1. If you want real results that not only will get you that first date but the second and third, Stephen is the man to help make that happen. He breaks down everything you need for both online and real world approaches, making it a lot smoother and effortless to strike up conversations with substance and depth in person. For online game he shows you how to create profiles that catch the eye, provide intrigue, and add a bit more to draw them in. It’s because of Bravo that on my first day in my new area (moved across the country) I connected with the woman I have built a family with, a feat in and of itself made even more impressive when I realized this region is notoriously hard to find a good woman without having to travel an hour and a half. How did I do that? You’re going to have to let Bravo help you! Seriously, stop waiting. It works.

   1. I knew you had a family now, but didn’t know all these details!
      That’s amazing brother!!!
      Congrats on the family, the best thing we can ever do.

2. Bravo’s unique approach to coaching is by far the best there is. He’s not trying to make you into something you aren’t, but rather helping you become the best version of yourself. By doing that, dating comes naturally.

   I have personally benefited from his coaching and have been married for 8 years now with two children and one more on the way. I can personally say I’m a better man from knowing him and benefiting from his coaching. I can also say there’s very few people that set such an example of integrity in their own personal life the way he does.

   Do yourself the favor of trying his one on one coaching. You will have to do the work, but if you do, it can be life changing. I highly recommend Bravo for all of his training!

3. I recently retired from the military, and had walked away from another unfulfilling romantic relationship. I was stuck in reverse battling with depression, PTSD, a defeatist mindset, and had fallen prey to unhealthy coping mechanisms. I had all but given up when I took a chance on Stephen. My 1 on 1 weekend exceeded all expectations.

   I’ve done “pickup” bootcamps before, this was better. What I learned over my weekend transcended strategies and tactics, focusing more on congruence and connection, not just with women, but with everyone. He helped me realize that I didn’t look like the person I had become after leaving the service, and had some long standing conversational habits and mindset issues to work on. This wasn’t just about attracting women, it was life coaching, and the tools he gave me have allowed me to keep moving forward. There’s no substitute.

   As a black belt, I was genuinely surprised during our tactical training. It’s rare to meet someone that sees the value of traditional techniques and philosophy but can apply their knowledge and integrate it along with modern practicality. When it came to dealing with a blade and firearm, every clever idea I had was stuffed in short order…and it was awesome. I’m rarely left with a sense of humility and reverence, but I got there. He didn’t just showcase some skills, but gave me sound foundational drills I still practice. The radio training was awesome, I’d used radios for work in the military, even handled the encryption for them. This was more practical for urban and standard situations.

   Lastly, I’ll say this. Stephen is a good dude, he’s congruent with what he says he’s about and how he lives. He wants you to win, and he knows you can do it. It’s not about making you his clone, it’s about giving you the tools to meet your definition of success in relationships and as you move forward in life. For me, he overdelivered, and I had a great time.

4. I wanted to take the time to review Bravo’s Online Game program. It’s the real deal.

   I was never really that great with online game. Like many guys, I had a Tinder profile when it first came out. However, I got maybe half a dozen likes in the 2 years I had it before I ended up dropping that app. What’s more, none of these likes ever ended up in a date – or anything else really. If anything, the closest I got solo was being ghosted once in college. Fast forward to today, and I just came back from my 2nd of 2 dates this weekend. Let’s just say that overall I’m pleased with the results (especially with the first one yesterday). Over the past month, I’ve made out with a couple girls and likely went on over half a dozen (1st and 2nd+) dates in total.

   My point in writing this out isn’t to gloat, or to pretend that I’m anything special – I’m not. I’m writing this review to make it clear to anyone interested that Bravo’s system works, especially if you actually put in the effort to learn and execute on its lessons. You’ll be surprised at what you can pull off. For context, this is coming from a guy who had his last date back in 2016, as a senior in college (I’m writing this review in June 2024).

   It’s a crazy thing when something actually lives up to it’s promise. Let’s just say that my head was spinning after I made out with that first girl. Bravo, thanks again for all of the patience and coaching. Cheers.

5. The shorthand version of my review is that Bravo is an amazing coach, and an even better person.

   Now for the longer review:

   This is coming from the perspective of someone who has played and won a certain 30 day challenge at least 3-4 times at various stretch points of his life, starting with his Freshman year of college. The rules were simple – do the daily missions, and win it by getting a girl’s number and going on a date with her at any point within its 30 days. That said, as anyone who has attempted to learn pickup knows, the process of actually taking on this challenge is extremely difficult. The truth is that almost every aspect of how you interact with the world needs to be tweaked or changed completely, and actually making these changes takes time and effort. It’s extremely easy to go down the wrong path by overlooking various aspects of yourself, not get the results you want (even after making the effort), and burn out. This is especially true if you’ve only ever attempted to learn the game solo, without any real guidance, as I have.

   I reached out to Bravo specifically because of his background with said challenge. You see, I could never stick the landing regardless of the amount of effort I put into playing the game. I would go through the missions, “win” the challenge after 2-3 months, and for whatever reason eventually revert to my pre-challenge self, wasting all of the effort. Looking back, part of it was definitely the intensity of the school I went to. That said, I played the challenge enough times where I knew that there were definitely other factors at play – subconscious mistakes I was making that I weren’t aware of and therefore couldn’t fix. It got to the point where the process of taking on the challenge to learn pickup turned into a pretty bad cycle. I’d play the game, usually get a date or two, and then eventually give up and revert to my earlier self – rinse and repeat.

   The worst part is that life eventually catches up to everyone. It’s been years since the last time I played the game. The truth is that I’m out of practice, and I’m nowhere near that modest skill level that I once had. Let’s just say that after one particularly bad social experience, I woke up the next morning realizing that I wasn’t 18 anymore, that I had wasted a lot of time leaving this part of my life up to chance, and that my best shot at getting good at the game came in the form of jumping into pickup one last time. The only question was “What could I do differently so that I could actually stick the landing this time”?

