Los Angeles Certified Bootcamp Review:

Arriving home, around 5 o’clock Monday morning I instantly pass out. Physically and mentally drained by my first boot camp with the ABC’s of Attraction. They Really, helped me improve my game. The ABC’s of attraction model is easy to learn, and effective. The BC was lead by Johnny Wolf, and assisted by Asian Playboy, Ozzie, and Jewelz. All of them were unbelievable instructors. Going on this BC is probably the best decision I have made in a long time.

I have been in the community lazily for 1 1/2 years. I would post online, read material, watch videos. I would then go out to nightclubs, open multiple sets, then done. That’s right done, either I would number close, or prematurely eject from the set. After months of inconsistency and frustration, I decided to sign up for an ABC’s Boot Camp. I learned so much from this BC. As frustrated as I was with my game, I was still naïve to think that I didn’t have that many flaws in my game. Boy was I wrong. For once in my life I have a clear mental picture and a direction to my game.

Whatever AA I had left was crushed by Johnny Wolf, Ozzie, and APB. They push you to the limit. It was tough at first, but once I was in state, everything just seems a whole lot easier. Another sticking point I had was escalation. I learned that in was an inner belief that was holding me back. By graduation, I was at the point where I was able to get sexual talk in, and comfortable enough to start going in for kiss closes.

The ABC’s System, is as simple as it can get. I truly believe, that anyone who learns, internalize, and uses this system WILL GET LAID! It’s a system where anyone, from any school of pick up, can plug in their knowledge and still improve themselves.

I couldn’t ask for better instructors. Walking around with them in field is like walking around with rock stars. Johnny Wolf has a great personality, easy to talk to, and he really knows the in and out’s of pick up. He is able to pick up on you body language, verbal, and mental mistakes, and knows how to correct them. Johnny in field totally blew me away. His ability to instantly attract and connect with women in a sexual state is amazing. Johnny Wolf’s AMOGing skills are very effective. I don’t think he even needs to use them, because the girls are so into their conversations.

APB was there to help point out mistakes we were making, and help teach the material. His knowledge in the game is extensive, and his insights on your sticking points are very accurate. But what he really excels in is his ability to push you, and just by watching you, he know exactly what it is that’s holding you back. I remember introducing him to my target and if my sub communication skills are correct she wanted to pounce on him. Watching APB instantly generate sexual attraction in less than half a minute was a treat to see.

Ozzie, our approach coach is great. The man was sick during the whole BC, but you couldn’t tell at all. He is a true professional and really great at helping you master the exercises that will improve your pick up game. He is there with great insight on your interactions right after you finish a set. On the first day, he handled obstacles for me with ease. Also his ability to come in under the radar and give you directions and encouragement while in set is remarkable.

Jewelz, our beautiful, and knowledgeable mother/instructor really knows how to analyze what it is you are doing wrong during practice, and in field. Just having her female perspective during this BC really helped all of us. Her advice during debrief was really helpful, and her posture exercises were very effective.

This boot camp is worth every penny. If you are considering to take a BC, I would highly recommend Johnny Wolf’s ABC’s of Attraction Boot Camp. You come out of this BC with allot of knowledge, and allot of confidence. No only do I consider Johnny, JT, Ozzie, and Jewelz as my instructors, but also as friends for life. They are so easy to get along with, and really good at bringing out your very best. They will push you every day of the BC. It’s very uncomfortable at first, but you will come out a much improved man.

Sydney Australia Pick Up Artist Bootcamp Review

I took a bootcamp with JT, Johnny Wolf and William. I signed up a few months in advance. At first I was told to contact a former alumni to ask more questions about the bootcamp. My game actually began to change when I met up with the members of the community who knew what they were doing and actually had some game.

I believed this was when my game really began to change. I knew about the game for a year now and been going out half-heartedly with my friends to try and pick up but it wasn’t going anywhere. So I decided to make a commitment to myself to change and sign up for a bootcamp.

Psychologist says that if you publicly announce that you have a problem then you would be more committed to going through with it thus be more successful (e.g. quitting smoking, heroin…). However, a bootcamp is not a magic bullet and I was fortunate enough to be told that early on. As a result I was more focused on the journey leading to the bootcamp, going out and practicing to lower my approach anxiety.

I saw the bc as a place to learn the structure and fundamentals of which to work on my game.

