Little Drummer Boy

Well here I am at it again, the TOC guys invited me out to help out as an approach coach and so I went along for another bootcamp. The last one I did was more fun for me but I think this one was probably more educational for me. I will tag the participants with MY names for them, unless I already know their community name. Friday Night Game: Friday was the usual, get together for some theory before heading into the field. I arrive after they have started the theory portion, to find a rather large table of student's Redpole, Allusion, Kid 44, and Renaissance AND two women who went by Emma Frost and Antoinette. The Emma Frost and Antoinette where an very unexpected thing for me, but they where both positive, receptive, interesting and intelligent women whom I enjoyed talking with. Introductions from everyone, then onto more theory. Antoinette and Emma Frost both gave some excellent feedback to the guys about their overall appearance and vibe, all of them had decent looks to them and it was obvious that their biggest challenge would be their beliefs, since their look was mostly or completely in order. After the theory we all headed to pure for some Friday night adventures. (note to self, always write these thing ASAP lest I forget) Symmetry was a set opening monster, I was impressed at his willingness to open and be in sets, his cadence was kinda fast but once he slowed it down he kept his sets much better. I feel he did the best in one respect specifically, simple his willingness to try, and every time I walked by him her was in set, well done Symmetry, you will progress fast if you stay at it consistently. ALL the guys started a bit rough especially with respect to pecking (just as I did) and kino was pretty timid for most of the guys for the first half of the night, bu the end they had improved measurably in all respects. I myself was pretty busy keeping the guys in set, leaning back, upping their kino and circulation among them all. I ran obstacle game when I needed to and otherwise stayed mobile. A few things stood out about Friday, the rest has blurred into all the sarging in general for me. By the end of the night "Latin Lover" (a good looking South American guy) had been in pretty much nothing but quality sets all night, he had most of it in the bag from the start. His greatest challenge was his approach angle (coming up behind a woman always feel threatening) and his last minute approach anxiety, which had him standing near but not opening women, killing some of his early sets. After some coaching from me and all the TOC guys he got into the groove and would up bouncing a woman (a HOT woman) to the debriefing, and then back to her house. Props Latin Lover on bringing your game so far so fast, after a slow start. Scuba diver (A Chinese guy from Vancouver) isn't yet, but will be killer, especially with his voice tonality with some practice. He started out concerned about his limited Japanese so I told him that to date I have about 20 or 30 words, and not sentences in J YET, and managed to close 4 J girls with virtually no English, of the 6 I have closed since my bootcamp in May. His main obstacle at first was just belief as with me and most guys. I didn't see very much of him Friday, so I will detail his stuff in the Saturday section to follow. Freedom (a guy from Europe, I forget which country) is someone else who know logically he has ability, but needs to be willing to act on it more. By the end of the Friday he had a woman isolated and making out I think. The subtle hint that suggests he did well...his girl "Let's go"..." I have a boyfriend...is that ok?" Ya he did very well Friday, yet his beliefs have yet to catch up with his ability. The Irishman (got some really positive feedback from Mystique and Antoinette) but like most newbies had to be pushed at first into sets, not liking the pressure of getting started, but he did consistently better as the night progressed. My memorable highlights where when one of the guys opened a set near the bar (can't remember which guy) and and a guy tried to amog him, but I was right there running obstacle before he could get started. it turned out he was a Russian model and promoter or something. While I kept him busy the student quickly and skillfully moved his girl away from us and into isolation, and remained there the rest of the night until we left:-) PROPS!! I went to check how he was doing after finishing with the obstacle, when Kid 44 approached and congratulated me on my obstacle performance. He told me that the guy was a fairly high level PUA!!! He did have that vibe, but taking him down and out of the set was probably my best performance of the weekend:-) We all went to the debriefing, with Latin lover bringing his new girl in tow, and at least two of the others getting at least a number close...or better. I had a better chance to talk to the gals, and made sure to announce to the guys that they should express their sincerest thanks to these two very cool women for being there to give them feedback, and social proof all night long. Saturday day game We met at Starbucks where there