Bravo Bootcamps are COMING
Before I ever worked for Style, I was teaching guys IN FIELD
His precise, to the point, honest feedback are some of the things that distinguish him from most of the other coaches I’ve met. Confidence, Grace, Calibration, Alpha-Guy-befriending, Closing (k-closing and #-closing in matter of mins), how to be a leader of men – are only few of the many things I have learned from him. Being an immigrant from India, when I met him, I was full of limiting beliefs, and almost negative game. Now I am with a great girl, in an amazing relationship, and great social circle. I’ve learned more from one evening with Bravo than I’ve learned from 3-day boot-camps with (name removed other pick up companies)

Originally, I taught my first bootcamp just so I could help guys level up so they could be my wingmen!
Later while working for Neil Strauss, at a NY bootcamp, not only did I coach guys throughout the entire weekend, a hidden camera also captured me getting it on with a girl and writing Stylelife on her ass (video is still around online).
I didn’t know this at the time but apparently it is pretty rare to find a PUA coach who can teach and ALSO perform in field
It was an absolute privilege to be taught by you. I want to thank you for your patience, instruction, positive feedback and particularly the one-on-one assistance you offered. It’s a very rare opportunity to be able to speak to an accomplished pua in person, let alone get live feedback in the field. You are an awesome coach and a great human being. Thanks again for all your help.

I guess I made an impression because shortly thereafter I was invited to move to Hollywood and work for Style full time.
Fast forward to another bootcamp in Hollywood, AFTER coaching guys all night and bringing the heat (which of course is priority #1), this happened-
Even though she was BEGGING me to go home with her, and we did a lot more naughty stuff than just kiss in the club, I had to ditch her (and her friends) because my students come first.
After personally seeing for YEARS how many of the TOP GUYS treat their customers/students, I am in the final phases of designing my first IN FIELD training program, which I believe will blow everyone away.
Now that I run my own company, I can make the bootcamps EXACTLY how I want!
Most companies care more about budget and profit, where I care more about making it as AWESOME as possible!
I also have a rule that anything I do has to be better and different than what is out there.
😀
BUT I want more feedback from you guys before I launch them. So before I start letting you guys know what I will be offering, PLEASE tell me below what you loved or hated the most from any training courses you have already attended.
What your PERFECT bootcamp would cover
No matter how crazy or pricey it is!
(there might be a way to incorporate ideas from them)
I will also be doing a special for you guys, the brothers who have supported me on this site for over the last year.
I will be testing my bootcamp model before I launch it, so anyone who helps will be hooked up!
I will actually be posting some info about the next one within a week. Best way to NOT miss out is to keep checking back, but also sign up for my mailing list on upper right of page. That’s how I’m going to notify everyone..first
Where can I find more information on signing up for bootcamps? I live in Mexico, but am willing to travel. I think learning more about this could be a good thing for me.
Hi,
Do you conduct any bootcamp or workshop in India?
the problem with that is that EVERYONE thinks they are better than they are
I have guys saying they should be coaches and cant even open
same in gun classes, guys saying they are great shots and cant shoot for shit
so whenever I taught a class we always had to start at step 1 to make sure they have a solid base to build on
I would highly suggest not to let anyone under 21 go simply because the 18+ clubs are awful! I understand that there are under 21 year olds who want to improve their game, but compromising the quality of the venue when every student payed top dollar for a lifetime experience isn’t fair.
I’ve heard from people who have been on BCs and their experience was dampened by going to those 18+ clubs.
Maybe you could set up a different BC for under 21 year olds where it focuses on day game and hitting up 18+ clubs later on in the night.
Game On!

I’ve been thinking about it and now I realize that the place where we stay/have the conferences at doesn’t matter. If its only a handful of guys, they could all even fit into a small hotel room. Would we all sleep in the same room or would we all each have our own room?
Maybe you could even ask a friend who has a nice house if you could use it for the bootcamp :D.
I agree with the no crutches thing. I wouldn’t be attending to see what it would be like if I was rich.
I would be attending to get my life together, to learn life/pickup skills and to have an awesome time that I won’t ever forget. I think people who attend your bootcamp should never have to read another book or go to another seminar again on pickup/girls, because they’ll know everything they need to and how to improve.