Johnny Wolf brought 2 HBs from London back to the sofa. I was just looking in awe then JT told me to engage the one blonde next to me so JW could focus on the other girl. I was a bit hesitant at first but once I talked her attention was just on meI did do the JW trap kiss close and got right up to her face…

Did exactly the same thing with first girl to asian HB, managed to got her back to our booth. Tried wolf trap again, I got a kiss but no make out. Determined, I did the kissing scale again and she said 10! So I said ‘really? Let’s find out’ pulled her in and Success! By the end of the night I was on fire and talked to almost every chick in the club. I’ve isolated and kiss closed for the first time ever in the club!

San Francisco Group Bootcamp Review

During the debrief, I got great advice not only in pickup, but how to handle situations in my life. For example, I’ve been having some problems with my roommates which I won’t talk about here, but it was very helpful. I felt like this bootcamp was more than just on picking up chicks, but it was so relevant to how to make my life better. I really appreciated their support and received great guidance.

In summary, this bootcamp was worth every penny. I’ve always had a hard time putting all the material that I learned together and never had a clear direction. With this, I’ve learned so much and I can finally say I’m on the right path. There were so many things that changed like body language, technique, etc. Another great thing about the ABCs model is that it adapts to everything. You can go direct, you can go indirect. The BLP I learned was so useful in not only escalating with the girl, but also helpful in taking care of cock blocks and friends. I didn’t even worry about group dynamics for the most part unless it got huge and I had a protective AMOG to deal with. I did more mixed sets in this bootcamp than I’ve ever done in the past
7 months. I can talk about the things I’ve learned, the things I’ve accomplished and all that, but it doesn’t equate to what I got out of the bootcamp. I mean I don’t know what else to say except that I feel so powerful I can’t describe it with words.

Good:
Body Language Positioning – OMG, kick ass shit. I felt like I had an edge over all the guys at the club, simply because I knew this stuff. At the same time I learned how not to deal with group dynamics. I didn’t have to worry about entertaining the group and going indirect or anything like that.
Body Language in general – I learned so many tips for improving my body language that simply by changing the way that I stood and moved physically, I felt more confident and alpha.
Great overall tips that I haven’t heard from a DVD/Seminar or another product.
Shattered a ton of barriers
I thought it was great how Johnny worked with us a lot longer than was scheduled in the bootcamp.

Toronto, Canada Bootcamp Review

This review is personal to me since I was fortunate enough to have him as my 1-on-1 bootcamp instructor. My review will not be about Johnny Wolf’s Lair visit or about Johnny Wolf, the master. It will be about Johnny Wolf, the friend. I own this guy a lot of gratitude for his professionalism. He is a person that lays it all out in order for you to learn.

Johnny’s not in the game for money, he’s in it for the honey. However I wish him fame and fortune for doing what he loves. Johnny is a very sharp observer and notices things that are off the radar; it’s a little uncanny when you see him in a sarge and how fast he can escalate. About Johnny’s sarges, on the rooftop patio of Chevelle niteclub, he scooped this smoking hot woman from a bunch of big alpha-looking guys that all circled him like chumps wondering WTF just happened. Johnny amog this chump’s coat to wrap himself and the HB in it to let his fingers do a little ‘comforting,’ because HB complain that it was cold. It was fucking ridiculous to see; that should have been a Youtube moment. Later, Johnny told me how he did it.

There’s a lot about Johnny Wolf. He’s not just a MPUA. The biggest thing is this, he’s one of those teachers that make you believe that you can do it. That is Johnny’s gift to all his students. Thank-you.

p.s. I know that all 3 nites of my bootcamp, Johnny could have got laid every nite. Running bootcamps must suck sometimes when you got to bail out of F-closes to tend to your students.

Grungey10′s Day Game Seminar Review

Great lecture today man, you fucking look like a true master as always. Looking forward to hearing from you and once again thank you very much for your teachings. You inspired me to view women as beautiful beings to be appreciated, unlike other people who view them as mere objects.

Los Angeles, CA Bootcamp Review

I recently took an ABCs of Attraction Intro Bootcamp w/ Johnny Wolf. This was my first real exposure to the community and I was very skeptical of what I would encounter.

Johnny Wolf is like a brother I never had. He genuinely wants to help and has the analytical skills and practical skills to point out weaknesses and provide solutions to overcome them. I’ve gotten lots of advice from close friends and family, people I really trust, but Johnny’s advice is more practical, understandable, suited to my ability and mindset, and I am more confident I am able to progress and implement his advice than what I’ve gotten from people I’ve known for years. It wasn’t about learning concepts, memorizing lines, etc. Johnny listened and tailored those concepts to align with my life. I was learning to adapt skills to my personality and be more cognizant and aware.