was drinks and lots of books, and many move locations. More theory, then onto some coffee shop/ bookstore game. I spent most of my time holding the table and chatting with Ren while Redpole and Allusion puts the guys into sets. Symmetry opens two sets in front of our table so I see him works, cadance still pretty fast but he's pushing his boundaries by opening like a mad man. He opens this HB8 lone wolf across from us and makes himself right at home in a chair beside her. He looked cool calm and collected. A short time after the set opens a guy, probably her boyfriend shows up, but Symmetry stays in set (PROPS aging) The BF has to go get a high stool and sit across from this girl while Symmetry sits comfortably in a low chair BESIDE her. After he eventually leave the ste he says he was REALLY nervous during the set, but it didn't show. (Bravery isn't not being afraid, it's acting in the presence of fear) you did yourself proud Symmetry. Latin Lover and Freedom open a 7/8 2 set nearby and it goes fairly well , but Latin Lover give HIS target to Freedom accidentally because of a language confusion (Spanish is his native language, so we decide he can call his badgirls "diabla" rather than bad girls;-) Kid 44 shows up, so I go for a tour and to see how the students are doing. I see Symmetry upstairs with (can't recall which other student) sarging some American girls from New York, the distance between them and their targets was big enough for a truck, but I couldn't find a way to get them to kino, (shoulda introed myself into set and signaled them from INSIDE the set). Other than that I ran obstacle game for Latin Lover on a 2 set of 7.5/8 girls. The obstacle had VERY limited English so it was a challenge to keep her occupied and away from her better English speaking friend. I was so focusing on obstacle game that I didn't seed anything get a time bridge or number close on, but I tried anyway, with no success. Latin lover accomplished his mission though, and that was my main mission. Back at the table Psycho Teddybear and Freelance show up and join us before we all head to the Pure international party. Redpole invites one of his new girls to meet him and he asks me to occupy her for a few minutes while he does some TOC business (Redpole thank you for bring suck a fine beautiful and sweet girl to chat with me, Redpole, may you burn in hell for finding her BEFORE me) Redpole, Allusion , and Kid 44 leave on other errands and myself, Psycho teddy bear, freelance, and all the students head to the Pure international party. We get there early and the place is low, but Psycho Teddy Bear know one of the sets from before. He introduces me to one and I run it not so successfully, then move on. I am mostly busy making sure the guys are in set and that keep me busy for most of the party. I do manage to run some sets, and get one time bridge and two number closes. All in all I am having an off night, usually international parties are like shooting fish in a barrel, tonight I am off my game, but keep the guys busy and persevere at my own game. We all leave and go to Zerro to for a bite, stay there until 11 then head to the meeting place to decide where to go for night game. We agree on Onziem, and I am happy, because I like Electronic, and it's a much classier place than Pure. I start with Scuba diver, giving him some pointers on how to improve his opening, especially his body language. After a few opens Allusion takes him into some sets and I float around running obstacle and putting guys into sets, and prompting MORE KINO and LEAN BACK on the guys. I try to run a little game myself and ALL NIGHT my game is off, I'm still not sure why, but it persists all night, and so do I. I decide whether I run any good game or not I will keep trying, and try things I never have before. I managed to piss of one or two women. One I tried to pick up after trying to move her twice, the third time, WASN'T the charm, at least not by picking her up. I told another woman she WOULD be beautiful if she didn't smoke, then walked away, the next time I walked by her i got a wave off soon as I looked at her:-? I even approached two women with "I need two girlfriends for tonight", worked....not. What I did see from the students though was encouraging. I saw scuba diver confidently kinoing and pulling women in, AWESOME. Symmetry was ALWAYS in set, and pulled a girl to debriefing. Irishman, went form timid at the start to solidly in repeated sets. Latin lover made some technical errors early, but still did well by the end of the night ALWAYS talking to high quality sets. Freedom was having an off night, and I reminded him that on Thursday he couldn't have done any of what he had done tonight, by the end he had wracked more sets than he realized, but no women told him "let's go" like Friday ....I have been at this 8 months and i STILL haven't had that happen:-? Saturday was about the student's, and though my whole weekend of sarging was probably the worst EVER I am proud of myself for staying positive and not giving up in spite of my own terrible results, I learned I can keep going even on a hell night, and not become negative. The student did really wells, and like always made changes that WILL last their lifetimes IF they continue to practice. Hats off to Freedom for still naming five things he did right even when it was a challenge for him. We went and debriefed at the end, and I said goodbye to everyone, and encourage them to run some solo game soon, better to go solo than not go out at all. It'll improve your game a LOT, and BTW you will be solo when you close her right? I wouldn't be around Sunday, I had plans already;-), and they where relaxing and fun. LDB

