on to Julian, Mitch and Carsten deciding my sets. My final approach was two seated girls, normally I would not want to approach seated people already in conversations, but it went really well due the evening’s build up.

To cut a long and enjoyable story short , Carsten ended up winging me with the two girls who joined us both in my hotel room and we made a great connection with them. This also gave Carsten a chance to give me some quality feedback as we had been together through all the stages of the interaction.

So the w/e went really well, had plenty of opportunity to practice approaches and receive
feedback, and received some great coaching and inner game advice from Julian, Mitch and Carsten.

Would highly recommend!”