   From the moment I met Bravo in person, I got the type of feedback that I needed. Previously, I would open and push sets forward mostly through willpower alone, unaware that I was making subconscious mistakes that were already in the process of sinking me. Bravo studied me, pointed out the issues I needed to fix, and gave me concrete recommendations of how to fix them. He was tough, calm, and fair – all while being a great mentor and an even better person. It was a humbling and eye-opening experience. After all, you can’t fix the issues that you can’t see, and I definitely didn’t see them. The truth is that I really did need someone with the experience to mentor and provide me with the feedback that I needed to succeed.

   My story is still very much in progress. I’ve spent the last week since my one on one with Bravo, combing through my notes and taking the actions that I need to take to implement his feedback to the best of my ability. I can already tell that these upcoming months will be both challenging and rewarding, given that these are actions that I have never done before. All I want is to stick the landing; it’s my hope that this will be the last time that I’ll need to go through this personal journey. Bravo, thanks for all of your help. Thanks for believing in me and giving me the confidence that I could actually make this happen. As far as I’m concerned, you’re a mentor and a friend. I’ll be in touch.

6. Bravo is a dating expert who came highly recommended. After doing 1 coaching call with him, I could tell right away that he’s a cool guy who knows his stuff and wants to help.

   I was working with another coach whose program was more expensive and didn’t provide much feedback at all or would show me random stuff that had nothing to do with my situation. Whereas with Bravo’s program, we are able to go over whatever I want such as online game, inner game, logistics, etc. He also tells funny stories to put things in perspective which makes the calls more fun and enjoyable.

   We also have a private message board and weekly chat that we can use to interact and share stories with like minded people who are also in the program so you get the help of a mastermind as well.

   I would definitely recommend this guy’s program for sure.

7. Bravo cares about the people he coaches, and helps them level up in ALL areas of their lives. I know my life is MUCH better because of listening to his advice, and he has never steered me wrong. People now can’t believe it when I tell them I used to be an introvert and too shy to talk to women, but Bravo helped change all of that with his amazing coaching. If you want to improve any area of your life you need someone to help coach you, and when it comes to relationships, becoming more social, and anything about being a better man, you can’t go wrong with coaching from Bravo!

8. I did my first one on one with Bravo right at the start of the pandemic. When most people were stuck at home my inbox was filled with women who wanted to meet me because of what I learned from him.

   This coming winter when my life quiets down a little bit more I will be doing a second one and one, and I cannot wait to work with you again, brother!

9. Bravo – I sending this to you in the hopes that other guys who are struggling to find answers about online dating read this. Feel free to share it. It’s honest, nothing more, nothing less.

   Let me preface this by noting I am a clinical and forensic psychologist (yes, doctorate level). I study people. I can’t even estimate the number of couples I have counseled. Almost six weeks ago, my relationship finally ended (a dentist can still get a cavity). I have heard horror stories about online dating from both male and female patients. In the same boat, I was confused, anxious, and even considered returning to that terrible ex. Online dating isn’t natural, and it’s fucking weird. I sought some clarity on the internet and repeatedly saw folks referencing someone named Bravo. I finally found a video of him explaining online dating. It blew my mind! I sought him out, and it’s paid off in dividends already. I would have never figured this out on my own despite seven years of grad school and a ton of professional experience. My online game is like fishing with dynamite. He has made it so easy!

   As a psychologist, I am amazed at what you have put together, Bravo. It all makes so much sense now, and the results speak for themselves. You are my new favorite person! I’m so impressed. You have had a major impact on my life in a few short weeks. Thank you! And I hope you know that. You really have!

   If you are struggling with online dating, check out Bravo’s online coaching program (after you do, say hi – I am a real person). He has put in years of work figuring this out, so we don’t have to. What you will learn from him is priceless, and the collective mind of the other group members accelerates this process. All the things you won’t even say to your closest friends about your insecurities will at some point come up in the online coaching program. Bravo is the guy I go to for help with online dating.

   Online dating is confusing! Why struggle?

10. When it comes to dating coaches, there is no question Bravo is the man to see! After
    just two days of 1 on 1 coaching, there is definite improvement in my game.  I came to cover
    basic sticking points such as approach anxiety, developing self-confidence, escalating
    conversations, and number closing. These points were not only covered, but so much more
    information was addressed.

    Starting each day, Bravo drops so much information and touches
    on a ton of subjects, but it’s never too much for the student to handle. Then the second half of the day we went infield to the mall. The first day went well but not exceptional. After each set
    Bravo breaks things down and you go right back into the next one more prepared. The second day was much more difficult to get rolling into sets, but when he saw me getting overwhelmed he reassessed the days assignment and made adjustments. To me this showed how good of a coach he really is, because he adjusted the objective to make my approaches and conversations much more effective and positive instead of continuing what wasn’t working for me.
    After it was all said and done we went to dinner to debrief the weekend. While we were eating our waitress came over and handed me her number on a piece of paper. All this happened without me even asking for it. I followed Bravo and his work for a few years before pulling the trigger on a 1 on 1 session with him and I wish I had done it a long time ago. Without a doubt he is an unbelievable coach and this shows by being able to cover a ton of valuable information quickly, motivate the student to complete their daily objectives infield and out, and giving constructive criticism on sets.
    Lastly, when he is coaching he is completely locked in. Each day we went well beyond our scheduled time together, and he continued to give valuable Information. The entire time, you have his undivided attention and he gives you more than you pay for. 

    The past two days were incredible and I can’t wait till the next time I’m able to go back! Not
    only were my sticking points covered but my expectations were exceeded. If you’re looking to
    level up any part of your life, there’s no one else I recommend to see more than Bravo!

    Thanks for an awesome weekend!

11. Review: Bravo Coaching Call (From a Skeptic)

    I got into this, and did most of it on my own for a while, and eventually met up with some of the great guys around here – who gave me priceless advice and became more like brothers than fellow PUAs. I’d first like to thank them, because had they not been so awesome, I’d have been inclined to continue on my own. DJNinja, Rogue4Life, Boomer, NSM, Smoothcall, Ice, Tech, (those one liner posts), and so many others that I can’t even begin to name you all. Much Apreesh, Brothers.