I confirmed that it's closing tonight it's last night is New years eve. ldb

That's a good field report beach boy, the amount you remember is impressive. Set 10 that really wasted Thai lady, threw herself at me too, but I was afraid I would wind up holding her hair while she puked, not my idea of a good time, besides she wasn't very attractive, though she did have a nice body. At the end of the night I saw her again ON MY TRAIN home, still conscious and having the right parts I decide to try to bounce her to my place. Didn't work as she had to meet her sister for something in Kobe at 9 am, not great loss , but hey she was there,so I thought I'd practice. Just curious, your old gf, is she one of the "Shanghai Dolls"? The more detailed your fr's are the better and faster you can learn from what you do well, and what you have to better. You are so right about Sazae, it's my favorite club, and I just read something that says it is closing soon:-? ldb

Good to see your FR here Rockstar2, guess I did a decent guess on you pua name too. You have some good frames in this fr. ldb

You're very welcome Psycho Teddybear, Until you do something for yourself you can't have any idea how much fun it is, being an approach coach was a hell of a lot of fun. It's the one thing I experience with drumming, people love to listen and watch someone drum, but they have no idea what they are missing, or how fun it is to be the person drumming, which is why my drums have seen/ been shared by dozens, if not hundreds of people in the fourish years I have been doing it. ldb

Wow, what a lot of fun!!! There I was just minding my own business, stopping by to talk to Redpole Q for a few minute before the bootcamp, and then head on my way. But NO, that isn't exactly what happened. I get there and Allusion and Kid 44 are there too, not unexpected, but the guy whom i thought was one of the bootcamp participants turns out to be a writer interviewing the guys for a story. So they invite me to put in a few words as former bootcamp participant. It was pretty cool to talk, and reminisce about my first PUA experiences, and all the things I had never done before. About a half hour or so later the attendees start to show up. The first guy was a big tall guy with a Teddybear vibe that Kid44 said reminded him of a great PUA he knows. For the purposes of this field report I am going to give them all names without their approval, that may or may not have any connection with their PUA names that to my knowledge don't yet exist. So i will call the first guy Teddybear. He was a young student with an impressive amount of Japanese at his disposal, and reminded me the most of myself in my bootcamp in May. His size could be used for dominant kino and his baby face would totaly make the girls feel safe with him. The other two guys were tall and slim, one being a musician in multiple bands I will call him Rockstar(aka rocKstar2), for obvious reasons, and the other guy I will call him Volley Ball Star(vbs aka Beach Boy). Both of these guys were spoiled since their looks did most of the work for them, hence the star in their names. they looked the part. So it started with the guys covering some theory, which I welcomed as a good interactive review. After some theory and having the guys open some sets in the coffee shop it was time to head out for some night game. I was basically prepared to head out, after all these guys were here to learn and Allusion and Redpole Q where there to teach. So as everyone prepared to go Allusion and Redpole Q invite me along to approach coach these guys. Cool, I was planning to game tonight anyway and this was a new and interesting flip on it for me. I spent most of the night with Redpole Q and Teddybear, winging for him while Redpole Q coached him, and timed my entrance to the set to best benefit Teddybear. The first set was a four set of 6/7's and shortly after he opened I went in to wing and it was fun! I had these girls eating out of the palm of my hand:-) I'd have to say this bootcamp was by far the best and MOST obstacle game I have run in a night. Teddy bear was pretty damn timid at first, just like I was, and his first sets where blowing out fairly fast because he kept dropping his kino. He was opening and hooking them though, and he made progress with almost every set. I saw myself in him when Redpole Q sent him into a set and he didn't go, and started to ask us things we both just said ok yelled, JUST GO, and he did. There was a 7/8 2 set that he started, I went in and occupied the obstacle and he gamed (guess