I don’t aspire to be a PUA, just trying to improve my success and live a more fulfilling life. I was apprehensive about taking the course, but I am very happy I did something different and went. Although I haven’t met Asian Playboy in person, I really admire what you and Johnny Wolf are doing in being proactive in helping Asian guys and just in general those of us who are anxiety ridden, shy by nature, or just generally oblivious. I am a better and more confident person as a result of coming across your website and meeting with Johnny.

I took this bootcamp a week ago, and I wanted to give it a little time before writing this review, because I be able to put some perspective on my experience.

I had only been studying the game on and off for six months before taking this camp. My friends would tell you that I’m a pretty good conversationalist, but I was noticing that with women, conversations would go nowhere. I could talk to a woman, and she wouldn’t be bored, but she wouldn’t be stimulated either.

Not to mention I had approach anxiety, worse than I thought it was. Most women I found myself talking to were at parties where no cold approach was needed. Over the last six months, I had been constantly beating myself up over not opening even one set at a venue, or when I did, either getting blown out or ejecting right away.

Johnny mentioned at the beginning the camp that this was no magic pill, rather this would advance us about ten months to a year from where we were starting out.

The bootcamp was not easy. It was work, sometimes really tough and emotionally draining work. And was it worth it? Yes. If I could go back and decide to do it all over again, would I? In a heartbeat.

The first place I noticed the difference was not in the field, but in my daily life. I’m much more the alpha male at work, and even when I’m shopping or out and about. When passing the 2 million hot women at work in my office, I’m no longer just giving a quick smile and saying a quick “hi,” I’ve got a big smile and will have no problems starting conversations with them. I’ve always kind of avoided interacting with my whacky neighbors, and now I’m engaging them more. And even when out shopping, I’ll interact with hired guns better and be able to just start random conversation in places like the grocery line.

Then there’s the field. Not only am I talking to more and more women, I’m talking to A LOT more people in general. Last night I met a guy who played Dr. Evil from behind in all of the Austin Powers movies. Random, I know, but as we chatted, he talked about his being a magician and said I can get into the exclusive Magic Castle anytime I want now with his personal invitation. This was at Sardos in Burbank, kind of a dive bar, but I found myself standing out. Random strangers wanted to talk to me. I opened sets on my own without a wing. By the end of the night, random women were giving me hugs.

A ton of PUA material I’ve read give a vague “be the life of the party” statement. Now, I truly know what it means.

But like I said Johnny told us, this wasn’t the magic pill that made it all better. For me, this was the training wheels coming off. I’ve still got a lot of work to put into this, but now I can see things in a whole new perspective.

I now know what’s out there. I know a) what I’m capable of already and b) what exactly my possibilities are now. I’ve got a day 2 with an HB9 tonight, and oddly, even though she’s the hottest girl I’ve ever been out with, I’m worrying about it far less than any date I’ve had before. Are things going to go okay with her tonight? I can’t say, I can only say I’ll be putting no less than 100% into it. And if something doesn’t go the way its planned, then I know for a fact be able to learn from my mistakes and pick myself up faster than I ever have before. That’s something I told myself early on, but truly was never able to comprehend. Now it’s a cold hard fact, engrained in my head to never go away.

For the first time in my life, I don’t have to just wait and hope for something to happen. I know that I can go out and do. And that’s something you can’t take away from me. For the rest of my life, you CANNOT take it away from me. And knowing that is truly priceless.

Hey fellas,
My name is Wilson, 22 year old student, who is about to graduate. Woot. I took the SF boot camp with APB, JW and showtime in the end of Jan of this year. Damn time flies. The boot camp was awesome, it was cool seeing APB in action, seemed like magic. Through out the boot camp every thing was coming at me so fast that it was hard to digest and apply right away. After taking the camp and some soul searching, I am finally starting to see clearly what the process is all about. I actually emailed Johnny Wolf a couple weeks ago telling him that pickup has helped me in all aspects of my life, my health, school work and relationships with my friends. Over the last few month, i feel I have grown a lot as a person. The material works, the weekend after the bootcamp, I was able to pull a girl from a party for a one night stand (but didnt go through cuz her crazy ass friend came and got her) and laid a girl that i meet from the same weekend. I kept that one as my girlfriend for the last two month, but I feel I am growing faster than she is. So recently I have been re-visiting what I have learned and started to watch the dvds from my bootcamp. This time over with the structure in mind, I was able to see a lot details that I have missed. ie. reboot. I am excited to work on my game again with my devotion and time.