    Now, on to the calls. Like I said, I was a skeptic. I thought it would be literally impossible to learn anything about bettering my life in an hour on the phone with some guy who knew nothing about me, and had never met me. I mean honestly, what the hell was he really going to SAY that would make any kind of lasting impact, in an hour? 200$ Is more money than I have to throw at some gimmick, which is what I truly believe it was, So I resolved that If I was ever going to spend money on this, it’d be at PX, or one on one.

    Enter Rogue4Life, and DJNinja. These guys had done the calls, and had nothing but praise for them. That wasn’t enough to impress me into buying anything though, not that I don’t trust these guys (I do, and they are some of the finest men I know), but I know me, and I just didn’t feel like it was the right fit.

    Rogue kept telling me every time we went out, any time Bravo came up (Which is pretty often with a group of guys from here) that the calls would make a huge difference, not just with game, but with my view of the world, and success, and that those things would bleed through into my lifestyle.

    Rogue told me if I did do it, that I absolutely have to do a package or I would regret it.

    So off I went to chat up bravo, see what it was about. I didn’t know this, but the guy has a 100% refund policy, all you have to do is ask for your money back after the call, and it’s yours. After hearing that I still wasn’t sold even – like I said, total, 100% skeptic. After seeing videos I had downloading of bootcamps from other PUAs, and a few recordings of their coaching calls, etc, I was very convinced that this was a waste of time. Only after talking to DJ about it, did I jump in..

    So I bought the 4 pack. First call comes around, and I wasn’t very good at telling bravo where I was with game, etc. He immediately picked up on the filler words I always use and never knew, told me to cut them out, and a couple of other really great tips. He gave me my homework/mission for the week, which I kinda felt was a step backwards – but I embraced it, and trusted after the end of the call that he completely knew what he was doing.

    By the third call, this guy has identified so many problems that I couldn’t see and wasn’t aware of. It’s astonishing to me how good he is at reading people, and how observant he is. Dude has the perfect metaphors for the situations, to get the point across to you.

    At the end of my last call, I remember him talking about his life before pick up, relaying to me a story about how he would grab the last chicken breast in the grocery store, and if someone else said something or was reaching for the same last item, he would let them have it, because he’s such a nice guy. He then relayed how he’s changed and why it’s better not to be such a “nice” guy.

    At this point, I was pretty shocked. In the last two stories he had completely described the person I used to be, almost to the letter. I had to ask.

    “Bravo, are you for real right now? Did those things really all happen to you, or are you just that god damn good at reading people, that you knew how I was, and how to relate the point to me, using my own traits/building rapport with me”

    I had to know. Of course I expected any social interaction with Bravo, or any other PUA to be calculated, and for there to be a reason behind it. I was just blown away with the accuracy.

    He told me, and I believe him, that this really is who he use to be – and – that he really is that damn good. He told me he was able to figure out who I was, and what would help ME understand the point he was making. He could have picked any of an entire lifetime’s worth of experiences, to relate the story to me – but he picked the perfect example. An example of something I’ve actually done. He did it intentionally. This guy is extremely good at teaching – not just pick up – we all know he’s great when it comes to pua – but after a 6 figure education from a top university, and being a “professional” student most of my life, I can say with complete confidence that I’ve never met a teacher who can convey the message and material in a more efficient and effective method, I’ve only spent 3 hours on the phone with him – and I can tell you right now that my ability to win over sets, groups, and push interactions farther and get VALUE out of every interaction has easily doubled – but I prefer to use the word skyrocketed.

    I’d recommend this to anyone serious about self improvement – lifestyle improvement, and obviously game improvement. Buy the package if you aren’t sure – you’ll kick yourself for not taking the deal when you could have it – you can always get a refund after your first call if you feel it wasn’t worth it – but believe me, there is a reason that no one ever has – or will.

    Oh yeah, I almost forgot, 40 minutes after our last coaching call, I was naked in bed with a chick.

    So yeah, they’re worth it.

13. Wanted to give you guys an update from our Online Game coaching call yesterday – Every single call there’s always something to learn and take away from and this week was no exception. The main discussion was Bravo’s new, short bio. I’ve played around with my bio and tested a few to some great success, but the last month it’s been a bit slow for me, in terms of likes and matches. Decided to try out the new short bio (which short bios really haven’t worked well for me in the past) and my god within the 1st hour I got over 20 matches and already scheduled a date for tomorrow. Since implementing yesterday, as of 4pm today, I’ve gotten over 100 “likes” between both Tinder and Bumble and over 40 matches to go through. If you haven’t signed up yet, I STRONGLY recommend.

14. Hey, Bravo. Just wanted to give you an update since it’s been a good 7 months since our one on one. A lot can change as you’re forced to really confront the path you’re on during something unpredictable like a nationwide quarantine.

    Well, you were right. The work I put in is already paying off. I just got into a monogamous relationship with and a very compassionate, intelligent and beautiful woman. We originally met online, but I still wanted to date around until I realized she was really someone of substance and had many qualities I want in someone long term that no other girl I’ve met has.

    I now know what you mean when you say you can’t just jump into a relationship with the first girl who shows interest in you. I probably dated 12 or so girls before I decided I really wanted to pursue things with this girl.

    It’s funny because at first she couldn’t explain why she was so attracted to me. She’ll say things to me like, “I want you to like me more than I like you!” And she’ll work extra hard to try and make it happen too. ?

    Me, I’m just continuing my study of martial arts and learning to loosen up my mind and overall approach to things in life, like work and giving back to family.

    I can tell this relationship is a solid one. We both have flaws that were working on and we’re honest about them. It’s making our connection stronger. Very thankful for everything you taught me during our one on one and I’ll be back in the next year to do another one with you. ??

15. I had my one on one with Bravo this weekend and when I landed I didn’t really know what to expect. When I told him where I would meet him even then I knew he was asking where I would be to test how I was thinking. He later gave me tips on planning ahead rather than just trying to plan things last minute.