which), so he kept her engaged for about 20 minutes and the set stalled, or as most often happened at first, it started to stall and he dropped the set, oh the memories;-) Teddybear wanders away and Redpole Q comes over to me and has me switch to his first target who was pretty warm by this time, she was Chinese and we connected on me having spent some time in china. I switch to the 8 with no complains and hook her fast, I spent most of the time talking fitness with her and she was into it. I have been getting a lot of reverse kino from fitness talk as fitness is a BIG qualification for me. I go "make a muscle to her gesturing, she kino's my are and like it, but the point was for me to kino her bicep, then tricep, then torso, it was nice she was a solid tennis girl. The set slows down so Redpole has Teddy Bear and I take them around the venue to meet people, it was kinda clumsy, but we did manage to move them and get them sitting down with us. By this time I am drumming on the obstacles lap having a good old time and for some reason or other the set ended, new obstacles beside us, or Redpole Q just decided it was time to eject and open another set. At this point Teddy bear had opened, hooked, switched targets and moved a set!!! I didn't really get much for time bridges or number closes on many girls, but hey I was concentrating on wing game and mine definitely went up big time as an approach coach and wingman for a whole weekend. It was great practice and left the outcome completely a non issue , though some of the obstacles, and a lot of his target were well worth gaming. The set eventually stalled, but now the sets where lasting longer and longer. Teddybear's main challenge was keeping the kino, and staying in set when he felt it was stalling. Deja vu for me. As the night went on he kept getting a little better each time, slowing down his movements, speech, kinoing more and getting longer and better sets. I wander off to see how Rockstar and Volleyball are doing while Redpole Q debriefs Teddy bear on a set. They are in set, as usual with 8's or more all the time, with their target looking mesmerized. They were doing some pecking and some fast movements but for the most part they were rolling along really well (damn those tall good looking guys). I come back to check on Teddybear and Redpole Q and he's in a mixed two set 2 guys and one 7 he was either holding her hand or doing some pretty strong kino now! the guys where pretty much amoged, and then he stops the set for a few seconds, step back still facing, and the two guys step back and benefit from Teddybears hard work! The set was his no wing just him taking one girl from two guys he basically hesitated and that lost him the set, but he learned from it, he learned how to keep a set next time. Now that his kino and pecking where dealt with Redpole took Teddy bear to a mirror wall, stood beside him and asked him "why are you moving for other people???!!" Teddy bear being TWICE Redpole Q's size he got the point. I will mention a solo set I had because of the irony that finished my night game on the train. We all went for a debriefing the guys all did really well coming up with what the did well and what they will do better next time. Their main issues where stacking forward, kino and calibrating their energy level. Note to self write the fr asap after the field time ( lots more happened...) I go to the train station and take a seat in the first car feeling bagged from a long night as an approach coach (but damn it was fun at the same time ) I usually end my night game by sarging on the train, I almost said fuck it, but no why not I though. I walk MOST of the entire length of the train when i see a woman who opened me at the club, 6 face, 7.5 body she was pretty much a fools mate, but I wasn't that keen, and really drunk. I ran into her several time on the way to the bathroom each time she complained about the long line and hadn't made the full task yet, since I was luke warm about her I told her I we could exchange contact info she finally went to the washroom. Honestly i though she might turn out to be a hold her hair while she puked type I didn't see her the rest of the night. And then there she was on the train conscious on my train and not sick, hm. Ok I thought this should be easy... after trying to get her to stop at my station for 10 minutes it was a no go since she had to be at her sisters in Kobe for 9 am I told her this was her last chance and how luck she was that she happened to be on my train, and that this was her last chance to spend time with me. No go I give her my phone number and do a countdown as the train pulls into my station. I think I should have written the contact info on the paper and slowly handed it to her only to take it away again and say "come with me" OR picked her up and carried her off the train. Since the next train wasn't for another hour after she got over her mad...she may as well have somewhere warm to go...until the next train (I would live feedback on this, I have never been able to get any compliance out of a this is your last chance frame and don't know if anyone