Oh yes, another important thing… FOOOOOD! We could all go to restaurants to eat, or if you do end up using someones house for it, you could have some nice, delicious cooked food laying around so you could eat while learning!
Bravo, I just wanted to quickly say a few things about your bootcamp if you don’t mind.
Having been part of the chosen 9 bootcamp back in 2008, I can say with absolute certainty that those who go to Bravo’s bootcamp will come back changed people. There is not a day that goes by where I don’t use a skill that I learned from that chosen 9 bootcamp and that is not a joke. Whether it is at a club or a job interview, these skills are real and Bravo knows how to teach it.
I have known Bravo for a long time both proudly as his student and as his friend and I will say this, when he puts his mind to something you can count on two things. One being that it will be absolutely awesome and two, that it will be far more than you are expecting.
I have already heard about some of the things that are planned in this bootcamp and I don’t think any of you are going to be ready for it. It’s that amazing. I hope everyone here gets a chance to be a part of this awesome event.
Good luck,

My suggestions:
– Plenty of Day Game experience in various settings such as a mall and a large grocery store, because so it is easier to incorporate the game into daily life instead of just weekend night life.
– Only about 20% max of the total time spent on learning new material in the classroom. The rest of the time should be spent on in-field experience and constructive criticism of the students’ performance.
– It might be helpful to assess each student’s skill level before the bootcamp to make it more specific and focused. In other words, customize it to the needs of the 6-10 people that are there.
– Helping students’ construct a long-term vision of themselves. In other words, helping them create a realistic long-term plan based on the goals of that particular student.
– Some type of check-up system to monitor everyone’s progress after the bootcamp would be cool. Ex. a few teleconference calls or flashchats
– Atlanta would be a cool place to have a bootcamp since I live there. 🙂
…will add more suggestions if they come to mind.
A good idea would be to send out a form that your students would fill out so you could gauge how much they know. SO if they all know how to open well / know openers, then you dont need to spend a lot of time on that except for the part when they are in the field ( delivery). I guess you should know who your students are before the boot camp.
I’ve taken 4 bootcamps/ workshops.
Here are the highlights from all of them:
-Small (max 6 guys)
-2 instructors
-Super hot women come into the workshop for guys to practice on and give feedback
-Go out into the field and have most of the coaching take place there
-Demos of anything the students want
-Give the minimum amount of theory/ info when the student needs it.
-Only bars and day game (no clubs)
I’ll add more when I think of them.
The rooms were in conjunction with the costs of the program. The last one I attended was a 5 bedroom suite, and you could throw a party in the room, as it was as big as some houses.
I wouldn’t say you would need the top of the line hotel room, but something good enough that made you feel comfortable so when you would bring a girl back(which I will assume it will happen at your bootcamp) it did not seem like you were a high school student or some freshman in college. (not that there is something wrong with that)
We had the discussions and lessons all day in the hotel room, then went out and applied what we learned. I thought it was awesome because the last experience I had was more personalized than generic.
I also like the idea that you are doing it in your hometown, as you know people and places which will make it a lot more personal in the end.
I’m going to this for sure!
Just tell me where to sign! =D
Besides day/night game.
How about helping set up an awesome online profile?
Dhv pix and what not.
Clothes shopping too. =D
I’m coming back a totally changed man.
I couldnt
same as when I use to teach firearms, after more than a handful of people, I need competent and awesome assistants to help
otherwise the quality goes down
Just curious, lets say you have 10 people do the bootcamp. How would YOU be able to listen in on what each of the 10 are doing / saying in field?
If you can do the espionage ear bud to give live feedback would be cool. If that’s asking for too much maybe have a recorder that you hand out to the students and break down each student’s interaction in a class room-style session.
Demoing in the field is just pure gold of course
Keep it up bro!
Hey bravo how do you feel about time shares? I have 1 for a week. It’s got 4 bedrooms . I’m bringing this up because it elimnatess the costs of staying at a nice place for a huge amount of money.