See you guys in field,

Hey,guys! This is the AlphaZ! I just took the bootcamp with Johnny Wolf and Showtime last weekend. First off, if anybody that is considering taking a bootcamp with the ABCs of attraction team make the investment now, do the homework and know what to expect in the bootcamp! I think that I personally benefit a lot from having a positive mindset going into the bootcamp. As a college student, making this investment wasn’t an easy decision, but I’m glad that I did! The instructors of the ABCs team really took care of me, and I got to meet awesome fellow students who are nothing but nice guys trying to be successful with women. And there is nothing to be ashamed of! I did all my homework and had no approaching anxiety going into the bootcamp, it allowed me to get the most out of the bootcamp and learn what my sticking points are. Now I’m ready to go into the infamous beginner’s hell.

Day 1: The lecture potion of the BC is just eye opening. I thought I knew a lot about the pick up already, but Johnny and Showtime definitely have a lot up their sleeves. Day 1 is about A and B phase. This part is crucial to pick up, the details and subtleties that they demonstrate in the room are something that has to be seen in person. Also, one thing that Jonny mentioned on that day is that: “as puas, we evolve or die.” What allow them to be so successful is years of training and hard work in field, and they are always evolving and learning from feedbacks. I think this a really important for all the puas out there to know. So at night, we went to this restaurant bar, I was pretty excited to go into the field to put my newly acquired knowledge into use and get feedbacks. The night was still young; the place wasn’t very target-rich. Showtime spots a 2-set outside of the restaurant, so he asked me to approach. I looked over; there was hot blonde 2-set, with 4 dudes. I asked showtime: “the one with amogs?” Showtime confirmed me hesitantly. I thought about what I was taught in the lecture, so no hesitation I just went in. I addressed the whole set, but one of the guys started ignoring me, so I kept going and used a bit of amogging tactics that I already knew, and then they just walked away. I got to talk to the girls! I did A and B, then transit to C. In retrospect, I should’ve isolated and forced into D, but at the time I thought this is my first set, tonight I’m just going to focus on A and B. It turns out, the 2 set is the best one I talk to all night in terms of looks! This makes me think about something that JT says in his blog: “this is why we learn pick up, guys! So when your dream girl comes along, you have the skills to get her, to not let her walk away from your life!” we approached some more sets then bounce to another venue. The night ends at about 1:30, and then we went debriefing the night at Carrows. This is where the moment of the night comes from! While we were waiting for the food, I looked over my shoulder; next thing you know, Jonny is talking to a hot 6-foot tall brunette, and her friend is just sitting across the table doing her own thing. In about 2 minutes, they are already holding hands, I can tell from the eyes of the girl that she is totally into Johnny! Then I realized that I was witnessing the “stone cold pimp in action!” She was kinoing Johnny like crazy, I knew that she already fell into the wolf trap, it was over! At that moment, I felt like I was watching a romantic movie, the whole restaurant disappears, and there is the girl and Johnny, that’s it. Then they kissed. I have to say that watching Johnny in action is just unreal. The Carrows pick up wolf special meal is legendary!

Day 2: we learned C and D during the lecture portion. There was tons of information, we also went over the direct opener, I was really to put all of these into use and add onto what we learned in the previous night. For the night portion, we went to a club with bottle service. I knew that the goal of the night is to work on C and D. I was trying to bring girls back to our couches. The first set went really well, I ran direct opener and quickly brought them back to our table. The night kind of went downhill from there. After that, I went through a period where I was so eager to bring them back that it hindered my game. I was being needy at times. Then I analyzed my failed sets, and then decided to try harder and improve on certain things. I decided that I wasn’t going back to the table until I bring girls back. I didn’t want to leech off of other brothers and instructors; I needed to learn from my mistakes. Then I went downstairs, adjusted my energy level and one set immediately hooked. I ended up kissing a girl on the dance floor. After that, I got some new found confidence and was able to sit down with few more girls to work on my C and D. Once again, Jonny had some girls with him at the table most of the time and the crazy thing is that I never saw him leaving the table! Showtime gave me some advice on my direct opener that immediately gets me results. He has a keen eye for body language and tonality! After we left the club, we went to a Chinese restaurant for debriefing. At this point, I really felt like we were just bunch of brothers hanging out. The bond between all the students are strong, and I felt like we were all proud of each other’s accomplishment, and we talked about random cool shit in life besides debriefing, Johnny and Showtime were also enjoying the night with us.

