Drills 2.0 Bootcamp Review – New York City, January 2008

[Steve]

It’s been one week since I attended the Drills 2.0 bootcamp in New York City. I waited a full week to write this review because I wanted to try and be as unbiased as possible and to try and get some perspective on how it has affected me. Overall, it was an awesome experience and lived up to my high expectation. It took me from literally zero game (not being able to open sets) to being able to consistently open sets without approach anxiety, having good conversations and starting to escalate. I feel very confident that I now have all the tools to get amazing results with women. The drills format of the bootcamp ingrained the habits, almost like reflexes, but like anything you have to practice to get good. I’ve gone out the past three nights to practice and my game and it’s still getting better each night. I’m sure the bootcamp saved me years of trial, error and frustration.

There were two major factors that helped me choose the DiCarlo bootcamp over all others. The fact that it’s natural game and the fact that most of the class time is spent actually DOING the drills, not just passively listening to lectures. This is very different from other bootcamps that I considered. Getting immediate feedback from the instructors during the drills in class and in the field (both day and night game) was immensely valuable for quickly fixing my problems and my rapid progress.

The ratio of students to instructors is excellent and I felt I good a lot of personal attention. There were 4 instructors and 10 students in the bootcamp. The instructors are very accessible and were constantly giving feedback. I can’t say enough about how good the instructors are and how they genuinely care about each student’s success. They all had slightly different styles with women which I also found interesting. I learned a lot just by observing them, their attitude, and how they interact with women. It really opened my eyes and it sort of rubs off on you in some ways.

The three days were very intense, especially the first day. The drills really challenged me and the other students and pushed us outside of our comfort zones. One student confided that he was literally on the verge of tears after the first day and wanted to quit. So be prepared. The fact that you are pushed so hard during the three days is a testament to the fact that this is the type of bootcamp that can literally change your life. This is exactly what I was looking for. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

Nothing is perfect, and one disappointment for me was the drills book that each student receives. It was re-written for the Drills 2.0 bootcamp and I found it significantly lacking in details and almost useless. I tried to take as many notes as possible during the classes but I missed some material, so I’m left feeling that I don’t have a good reference that I can use for practice or refer to in the future. I emailed Vin about this issue and I'd like to see it addressed.

All of the students made progress during the bootcamp but there were two major successes. On the first night one guy met a woman in the club and took her back to his place for sex, which he’d never been able to do in the past. Another student that had been dealing with significant approach anxiety got a number close in a bookstore after the same woman had shot down an instructor from a competitor that happened to be doing one-on-one coaching in the bookstore at the same time.

If you are considering taking a bootcamp, I highly recommend the DiCarlo DiClassified Drills. It is excellent value for your money and will have a significant impact on your life and game, no matter what stage you are at. That said, like anything in life you get out what you put into it. So be prepared for an intense experience and be willing to work hard after to master your new skills.

Cool that it's getting good for you man! I hope it continues that path.

My buddy and I was talking about bootcamps. Which bootcamp was the best and what determined the quality of a bootcamp. We came to the conclusion that a bootcamp isn't good enough if the student that continues his studies doesn't get continuous success in the game. I love vins method but I haven't read about someone gettin continuous results. Only this would bring you guys far more customers, including myself in the near future.

'Cause all the guys getting continuous results never bother coming back to the forum - they're too busy with women... j/k

I've had tons of students who now get continuous, consistent results post-bootcamp, even without further study... a few of them have posted follow up reviews (2-3 months post-bootcamp)

just do a search!