    I’ve known for a while that I’ve been needing to kick my life into high gear, but I never really had a blueprint or template of any kind to follow along with for where I wanted to take things. When it comes to my dating life for most of my life I’ve been able to hook up with girls, but not any that I considered desirable. I was more or less caught in a perpetual cycle of validation seeking, porn overload, or settling for whatever I was offered from whatever girls would date me.

    One of the first things Bravo noticed during our first meal was how much of a negative look I have. He actually took a picture then told me to smile with my whole face and showed me the two. I had no idea I was even waking around like that all this time. I think the people who know have kind of accepted that so they probably never think to say anything. The first thing I was told we were going to work on was being positive and smiling more.

    We arrived at my hotel after breakfast and dropped my stuff off so we could go to the gun range. I noticed right away how social and charismatic Bravo is with other people. We worked on the proper way to load and use a glock 19 for a few hours. From time to time I was caught not actively listening and reminded this is something likely affecting quality women deciding whether or not to continue an interaction with me.

    When we returned to my hotel we had our first inner game discussion as we were training in some basic edge weapons drills. The lesson went on for a few hours, but was worth the hardass heart to heart about manning up in life and taking the time to really decide what to say and how to say it. I was then given an overview of the week and later we reconvened for the best pork ramen dish I’ve ever had in my life.

    The thing about Bravo is a lot of the questions he asks you gets you to reframe your own thought process. It kinda sucks to hear at first because you’re so used to living life a certain way, but if you’re like me things are most likely not going the way you wanted. That’s why I was so willing to change.

    The next few nights mostly consisted of going to the local malls and talking to women to get over approach anxiety, work on conversation steering and building an emotional connection. I stumbled through quite a few sets early on, but also started to finally get a grip and really think before I speak so I can lead with a more mindful and positive vibe.

    We went through a lot of notebook work and assignments in the hotel room and I still have a lot of work to do in a lot of areas, particularly in my wardrobe, but as soon as I was dropped back off at the airport I started noticing how much more positive, present and mindful I was. I met a girl at a restaurant in the airport and have a day 2 with her this week for tacos and margaritas. I also matched with like four other girls already who want to meet me this week and next, so I now need to work on scheduling dates more efficiently since I haven’t really had this issue before.

    I told Bravo when he dropped me off I plan to do two of these one on ones a year to re-evaluate where I’m at in my relationship goals and in the other areas of life I want to level up in. I see the value in this type of coaching as compared to online or phone coaching and I would highly recommend to anyone here who is struggling to square your finances away so you can make a good investment in yourself.

    I’m thankful for the wake up call I got and feel kinda like Neo from the matrix. I’m noticing all these little negative things I was doing and the way women are responding to me is different already.

    Thank you, Bravo!

16. Ive been looking back on the last 8 months since my one on one with you and my life has completely changed. I waited so long before I made the decision to even reach out about coaching and now can’t understand why. I came to you to get better with women and the result has been a complete life upgrade. The possibilities and opportunities I have today would have never been available had I not made the decision to work with you. I have so much gratitude for you and what you’ve done for me in my life and pushing me to be better while giving me the tools and mindset I needed to level up my life. There is no way I would be who I am or where I am today without your help! Thank you for all you do man!

17. What an epic weekend with Stephen. I was broken when I came out to Phoenix. He broke me down and built me up. He got to the root of my issue with crazy women. It was a total enlightening moment for me. Stephen will do a program specifically to your situation. This isn’t a cookie cutter program. You are going to have to work your ass off, but it’s so worth it.
    Seeing him in the field was amazing. He is the master of cocky and funny with women. Beautiful woman were totally into him. He will teach you how to do it, but it’s going to take practice.
    Firearms training is a must. I haven’t shot since I was 14. He is an expert in dating and firearms.
    It was a life-changing weekend.
    Totally worth every penny.
    I am rebuilt and a new man!

18. Bravo is the real deal and rarely do you meet someone as dynamic as he!
    What an eye opening experience this was for me. Although I made some big improvements, I know I still have a ton work to do, but for the first time in a long time I wake up feeling optimistic and confident knowing I am on the path to a much better life. Thank you Bravo for being such a badass coach, pushing me out of my comfort zones and really going the extra mile for me.
    Its been about 3 weeks since my 1 on 1 already my life is improving.
    I have gone on 3 dates now from cold approaching girls, and I pulled 2 of them back to my pad.
    My online game is blowing up! I used to get very few matches and now I am seeing a massive increase in matches and dates.
    Using tools Stephen taught me, I locked down a huge promotion at my job!
    My family and friends have noticed and commented on me appearing happier and more confident.
    Thanks again!

    I think you are going in the right direction with your company. The PUA community in general never gave me or anyone I knew permanent fixes and or just taught them to be social robots with no real intention of leveling up in life but just getting women in bed as a short term fix to a longer internal problem. It was also full of fake “Masters” or keyboard jockeys looking to up their online persona but not actually be cool in real life. I was too young and immature to understand this and kept floundering around even after we had our 1 on 1 which was bad on my part because even then I didn’t have the emotional maturity to understand that there were still unresolved issues with in me that women just could not fix.
    I have through your blog posts and much meditation and self reflection over come a lot of these internal problems. I now understand that being cool and being a man comes from having standards and holding yourself and others to those standards. That being in a relationship is about being open and honest about what both of you want.
    Because of this and other things you have taught I am now in school and making great grades and am possibly deciding on going to medical soon after.
    My relationship with my GF is great and we are coming up on two years. We are both open and honest about what we want and have the same goals long term wise. I honestly can’t remember the last time we got in an argument or if we ever have since we agree on so much. This was possible due to your lessons and coaching.
    In the past I have read tons of books from “The Game” to “Rules of the Game” to David Deangelo to Savoy est. None of those have come close to what I’ve learned from your forums or from coaching calls with you.
    As I said before I really am fully behind the moving away from the PUA jargon and general creepy vibe from the whole community and turning to actual learning how to be a man and being a cool guy with real skill sets like survival and guns/social skills.
    I look forward to more from the new page.