uses it. I have carried girls before but this would have been off the train and I can't help but wonder whether i could have gotten away with it. Ok day2 Saturday day game Again I really didn't have plans to be involved but the guys invited me to come hang out and wing for some day game if i wanted, cool, I was up for it! We meet at 3 and it starts with a very good theory talk about comfort ( I hope you new guys know how lucky you are the bootcamp is TWICE AS LONG as when I took it) so the new guys are getting much more time for both theory and practice. Everyone by the end of this bootcamp was WAY ahead of where I was after one day game and one night game session. So, during the comfort theory talk Kid 44 really brought out and clarified for me some details I had either forgotten or at the very least wasn't as clear to me as I thought. I decided to listen intently as opposed to take notes, and jotted a few points most relevant to my current position as a PUA. I have been getting @ closes with very good regularity, and a decent amount of day 2's , but that then turn into days three's ... I get good attraction qualification and comfort, but get stuck there. Kid 44's words crystalized and identified for me exactly what I needed to do to advance my sarges to the next level with consistency. Ummmmmm seeding the time bridge and bounce, not just once but multiple times, and stack forward IMMEDIATELY. Followed by bounce attempts, then stack forward immediately until it hooks. I should know this but like so many things we all have our sticking points, and this WAS mine, now that I have identified it I will fix it to advance to the inevitable outcome we all strive for;-) Between better seeding of time bridges and bounces I will also be seriously tightening up my logistics to a kick ass level:-) The comfort talk was very beneficial to me personally. After the talk it was onto more day game, I winged on a few sets, but it was mostly the guys going together or solo, and with better results after their increased field experience. The main day game set I remember was with Rockstar, Redpole Q was getting us to bounce and both Rockstar and I weren't very congruent about the success of the bounce, we did it anyway. We where bouncing to shopping him for shoes and me for a hat. It didn't go but it was practice and extending our boundaries. After a few more sets, we took a break for supper. Teddy bear offered to buy me supper for the chance to talk about identity development (not my best area, but I too am working on it and we came up with some good stuff to get him started toward his identity goals). I also gave him some tips and tricks for slowing his movement and speaking cadence. He was a highly ranked national swimmer so we talked about visualizing his swimming cadence to slow his other cadences. I also showed him a one breath relaxation exercise I developed years ago when I was very into meditation. We chatted about body language and we watched the body language of other people, then I had him guess at their status based on what he saw. On the way back I demoed dominance by walking through a group of guys as they moved out of my way. Then we wandered around Umeda for a while talking some such pick up related topic. Near the end he asks me if I REALLY thought he was making progress, so I had him give me 10 things he could do now, that he couldn't last week, and had him stand in front of a window and told him to repeat the same question he asked me to "that guy looking back at him". It worked great, and HE answered his own question knowing the truth of the answer. We meet up with everyone for night game. Saturday night game was FULL of amazing stuff from these guys. Again i was mostly working with Teddybear and virtually always saw Rockstar and VBS (hey it's long so...) in set and hotties cooing over them. So again i will focus on what I saw, and in terms of progress made Teddy bear was the superstar of Saturday night game. The first set I saw him hook was a 7/8 lone wolf that well, (I wanted) he was doing really well she was all keen and he didn't see it. he starts to eject from the set and Allusion pushes him back in. In seconds he's moving her to isolation! It was awesome to see, she was still really keen giving crazy IOI's ( I supposed she could have humped his leg to make it more clear) Teddybear ran the set for about 10 more minute and it ended (not sure why). This time I did a lot less winging because he was handling full sets a LOT better, I only went in at Redpole's cue or when I spotted trouble. So now he's running set by himself getting a ton of experience and many sets. His kino was better, his tempo was better his body language way WAY WAY better. When he was in small sets and there seemed no need for a wing I did some of my own recon and opened a few sets. On of my faves was a sexy little 8 in a 2 set and her 8 I really should have engaged the obstacle better friend:-( I opened her with an offer to trade my bracelet for her hat, she didn't understand, but it opened and I hook it anyway. Some attraction, then the fitness qualification ( I so love this one I get