Wow! What a weekend! Not only were the teachers a great group of people, but the students where a fantastic group of guys. As for my thoughts on the individual teachers...
Rye Lee
As always, an awesome guy. He's the real reason I went to this workshop, the chance to sarge with and learn from him again is just too good to pass up. His knowledge of NLP is astounding, and his game is solid as a rock. We also had a great chat for about two hours about "after game" which is how to handle a relationship after sex. Rye is indeed an mPUA, a fantastic teacher, and an all around great guy.
The Saint
This guy is so good that it's scary. He comes in so high energy that he just makes you want to succeed. He's very well spoken, has great vocal tonality, is incredibly knowledgeable, and seems able to make you feel like you are the only student at all times. The Saint could have closed probably 20 different HB's (LITERALLY) but threw them either to us or back in order to teach. He teaches natural game, having been a natural for years himself, and when he does you don't see it as "game" anymore. It becomes a matter of improving yourself, and presenting your inner attractive High Value persona to the people around you. He also pushes comfort zones past the edge, is absolutely insane, and it was an honor and a pleasure to learn from him.
Not only is the Saint a great mPUA, he is very professional. Very well prepared with a curriculum (that I'm sure he created with Zip and Rye) a great sense of style, and an incredible ability to read people and size them up in seconds.
Zip
After reading all 50 pages of her "Ask Zip!" thread I thought I was ready for anything. I wasn't. First off, she's a beautiful woman (don't tell her I said that) who's funny, playful, and 100% real. Secondly, she is an encyclopedia of PUA knowledge. I really liked the fact that I could mention something I had read about and she could tell me her thoughts on it, what 37 other PUA's thought about it, the year it was developed and the color of the book that it's published in.
In field she makes opening sets like cutting though butter with a hot knife. She DHV's for you, show preselection, helps you isolate, corrects body language, pumps BT... In a nutshell she makes that HB 10 in the corner eye fuck you, what you do with that is up to you. If anyone is going to be in NY, you NEED to message Zip and see if she's available for private instruction and winging.
While all the students were great one really stood out as a full PUA, Konica. We really played well off of each other, I saved a bunch of his sets for him by DHV'ing him, and he was only too happy to return the favor. I welcome the chance to wing with him any day.
There are a few things that really stand out in my mind about this workshop.
Number one was how the instructors came out and said how they really felt that we are all students. They weren't any "better" then us, just more experienced. The focus of the workshop was learning together.
The whole Charisma Concept crew was incredibly professional. The details were all handed by them, we started out with lecture followed by field work. Then it was time for debrief, more lecture, then more field work. However, the lecture never felt like lecture, it was just fun conversation that was loaded with magic bullets.
Rolling with a group of PUA's is unlike anything else. When you enter a venue with 3 masters the air is electric. The Saint and Rye gave me the courage to say fuck it, and just try new things. A workshop is for learning, for bringing your game to the next level. I really feel that's exactly what happened here. I only wish I would have had more time to soak up information from these three.
Bottom line, if you can make it to any think where Rye Lee, the Saint, or Zip will be there you absolutely should. The personal attention they give you, their ability to instruct, and their passion to really help make you not only a better PUA but a better person is unmatched.
Thanks guys! Respect