Day 3: I went through E and F in lecture. I was quite surprised that the ABCs team went into such details about the logistics part. They really took care of us from the head to the toes, literally! The instructors really wanted us to succeed in this game. At night, we went to a bar. We ran into a lot of couples in the bar. It was a great chance to practice amogging. But it was the two conversations that I had with Johnny and Showtime that I found most memorable.Maybe it was because I never had much approach anxiety and was always out trying to improve myself, or maybe everybody saw me as a young guy that doesn’t have much going for him, for some reason I felt like Johnny never cared much about me. But this night, when I once again failed to take my time in the set as the instructors told me to, when I tried to isolate or go into D too early, Johnny snapped, he harshly criticized me. After that, I told Johnny that I felt freaking beta for the first time during bootcamp. Then I looked him in the eyes then said: “it’s ok because I know you love me like a little brother.” Then I saw Johnny nodding him head. At that moment, I just couldn’t hold up the tears in my eyes. I knew that Johnny really cared about me, and he was like the big brother that I never had in my life! I knew that the only way that I can make him proud was to succeed, so I turn around opened the closest set with the tears still on my face. Johnny later made a joke about it. I also spent a long time talking to showtime about amogging. I told him that I always thought amogging as an aggressive thing, I’m competitive and I want to win. But he used a superman analogy to tell me that you can be a good pua or a bad one. I realized that I go out to meet friends and have fun too, not just to pick up girls, and take them away from their boyfriends. I knew that my aggression probably comes from the frustration of being an angry Asian man. But now I can proudly say that I will always go out to have fun, and nobody is going to make me mad because I’m more emotionally intelligent. The night ended at 2:00, then after debriefing, we all went our separate ways. I really felt a sense of lose. I didn’t want it to end, I felt like we were all brothers. But every beginning has an end and every end is a new beginning!

Johnny: like I said, I felt like you are the big brother that I never had. I really enjoyed learning from you. Even though that I’m a few years younger than you and I don’t have much going for me now, I will always remember you! You showed me the way, and I’m going to take this and change my life. I’m going to tell myself that I can do this! As I’m writing this, I can’t help but get all emotional here. Let’s just leave it here.

Showtime: I learned a lot from you over the weekend. Not just pick up, but also how to be a man. For a guy that is same age as me, your maturity level is just unreal! You shared some of your experience growing up and dealing with family, they really helped me realize what is possible and what I need to improve on.

APB: Even though I didn’t have the pleasure to meet you in person, I want to especially thank you for setting up the program and blog. It was reading your blogs that give me the strength to push myself in the field, go into the hardest situations. I know that you personally went through all that to get to this point, and what we are going through in the beginner’s hell is nothing comparing to all the hard work you put in. Thanks again for showing us the way!

Fellow students: I really enjoyed learning and growing with all you guys. During the bootcamp, I realized that all of us are real guys that deserve to have quality women in our life. We are all fun and genuine, and I will definitely keep in touch with you guys!

Overall, my bootcamp was a transcending experience that opened my eyes. All the tactics and skills Johnny instilled in us were subtle but extremely powerful and I’m grateful for what I learned during my bootcamp.

Johnny Wolf: Thanks a lot for really trying to make sure we absorb everything being taught, especially, “I’m curious,” haha. The way the bootcamp was structured, short lecture and a lot more practice sessions, was the way to go and I really do respect the skills that you developed that led you to become who you are today and your advice for me. Thanks a bunch again and keep it real.

Bootcamp Review 4 months later

My original goal was just to get numbers, which I can easily achieve, now I got to level up and get Day2s. Now, at the very least, I will express direct interest. And, if the time is right, I will try to make out with every girl I see at the nightclubs. I got a long way to go, but the path feels much easier. Even more so, because there’s so many Alumnis that I’ve learned from.

I cannot express what the bootcamp was done for me. I am in a new city and I started out knowing only 5 people …If it was the old me, I would still only know these 4 people to begin with. Right now, I have made so many new friends, I can’t even count them. People are happy to see me.

This is me, OFF of the bootcamp high. I still look back at this as such a experience that I would never forget. I’ve only had positive things to say about the ABC’s of Attraction.