to kino almost any part of her body and she's ok with it, AND I know what her body will feel like later:-) So I am feeling this babes torso, and I see the obstacle (whom I did not open, I know always open the obstacle) coming back into the set after wandering around nearby. I try to fitness qualify her and do torso kino which blew out the set. It was a textbook error and a textbook result. I go back through the club and find Allusion now working with Teddybear next thing I know he's amoging two guys out of a set using beautiful dominant kino with a big strong shoulder pat to both of them and the kino moved their whole bodies. It damn near brought tear to my eyes to see this kind of kino from a guy who previously made kinoing a woman look like her body burned his hand. I say to Allusion that it made me feel like a proud father to see it though i just arrived in time to see it happen. I told Allusion how now i understand what Redpole Q meant when he said it gives him almost as much joy to hear about our successes as to experience his own. Years ago I had an experience that made it clear that teaching (in the right contexts is one of my destined vocations) when a student actually cares to learn anything and you see the light go on it is a immensely satisfying affirmation to a teacher. I just never expected to be an approach coach, and now i understand just how much fun these guys have teaching this stuff. Allusion had assigned Teddy bear the mission of doing crazy stuff for Saturday night game, much of which i missed (in hind sight I think I would have had more fun watching what I heard about than the little bit of sarging and recon I was doing when it happened) I saw Teddybear do great dominant kino through the rest of the night. While I was gone... I missed him get a drink poured on his shoe!!! He went in to open, she didn't say a work and poured a drink on his shoe, he like a champ laughed and said something like that's so cute and walked away. I also missed him getting elbowed in the crotch!! , and again handle it like a pro, finally i missed him going around doing fake karate chops to womens heads to open them. The worst i have ever had is a woman grab my shoulders from behind and push me away. Clearly I need to push the envelope much further:-) Allusion put himself in a very playful state and grabs the 8/9 hostess cavemans her the give her to me I do my jewelry thing on her and an obstacle comes in then Allusion sends her to Teddybear while I run obstacle game on the guy. She paws him, then tells the obstacle she doesn't want him touching her and the obstacle tells me LOL! Nearing the end of the night Redpole sends Teddybear into a a FINE 2 set then sends me in to obstacle(NOW this is the obstacle game I like) she is soo keen I lot of time goes by and I don't even notice, the the guys say "are you done" I get the number close but have technical problems with the phone, then technical problems with my state and brain after repeated attempts to get the ir to work properly I. It was an educational end to the sarge though a stressful one. We are leaving and everyone had a great time. Teddy bear looks like he's on something he's so pumped by the night he had. We go and do a debriefing. Then Teddybear Redpole Q and I go to Redpole's place so I can wait for the trains to start. Yes, hard to believe but we talked game and i got some great pointers from both Allusion about some aspects of my game and how to refine them. To teach is to learn. 教えることは　教わること。 Japanese Proverb. I learned a lot, and Teddybear, Rockstar, and VBS learned more than I did. ldb

I arrived at the coffee shop to find Kid 44 he gave me some very sound advice about some polishing my image. After that he told me how to improve my game especially that now that I can open sets. He told me I have to start MERGING sets, introducing set to each other, his advice was excellent yet a lot to absorb. After a lot of information, he pushes me to open sets. I am still waffling about how and which set to open when Redpole Q shows up. After some pushing from them I open a set with an opener Redpole Q gave me. I am able to get some rapport going, and the guys are saying "kino more". The first set goe by with out too much for results, but my memory of it is probably overwhelmed by the sucess of the next two. Allusion shows up and after some more coaching I open a lone wolf, very attractive. I open her good and after a short time , I find out that she's an English student...bingo, I have a good topic to follow, she's a English student and I just happen to be a passionate English teacher! Well I get some beautiful compliance from herusing her fork as a Katana while quoting Miyamoto Musashi. I tell he how Musashi talked about achieving excellence through USE not idle study. Things wre going good and Redpole signals me to kino more, then take her hand. I do it with all the grace Shrek clumsy and too mechanical, but it still worked. Redpole Q signaled me again to turn her hand over so it was more comfortable for her. after somethng like slapstick comedy the position was comfortable for both parties (Redpole Q almost