20. I got into pickup only a couple years after The Game was released. Right before I paid for a premium membership on a popular site, we were friends on MySpace and we spoke about your site, and I was hooked instantly.
    Having the experience of learning from you, and from other awesome guys both in your free forum, and especially the guys my side of the Great Pond – who all used your forums to meet up and become very friends – moved my life forward in a way I just can’t see that I’d ever have paid a premium site for.
    I had an opportunity to meet you when you came to London to speak at a seminar and you told the random student that came up to us, “He’s a friend, not a student” – you still have no idea how much that meant to me to this day.
    Whether you call yourself PUA, life coach, or just all around awesome person, you’re always a friend to me, and I’ll continue to bump up the membership numbers on your site by 1.
    My life is in such an amazing place right now, I have a perfect job, a perfect fiancée (who I believe you prompted me to focus on), and a gorgeous baby daughter, and I owe a lot of that to you…. Obviously I did most of the work when it came to creating my daughter but I’m sure you could teach that too!
    So in summary, thanks for being a friend, for being a mentor, and for helping me change my life for the better 🙂

21. I’ve known Stephen Grosch aka “Bravo” for many years now, having known him as a fellow speaker and coach in our industry. One day he started showing me some of the edged weapons and tactical training he had done and I was super impressed. I had been begging him to put together a class ever since, so when he announced the first-ever “dream course” with a world-renowned VIP instructor who is so exclusive that we can’t even mention his name, I jumped on board right away.
    I came into the class with a little bit of background in self defense and tactical training. I’m a former U.S. Marine Sergeant with a black belt in Shito-Ryu Karate under 9th degree black belt Sensei Fumio Demura and fairly extensive grappling/wrestling experience. But I saw some of the stuff Stephen could do and I was amazed. So I wondered if the instructor team and the content could match my already sky-high expectations.
    The short answer is FUCK YES. I was blown away by the training, the professionalism, the instructors, and the gear Stephen had imported from Southeast Asia for our training. We all left the class with over 30 hours of drills and instruction, real-life tactical simulation experience, and a large bag of some of the best tactical training gear on the market.
    What I was looking for going into a class like this was something that would “fill in the blanks” between my structured, very traditional (and somewhat less-than-realistic) Okinawan karate training and the war-zone-specific tactical training I had done in the Marines. I knew how to punch, kick, block, and fire a weapon, but none of my previous training had ever taught me how to improvise a weapon from a t-shirt, or disarm a pistol pointed at me, or block a knife attack.
    We learned all of that and more. The course covered, among other things, weapons familiarization and training, self-defense against various weapons, working with and around vehicles, planning escape routes, approaching and clearing vehicles, and ended with a real-life field training exercise where we put our skills into practice in a real world simulation with hidden role players and the observation of our instructors. The 4-day class flew by and the exhilarating, adrenaline-fueled field training exercise at the conclusion gave us all a deep appreciation for the skills and stresses of the everyday life of a protective agent.
    The bottom line is that if you care AT ALL about protecting your family or your loved ones, you NEED to take this class or find a way to train with Stephen. As someone who went into this with a little experience already, it was downright humbling to see how much Stephen knows and how effective of a trainer he is. Whether you’re brand new or have had previous experience, you’ll be amazed at how much real-world stuff you’ll learn from him. I know it’s not cheap, but quality never is. The way I saw it was, “Can I put a price on the safety of my loved ones?” I didn’t look at it as an expense, I looked at it as a small investment in the safety of my family, my loved ones, and myself. It’s a shame that most people in the general public will never get training like this, because it’s the type of training that will save your ass if you’re ever unlucky enough to get into a life-threatening situation.
    P.S. The NY Times reports that the U.S. Government’s National Crime Study indicates that 83% of 12 year old children in the U.S. will be victims or intended victims of a violent crime sometime in their life. EIGHTY THREE PERCENT. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.

22. The other week wrapped up one of the most badass weekends of my life, a 4 day tactical training and VIP protection seminar hosted by Stephen Grosch aka Bravo and lead instructor Steve T. Well worth the time, energy, and money to go and participate in this.
    What we got was basically weeks worth of training condensed into 4 action packed days, highlighting what was most important to our group. While we learned tactics on how to protect Executives and VIP’s, it was also tailored to our group on how to protect yourself, your gf, or wife and kids. And it was obvious that both Bravo and Steve T knew how to teach effectively, because they would take what was normally a two day course, and pare it down to a couple hours hitting the most relevant stuff for our group’s needs.
    The training was divided into two skill sets – Hard skills and soft skills. The hard skills was probably the most fun to learn, like how to use a knife, impact weapon, etc, but more importantly how to defend yourself against these attacks (glad we were given training blades and sticks to practice these moves with friends back home), but the soft skills were probably more useful. Learning how to recognize dangers before you are put in a dangerous situation, how to avoid them all together, and how to prepare your gear to be ready to move from a hostile situation.
    What we learned wasn’t about standing and fighting. It was about learning how to not get hurt and to stay safe, even if that means using the hard skills. But hopefully the soft skills will keep you from needing to.
    Finally, on the last day we did an actual field training exercise working a protection detail for a couple of ladies. We had no idea whether the guys staring at them or coming up to talk to them were planted there by our instructors, or if they were just real life people, and had to respond to potential threats accordingly. It was exhilarating, difficult, and such a learning experience.
    If these guys offer this again, it is definitely worth it, and if they ever do a level two class then I’ll def be there there myself.