I am reading and taking notes on every single comment you guys are posting
I WILL plan on travelling with the bootcamps, but like I have said before a few issues with that
1. I dont have the new location on lock down
2. Don’t get the hook ups
3. It is REALLY helpful for guys to go to a new place to do a bootcamp, so they are out of their zone, it helps guys feel more comfortable doing and trying new things
4. Will cost more because I have to travel and get a hotel and food etc.
I also have to perfect the bootcamp here before I travel with it
I am REALLY digging how fucking serious you guys are taking this, with little to no time off. Tired of guys who say they are down, but then when they get a little tired drop off..
Most places have a few instructors that help out, for now this will just be me (but guys are getting really close to that assistant instructor role) so while you get the 100% best stuff, 72+ hours may be even too much for me 😉
I have the same question. Are you visiting the UK. :))
Hi Bravo, Here is my idea of a good or perfect boot camp.
I think it should cover more than just game.
-keep the group of students relatively small so that individual focus is possible
Day 1
1.The mindset and way of being of an Alpha Male (power of your mind)(body language)
2.The seduction process broken down into 3 pieces
Open – Middle – End
3.How to smoothly transition into each phase
4.Excersise to take home to strenghten what we learned
Day 2
1.Day Game (9am – 5pm)(malls, streets, ect)
2.Night Game (8pm – 3am) (bars, dance clubs, college parties)
3. Homework to take home to strengthen what we learned on this day.
Day 3
1.Day game and night game review with questions
2.Wings
3.Social circles and how to build and maintain them.
Day 4
Improving your lifestyle as a whole. WEALTH, HEALTH, LOVE LIFE
as far as where we should do this, i think we should do it at places like the Marriott or Hilton that provide rooms to stay and conference rooms to hold our discussions. this will cut costs of other room.
Bring it to the East coast Bravo. We have yet to see ANY PUA hit this side of the country and show us what this is all about. Im really looking forward to your boot camp!!
This is exciting!!! Already saving up money. I have also never been to a bootcamp, so can’t really make suggestions. Won’t be 21 till May, but once that rolls around… I’m gonna be ON TOP of this!
I have to disagree with finding the cheapest hotels for a few reasons.
1. most cheap places will not have a conference room. That means the debrief will have to be cramped into 1 cheap room. Or multiple debreifings. Much easier to pay a little more for alot more convenience.
2. I am not saying get a place super expensive with VIP, or alot of extras. Just decent place that will have a place we can debrief and have classes..
3. The price for decent rooms can also be offset some by group discount possibly, and guys can share a 2 bed room if they prefer.
Not saying we have to stay at the Ritz, but I do not think the cheapest place possibe will be a good idea because of the reasons I listed above.
I have never been to a bootcamp, seminar or anything of that matter but can honestly say that after hanging with Bravo for one night I learnt more then I have ever learnt from any other PU source out there.
That was only 3 hours; I can’t imagine what would be possible in a whole weekend.
So what do I think will make a perfect bootcamp?
– Minimum people of around the same skill level. I like the idea of a basics and advanced group.
– The content should be geared towards real game. That means getting out there and approaching. No online game. Bravo already has a program for that.
– I agree with no crutches. No limo service, bottle service, expensive hotel rooms.
– Maximum time in the field. Basic structure of the camp should be emailed to everyone a week before they arrive so they can study up and be prepared before they get there.
– Day game, night game and everything that comes with it i.e.; opening, winging, body language, DHV’ing, isolation etc etc. This is all we should focus on. Once you have mastered these two skills the rest comes on its own.
– And most importantly forming a brotherhood. I have been on countless footy trips with the boys. And work in the military so go out with the boys all the time. The amount of damage you can cause when you are with a wicked group of guys all out to have a fun time is phenomenal.
Depending on when this is and flight prices at the time I will be trying my hardest to be a part of it. Fuck it’s another excuse for a holiday :D.
I agree with BigPoppa on the rooms. Normally, I don’t have a “cool hotel room” to bring a girl back to, it makes no sense to have a crutch like that be part of the bootcamp.
Another suggestion: take hidden camera videos of the guys as they approach, for them to watch later.
There are some things that are very hard to be aware of in the heat of the moment, but are obvious from a 3rd person POV – and no matter how self-aware you are, normally you can’t see your own body language unless you happen to catch yourself in a mirror.