fell off his seat he was laughing so hard). So now they say "bounce her" I did it got up with congruence and she followed! I was impressed, tha t wasn't so hard I just had to convince her I meant it and was confident in what I said. So here I am now, alone with a 8 or higher in a place where I have a chance to see where I can take this. Redpole phoned me as we left and gave me some pointers, while congratulating me on what state I put her into, he was convinced it was the beginning of the close. Alas I went for the makeout, no dice I wasn't congruent enough, I was kinda in didbelief that I had gotten this far this fast with this HOT woman, and at that time...my state worked against me. We return later to the coffee shop where the guys were, Allusion gets a pic of us before she has to go. I got the number close but not the time bridge, I still have contact information and will have to continue Sarging this hotter than used to give me the time of day woman later this week. After a debriefing, the verbal equivalent to high fives all around and some improvements to be used on the next Sarge, I was back at it. Opened a two set who sat down beside us, 6's but the practice was good and confidence building. I engaged the obstacle for a while and once I could see she was into me I moved to the bad girl. The bad girl was very keen by this time and again we had a good subject they were early childhood education students and young kids are my best teaching genre. All around a good sarge, tried for the bounce but they had to leave. Redpole Q asked me if I wanted the time bridge and number close, they were nice, but I declined it and just let them go. After more helpful information and this time a lot more things done right ...another lone wolf arrives. It must be my lucky day. I open well, and find she is a English student (her English was much better than the earlier hottie). This Sarge went really well ...this time I was beating Redpole Q. to the punch:-) Kino escalation was much better this time, though my movements were still too fast and large. This girl was a seven and it took only a short time before I was right beside her with my hand comfortably on her leg (it stayed there most of the Sarge) I keep hearing about how "Japanese don't like to be touched", I am starting to think from my limited but growing experience that this is dependant on HOW they are touched rather than IF they are touched. Number closed and time bridged this one for this Sunday...my station , day two smells like a close. Every time i spend some time with these guys my game leaps ahead, they don't let me revert to old ineffective behaviors and alwys push me forward and upward in my game. it's ALWAYS an education, and I ALWAYS leave their presence in a better state and with better abilities than when I arrived:-) Thanks Osaka Crew ldb

Field report: I'll start with the bad stuff....this was really hard at times they had to really push me to keep plowing, say something, open a set… quite a bit at the second location. The hardest part was starting, most of the doing was easy, though I had fairly frequent gaps in my sarge and made some horrendous mistakes in body language and other things it did improve continuously. Especial considering how challenging I found some parts, and my mistakes...I still managed to spend the lions share of the night caressing, flirting, charming and in some cases thrilling enough 7+ women that I don't remember them all. P.S. I had TWO drinks all night. I ask you when was the last time YOU can say you did that? 5/6 two set on the stairs waiting for the party to open, the I went straight to qualification after opening and she helped me with the cell coupon, then followed me around for a while, it worked good on her;-) 7/7 2 set Miles opened the table and then us, we joined them and they were nice and receptive some seats at the table opened as they went to mix,... That's when I saw THEM a 9/9 2 set what I later found to be the clear top set in the whole place. I opened simply by inviting them to the table they happily joined me. I sarged the one sitting beside me for a while, then Tokyo Impulse returned and I GAVE him the one next to me as I target swapped for the other one giving me good signals. We held this sarge with the finest women there for about an hour and a half while many jealous onlookers saw the action, some tried to blow us out but our sensei was there to run interference. I had a lot of keno with this 21 year old hottie who KNEW I was 40 and didn't care as I petted her, and she cooed. She brought out her smokes (which I forgot about) and I didn't pull, but instead she picked up on my changed vibe. We took each other to the bar to get new drinks and my keno or vibe changed, the sarge stalled there and they left the table shortly after we got back to it. No problem:-) we where the center of envy and admiration for 90 minutes while we had the undivided attention of the 2 hottest women there. Miles said "open more sets your value is high right now", that we did. Opened a 6 at the bar easy and probably a close if I wanted it, friendly kino, but no I am busy