23. Text from me to my fiance:
    I can now draw my knife and kill someone in less than one second.
    As others have said already, this training was amazing. The amount of knowledge gained in this bootcamp was phenominal. If you weren’t there, you really missed out. A couple of people had to back out at the last minute and I feel really sorry for them because they have no idea what they missed.
    Prefense.
    First we learned what happens leading up to every type of attack, be it a home invasion, robbery, mugging, you name it. Understanding how to recognize threats and prevent yourself and your loved ones from ever reaching a point where you need to use your skills was of immeasurable value. Since returning home, my house and each room has more levels of protection.
    But it’s still pretty cool to be able to send that text. Obviously I don’t want to ever have to kill anyone. But being able to disarm almost any weapon, being fimiliarized with several types of firearms, being able to recognize and nuetralize threats, knowing that I can keep myself and my loved ones safe with the skills I learned; that’s pretty awesome. Of course I will do everything I can in the 90% that leads up to an attack to prevent it. But if it reaches that last 10%, it’s an incredibly empowering feeling to know that I can stop someone with something as simple as a t-shirt, a flashlight, stick, chair, etc.
    I’ve been doing martial arts for over thirty years. In that time I’ve seen a lot of really good stuff and a lot of garbage. One of the many things I loved about this course is that everything taught was something that not only works, but has been tested by real people in life threatening conditions. The tactics are realistic and applicable. As a result, I feel much more able to protect myself and my loved ones. Even more importantly, I feel more able to prevent these things from happening by being prepared, having a plan, and eliminating vulnerable areas. And it doesn’t hurt to hear a girl say how sexy it is to see you spin a karambit.
    Steve T. and Stephen Grosch, aka Bravo are amazing teachers. Stephen Grosch is as good at teaching tactical stuff as he is at teaching pickup. After 30 years of studying martial arts, he showed me a lot that I hadn’t known. I don’t know if he will offer this course again, but if he does, you’d be crazy not to take it. If there is a level two, I will find a way to be there.

24. As a dating coach I got good at the game, but felt something was missing from being a well-rounded man. I was told I was too nice in the past, and having some verbal ninja skills with the game helped, but I just did not have the energy of someone who could back up the “Protector of loved ones” vibe. In fact, one of my original mentors said i had to portray more badass if I wanted more success. I got by pretty well without too much badass.
    Many years ago I had some defense training by taking Dang Soo Do from a national Karate champion who was a colleague of Billy Blanks (who started the whole Tae Bo craze). Needless to say I learned some good self-defense techniques, but a lot of it just didn’t seem practical in real-life situations.
    Fast forward to me meeting Stephen Grosch/Bravo at the PUA conventions that we both presented at. His talks on defense, firearms and tactics intrigued me and made sense. I got my concealed carry permit following his advice and started paying attention to his teachings and reading “Emergency” from Neil Strauss. My training in protecting myself, my women, and my kids was beginning from a better foundation.
    Fast forward to a dinner I had with him last year and Stephen showing me what he was able to do with an LED flashlight to subdue an attacker. Just that brief lesson alone increased my abilities and awareness about ways to stay safe that I wanted even more. I was lucky to get his call that he was putting together a training in VIP Executive protection with a VIP instructor… one of the top instructors in the world… for some small group training with info never before taught to civilians. Fully trusting Stephen’s opinion on all things tactical I was an automatic yes and made plans immediately to travel to Phoenix with the few precious days off I have.
    I got there the day before and had a few drinks with the other participants. It’s apparent Stephen picked the participants meticulously because not one guy was “That guy” that asks questions just to look smart, or “That guy” that thinks they are an mma fighting expert and knows more than the instructors and wants to test them, nor was there “That guy” too timid to participate. Right off the bat the group was ready to get to business and be open books for the training at hand and I have to thank Stephen for doing a great job choosing the group.
    Day one’s talk was alone worth the price of admission. But right off the bat we went into hands-on training. The rest of the days we had lots of hands-on edged weapons, improvised weapons, and training I cannot discuss further than just being glad I was given the very opportunity to learn things only a select few get to learn.
    Stephen’s and the VIP instructor’s experience showed. No nonsense. To the point. Directly from guys who have faced death in the eye and helped many others avoid it with their proven, yet simple techniques. The whole training was full of practical, simplified advice from guys who have seen what works, and unfortunately seen what doesn’t first hand. That experience alone made our training that much more practical and yet so advanced that we rapidly learned it as well.
    I judge teachers by how well they simplify the processes they teach. The worst teachers complicate things, the best simplify. Stephen and his instructors taught the foundations and principles of protection from a mental as well as physical standpoint so well and simply that I was almost flabbergasted how simple the systems were compared to the martial arts systems i was exposed to in the past that complicated the same principles. More importantly we were also advised on what other training we could do to further enhance and refine the training we were getting.
    After 3 days, our forearms were bruised. Some of us were scraped by the edge weapons trainers we used. (Stephen is a freakin’ training equipment expert too and got us the best of the best to use during our training). But on day 4, our awareness was put to the ultimate test protecting VIP’s in a real live public location and scenario. It was quite the eye opening, yet once again practical and most importantly, helpful experience in knowing we could protect vips, our loved ones, and ourselves with our new knowledge.
    Stephen Grosch is obviously a well-respected member of the firearms and self protection world based on what he was able to arrange for us during the training. Top notch experts were available to us including Phil Roux who taught us the latest in firearms technique and knowledge. It’s no wonder how he became a top notch dating and relationship coach as well if he could garner this respect from a crowd where respect is tough to come by. I can’t thank him enough for the invite and VIP training experience. Cross your fingers he will do this again some time in the future. I will certainly be there. But if he doesn’t get training directly from Stephen as part of your journey to manhood.
    If you can arrange training with Stephen on tactical, defense, firearms, or edge weapons, it comes with my highest recommendation, you will not regret it, and I stake my reputation on it.