I think if you’re going to make a bootcamp, it should be a BOOTCAMP. Fuck fancy rooms, bottle service, and VIP. I am there to learn. I would want as few crutches as possible.
The hotel should be as cheap as possible cause the only use that room is going to get from me is sleeping (maybe) and fucking. So why do i wanna pay $200 a night in a room that i will never actually see or care about. Seems dumb to me.
I’d like early mornings and late nights. If I’m paying to learn i want my moneys worth. In field there should be at least 2 coaches to help out the students to point out mistakes, offer constructive criticism, and praise and encouragement when something is done correct.
Then afterwards it would be nice to all sit around and just deberief the night. For everyone to share their awesome stories and expirieices, ask questions and give advice, and just take the moment to bond as a brotherhood.
But when all is said and done, I’d just expedct a weekend that i would never ever forget. that I will drunkenly tell my grand kids about years down the line. One of those trips that lasted forever in the moment, but when its done it went by too quick. That when you look back on it you ask yourself if it was even real or just some awesome amazing dream you had.
Thats the ultimate bootcamp

Here is my recommendation. I would love to see someone have 2 types of bootcamps. Most seem to be 3 days on weekends, obviously great nights for clubbing. What if instead of cramming everything into 3 day, you have a beginner and an advanced course?
Beginner course will start with creating an identity, fashion help, grooming, overall basically helping you form your identity.
This is also where you learn opening, body language, some DVH routines, how to use negs, micro calibration, ect. The goal should have the guys leave confident to approach and able to number or kiss close.
The advanced course should be a different 3 days. This will allow those that are further advanced to not feel like they are starting from scratch. This course should concentrate more on working with a wing or pivot, day game, strip clubs, ect. Ideally this course will be taken by people a little more advanced.
Not sure if that is possible. Just thought it would be cool to have a little more time to digest the basics for the beginners, and more time for advanced game for those guys also. Plus the advanced courses would be great for guys to polish there game,
I think the a motel where you have accesss to a conference room will be ideal. Then you can have class and debrief easy since everyone is in the same building:)
Day Game, Night Game, Text Game, Online Game, Dating Ideas. Diagrams and Models. Some of that Bravo Mackaholic is cookin up 😉
I liked nomoremrniceguy’s idea, that would be awesome to have fancy hotel rooms. Or we could spend the night at your house (lol). How many days did you have in mind for the length of the bootcamp? I’ve never bought any training or went to any bootcamp/seminars so I don’t really know how they work, but one thing I do know, yours will be my first 😉 my ideas are not having a huge amount of people attend so everyone can get advice on their weak parts of pickup. Definitely both day and night game learning with a lot of in field action and learning.
I think having ideally a 3 day BC, one night for standard club game, next day going over day game which you also kill at then go out to a strip club for HG, then 3rd day break down, list of homework, and some more abstract ideas like social circle. also I think most students as far as hotels want a sleep and possible fuck room not necessarily a pimp pad
thanks for the kind words brother
want to hear more about your thoughts on the rooms, because I was thinking the same thing
what would be better, cool hotel rooms (which of course the cost gets wrapped up into the price of the bootcamp) or would just having places to crash (and possibly fuck) all that matter?
I have met a lot of guys in this community, and can honestly say without hesitation that Bravo is a master in his art! He is one of the rare guys out there that ACTUALLY cares about his students and who he works with! He is also one of the rare guys that can talk the talk and walk the walk!
By just being a member on the forum, I have improved in many areas of life, and can always count on the forum to help when I need some advice!
From some of the seminars I have intended, I have found it better for the room costs to be incorporated, and parties/bottle services. This makes the bootcamp fun and interesting, as you can apply all the knowledge you have learned through out the in the field at night. A little day game is always fun as well, ie; I have been to a workshop where I learned something in the day, then shortly after was challenged to use it in the day time.
Are thinking of visiting the uk at all mate?
I think it should be tested in Atlanta. That would be different since MPUAs only tend to show love to the west coast… Where better to bring the heat than hot-lanta? Also, I hear there are already several awesome guys in the A-Team at various stages of their games. At least that’s what I hear…
-NSM
right now by telling me what you would want in the bootcamp
How do I help out?!
