Bootcamp field report:
The bootcamp was probably the most intense, gruesome, exhausting and awesome weekend of my life. It was surreal to see the other bootcamp guys improve so quick over the course of one weekend and I hope I can keep improving myself as well. I feel like so many of the things I thought I knew were wrong and that right now I have the proper foundation now to keep building my skills in the future. In this Field Report I will briefly the write stuff I learned and my thoughts about the bootcamp.
-RedpoleQs knowledge is insane. He can explain things extremely detailed and the reasons behind them. Couldnt have wished for a better instructor during the bootcamp.
-My game structure before was basically no BT spikes or qualification. The only girls that I was closing before the ones that were already attracted to me in the first place as I was not building any attraction whatsoever. Thanks to RedpoleQ's framework I can now analyze the things I did wrong and improve them in the future. This especially showed last weekend when I went out with Smoove and we analyzed after every set. I felt like I was improving between every set, insane!
-My kino game was weak, especially in extremely high energy environments such as Octagon I had trouble keeping girls interested. RedpoleQ showed me how aggresive I can kino in such environments and how open the girls are to kino over there. Also my body posture was off as I was always facing the girl frontally and putting a lot of pressure on her instead of standing sideways.
-Daygame, my weakpoint and one of the reasons why I wanted to take the bootcamp. RedpoleQ showed me how easy it is and how extremely responsive the girls are to being opened during the day. Especially in coffeeshops, just unbelievable how positive the girls responded.
-Alumni group, some of the bootcamp alumni attended the bootcamp and they were super supportive and helpful. Amazing to have met without a doubt the coolest and most helpful guys in Seoul.
-Plowing, I was bouncing way too early out of sets that I could have hooked if I was just a little bit more persistance.
-No alcohol, one of the other main reasons why I wanted to take the bootcamp. I always felt super dependent on alcohol while opening girls during nightgame. This causes me to not remember anything of the conversation and whatever I did wrong or right. Now that I tried going out without alcohol I realize how many girls I probably missed out on because of alcohol. I am way sharper and can notice girls responses way better. Besides that I can easily analyze the set and learn from it. I feel now I can improve like crazy because I am learning from every set, instead of being dependent on tipsy and lucky.
-Its difficult to see how much I improved over the weekend. But when I saw the other guys improve it was mindblowing. One thing I know for sure, in 5 years the difference will be crazy compared to if I never took it. I feel like I have a better direction in life of what I want, what kind of girls I want and now I have the tools to get there. My future self is extremely grateful for me signing up for this weekend. I closed 4 new girls last week and feel like I am just getting started. I am looking forward to sharing my journey together with the amazing group of guys on this forum.