25. This was an unreal experience that was everything it was projected to be and beyond. We learned self-defense and weapons techniques that normally no one outside a few elite sectors in the government are trained in, direct from a VIP instructor, who has seen it all and done it all in every part of the world. I was a bit nervous going into it, because I don’t have the kind of martial arts/ weapons training that other guys had, but i’m glad I pushed myself and came, because what I came away with was badass. And it was worth the time and investment, not only to meet all the guys and be part of it, but to help Stephen Grosch achieve a long-standing dream of putting on a kickass tactical class that was pretty amazing. Plus, he supplied us with all the gear, like a tactical swag bag! That just doesn’t happen. So now I have karambits and tac knives and carabiners on my coffee table at the ready. And to top it off, we ended the training by getting to do a real world live training exercise, playing Secret Service to a pair of lovely ladies. Not to mention some other training during the week that was like bonus rounds. So, I have to say it was one of those epic burned-into-your-memory intense surreal awesome experiences of a lifetime. Thanks to Stephen Grosch, and to everyone involved and all the guys who made it worthwhile. It was a privilege to learn and train alongside you guys. And great to know that I can learn more of this from Stephen directly whenever i’m ready…

26. Stephen Grosch’s Executive Protection Seminar brings together amazing instructors who teach real world no nonsense techniques and makes them easy to learn and adaptable for students of all backgrounds. Just 3 days of training and they had the entire class up to speed on attacking with and defending against several different types of weapons. It didn’t matter the experience of the participants, they were able to adapt the techniques to our abilities.
    I’ve done martial arts for several years and have attended all manner of training seminars. The Executive Protection Seminar is the best investment I’ve made in personal protection training. Getting a chance to see the techniques in action and hear the real life scenarios they are based on was instrumental to understanding the moves and making them my own.
    Self defense is a personal responsibility and if attacked, there is no guarantee that someone will come to your rescue. If you haven’t already begun the process to prepare yourself for a situation where you may be alone in the responsibility to protect yourself or your loved ones, this class is a huge step forward in the right direction.

27. Most of you don’t know me, even though I’ve been a friend of Stephen Grosch for over seven years, though after this past week at the Executive/VIP Protection Training course that Stephen Grosch offered with Steve T I felt compelled to share my experience. For those who have not attended anything hosted by Stephen Grosch, let me emphasize that he always goes above and beyond what is expected. This past week of tactical training, that standard that Stephen Grosch has always maintained was achieved. Steve T, the lead instructor, had a way of teaching that really emphasized the lessons learned that I have not seen in my entire time in academia (we’re talking over 8 years of college). Stephen Grosch, for those not aware, was an instructor with Steve T in the past and during this particular training was an immense help in polishing our drills to perfection. Grosch definitely knows how to teach this material and I bet would teach you directly if you asked. He also did a fantastic job of screening individuals so that the class went smoothly. All the items that were provided for the course, from knives to trainers were outstanding.
    Before the class I would say I had minimal knowledge of how to protect myself if I was caught in a bad situation. One of the most important lessons was how to be situationally aware to prevent bad situations from happening in the first place. Then there was the massive amount of training on how to use a variety of weapons: deploying a folding knife from my pocket to be ready for a fight in 0.94 seconds, how to effectively fight with a karambit, using flexible weapons from sticks to fabric, and how to disarm people with a variety of weapons (from pistols to rifles and knives, to name a few). I now feel confident that if I keep practicing the drills, I will be ready to protect myself and my loved ones from threats that come. It is absolutely must-know knowledge.I have no idea if this course will ever be offered again, though if it does I would jump at the opportunity instantly. The lessons learned I know have me prepared more than your average citizen if a threat is ever encountered in this crazy world. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about my experience.

28. It was great meeting you in person for our 1-on-1 coaching and these 4 days were definitely one of the highlights of my life so far.
    It was always difficult to socialize for me and on top of that being an Indian immigrant with real thick accent made it worse.
    It’s amazing that even when you think you mastered the in-room session; going out in the field makes you realize it’s not easy.
    Opened about 40+ sets, I seriously believe it was one of the best investments I made!

35. I am a member of the forum and I can not thank you enough. I joined style life a while back when you were head coach and would often ask myself, “What would Bravo do?”” Well since then I have read about your exploits and followed your advice. I went from being 24 years old in a finance job I hated, a serious case of oneitis, having slept with three women, all the way to being 28 years old, going to a top medical school, slept with 106 women (including two of the models from “Deal or No Deal”), in a relationship with a hot, rich, blond who just took me to Asia for 4 months. My life is better in every way possible and I could not have done it without you. You gave me the skills and pushed me to go out of my comfort zone and get the things I really want in life. You are the man! Thank You!

36. I joined the forum early in 2011 after leaving a paid subscription with a well known PUA site. I’d almost lost faith in the community and had started to believe that everybody out there was looking to make money by selling people their dreams…
    Then I found this place…
    As a PX2 Alumni and a coaching call student of Bravo’s, I can honestly say that not only does he know his shit inside out, he’s also a stand up guy who actually wants to see his students succeed!
    I’m a different guy to the person that joined the Bravohood and I owe a great deal of my transformation to Bravo’s coaching and his excellent forum.
    I wish you every success in the future brother, you deserve it!
    Much love!

37. Ironically enough I found Bravo through another PU company/community. When I first talked to Bravo on a coaching call, my PU skills were a total mess and my life in general. I was all over the place! Bravo set me straight and started having me work on things that I didn’t think were a problem butt actually were huge problems.
    A lot of inner game issues were worked on which touches all aspects of a man’s life. After 5 coaching calls I was approaching and getting phone #’s more than ever! But that was just the beginning….
    Not much longer I was at Bravo’s boot camp (Project X3) with a total of 6 students and 4 coaches (You Will Not see that ratio anywhere else). Bravo holds nothing back. He is straight forward in his assessment of you and your skills and what you need to work on. Bravo gets straight to the point And doesn’t waste time because time is money and Bravo makes sure that you get more than your money’s worth.
    After 5 coaching calls and PX3 it wasn’t much longer that my 3 year dry spell was over and I was living out some of my deepest sexual fantasies.
    My first call with Bravo was in Jan. 2012 and in a 5 short months my life was truly never better. I’m the happiest I have ever been, my grades in school have never been better, my friendships are stronger, my family relationships are stronger, my social life has never been better, I’m busier than I have ever been, and I’m right on track to achieving my life and career goals.
    Bravo can show you the way but ultimately it will be up to you to decide to take what he says to heart and put in the work. Without the hardwork than nothing is going to happen.
    If you truly embrace what Bravo coaches and immerse yourself in the process of working with Bravo than you will achieve all of your goals and desires in PU and in life!