opening 7+ sets. Coming down to the bathroom I missed the one step drop, and almost fell, turned it into a situation open, and solo engaged this 7/7 2 set for about 1/2 hour one was definitely into me. Left to open more sets, met two or three other sets good but nothing too memorable. Returned to the 7/7 2 set who greeted me warmly, same one kept kinopinging me. The party was almost over so Miles pushed me for the number close on this set and another. I number closed the friendly one...no specific time though, but she will be happy to hear from me. She commented on how sweet I was and she said " I bet you get a lot of phone numbers" while she enthusiastically entered hers in my phone. Off to another location...after a debriefing from the crew "LDB you need to... and you did...well" Arrived to a madhouse this was a much more intense and harder setting but the guys pushed me into a set of 3 (or more) 8's it was a pretty short lived sarge and I thought it was a failure. (more later) Sarged for some drinks ok but not very HQG's. Opened a mixed set at a table...warm welcome from all, one was keen so Redpole Q sent to Sarge her a 5 but very receptive and good practice. Stayed about 10 minutes and ejected with a friendly farewell. Got blown out a few times, mostly 1 sets and/or sets of 6's or lower, funny that the LQG's where more work, yet they were just for practice LOL. Now at the pool table, I tried a few sarges, short but decent. Opened this sexy 7 from Okinawa, sarged her for about 1/2 hour, got fairly far with the sarge...I was amazed how comfortable she was with me kinoing her, pulled away a bit Redpole Q "pull her back" did and she went along with it! Guess she didn't mind it too much;-) It eventually blew out but was the furthest sarge yet! Tried to blow out three guys in a mixed 6 set of 7's,, my body language was terrible! Regardless I had (their girlfriends paying more attention to me than them for a few minutes) even though it was a terrible blowout on my part. The crew gave me some good feedback about why that happened and then pushed me back into a mixed 5 or 6 set with all those 8's in it. Remember how I THOUGHT I had failed it? Well they welcomed me back remembered me better than I remembered THEM. Sarged one of them for a long time, progressed a long ways, first phase shift! I was doing a "we're getting married routine" and it was working well, we decided when, where the honeymoon was and where we'd marry;-) Her 8 friend was into the wedding routine too, and I had her in one arm and the target in the other (the friend's body pressed comfortably against my leg. She gave me her blessing and asked to be invited to the wedding! At one point I time bridged her for sightseeing a temple in Kyoto, shortly after it blew out. Again not too bad for a guy who thought I had messed up that sarge walking in the door. They pushed me into a few more sets most were quick blowouts AGAIN mostly with one sets or ugly sets. Time to leave....Tokyo Impulse was gone most of this trip since he bounced then closed hours ago! Not sure what her face looked like (she was facing him and just him) but DAMN what I saw was a fine 8 at least, good for you Tokyo Impulse. We left and the debriefed me. The asked me what three perceptions had changed over the night...here are my revised answers after I wrote my original field report on the way home. A) One sets tend to be HARDER sarges that 2+ set (no friends to keeps them comfortable) B) Sets of women 6 and lower are HARDER to sarge (They are not used to guys wanting to talk to them except for...unlike hotties who are always getting guys talking to them) C) Flip side of above...hot women where MORE receptive as a rule and where completely comfortable with me touching them, putting my arm around their waist, pulling them close most times they really enjoyed, worst case they were indifferent. Finished the night...how? Walked into Umeda, got lost , and asked an 8 with those oh so sexy stockings to help me...she walked me right to my train! Sarged her a bit didn't progress fast enough (5 ish minutes) to make the number close. Got on the train opened a 5/5 two set it blew out in about two minutes (they got off the train!) Again LQG's can be hard, but you never feel too crushed when 5's walk away;-) Add on: I took the bootcamp last Saturday, now on Monday I find myself using what I learn there in teaching English. My degree is in psychology and I have studied many of the techniques and principles they use. But my skill with using them went up enough in one bootcamp that I was able to use it to build rapport with students who I previously had a problem connecting with. By the end of my last class they where laughing and having a great time, guys if you take this camp....it will effect the BIG PICTURE too ie. your ENTIRE social life not just your sex life. These guys teach you something you can use in ALL social settings to build rapport with ANYONE, not just for Sargeing. These are very sound and well established scientifically proven principles that I have know for many years, lacked the skill of USING them, no more:-) Little Drummer Boy