38. I really don’t know where to begin with this because Bravo has helped me so much.
    Before I started coaching with Bravo I had been in the pick up scene for a few years but had little to no success. I hadn’t been on a date in over year and had only slept with one girl.
    During my first coaching session with Bravo I number closed a girl that resulted in my first date in over a year and a half. Follow up coaching sessions resulted in more number closes, dates and hook ups.
    As a result I started to feel more confident and comfortable in who I am. Most importantly I started to actually feel successful in my dating life, the one area of my life I had always felt I could never be happy with.
    Without Bravo none of this would have been possible.
    Thank you Bravo for everything you have helped me with, not only in dating but in life.

    Reply

39. As a busy professional and masters student, I found it was hard for me to make time for pick up… until I realized that was a limiting belief and Bravo suggested how I can make this work.
    I was recently on a 3 month dry spell and went on a coaching call with Bravo. He had a good sense of where I was at, and what I needed to work on. Bravo over-delivered, super-ceded my expectations, and I left that call with A LOT more respect for him and what he was about.
    A lot of guys going into this ask about pickup – and Bravo is excellent at that. What most people don’t realize, is Bravo is teaching us a lot more than just pickup: ie. being a man, embracing strong values and attributes, being someone that people look up to when handling situations in our life, etc.
    And so re: pickup, Bravo suggested some tweaks in my game to make it more solid. Two days later, my three month dry spell was over and I had a another D2 set up with a petite girl who was a former runway model and been in movies with high profile celebs.
    Reason I’m sharing this is because my mindset, and how I am as a person, has changed dramatically because of all the effort Bravo puts in. You guys out there need to know how transformational this can be for you: IF you really want it to.
    Choice is yours.

40. Before, I got into the pick-up community, I had the occasionally hook-up, but it was by luck…. Then, I would get really needy, and loose them…..
    So, I started in the pick-up community under stylelife, no offense to anybody that likes that site, they were no help to me….I would buy a marketing tool they were selling, then they would want me to buy something else…. I wanted a quick fix, I didnt wanted to have to work at this…
    So, I found this site, started taking coaching calls and Bravo told me I was going to have to work at this, damn….I remember the first time, I talk to him, he had me write down my goals… I was thinking was does this have to do with P/U… I learned this is about creating a life, not about picking up women…. Life has definetly changed… I now get numbers with ease, have had crazy make-outs, and had sex with hot girls… Not just girls because I thought that was all I could get, but hot girls, that i never dreamed I could get….
    Alot of other things have changed… I’m doing cool stuff…. Going ziplining this month, my salary has doubled since meeting Bravo…. And, know I’m the social person, that attracts people…. I have even had friends, tell me, you used to be this quiet guy that never talked, now your the social guy….I have even been accused of being a player… Haha…. Thanks, Bravo, not only are you a good teacher, but a great friend…

41. I started my journey with another PUA company. After almost a year of these lame missions and still haven’t opened ONE set. I stumbled upon Bravo’s site.
    One coaching call and I finally saw the light. I finally opened my first sets.
    I had extreme anxiety.
    Shortly after, I started Bravo’s online program.
    So happy with his method and teaching I attended project X.
    A couple of years later…
    I have nowhere near as much anxiety as I did. I will approach an attractive female and conversate with her.
    I Met some amazing friends.
    I nailed more chicks than MOST of the people in the world.
    His online program? Wow! I met some people that thought they were pimps on POF. Not even close. I literally have over 300 pages of replies in my hotmail account (I save those and erase others lol). Totally worth.
    I honestly believe Bravo should increase the cost of his online program to at least 300 dollars.
    It you guys had any doubts about bravo and his coaching.
    Erase it. He is the real deal.
    Thanks bravo!!!

42. Its been about a year since I started doing any type of coaching with Bravo. Between 7 Coaching Calls, and attending Project X2, my life has taken a journey from being the virgin I was a year ago, to having sex with at least 1 different girl each month.
    Never before would I have guessed that I would be going out at night and receiving no less than 3 numbers, a few make-outs, and the occasional SNL. It’s not a shock to me when I receive any of these anymore….it’s a normal part of my reality and lifestyle.
    My life socially is the envy of my friends who call me the “Pussy Extraordinaire”. They now believe I was born with a “gift” similar to naturals.
    I also never thought that I would have the balls to go Direct during Day Game, and actually have success from it. One of my current F-buddies was Picked up, had a D2, then a F-Close in less than 6 days through this.
    Bravo has been a catalyst to my improvement since the very first day I spoke with him on the phone. His help with my lifestyle and Pick-Up wasn’t something that was complete after a single month or two. Even after a year, I’m remembering Bravo’s advice and am starting to become to the social artist I always dreamed of.
    I never thought I would be where I am today!
    So if you’re looking for any reason to contact Bravo for any of his coaching (Online Game, 1-on-1, Project X, Phone Coaching), hopefully my “long-term” story can persuade you to do so.
    Although I honestly think there should be a disclaimer of some sort. Because once you start coaching with him, you’ll need to start purchasing condoms in bulk to handle the amount of traffic you’ll be receiving….

    Bravo, really like the idea of couple of days of coaching.
    I’ve been into the Game for a while, been with 50 ish women.
    Just got out of a 3 year relationship and feel quite rusty.
    Sticking points are actually having the courage to het up and make
    approaches without having too much to drink – at which point your
    game is not so good. Kind of feel a bit old for going out to clubs, but would
    like to explore other avenues apart from clubs and bars.
    Interested in 2 days of night and day game, also willing to travel.

47. Had a 1 on 1 coaching with Bravo for three whole days. Those three days completely change my life, not just in terms of getting better with women. But as a whole, to help me be a complete man!!! Its just not coaching, its an adventure filled experiance.
    He helped me conquere my fears and AFC self doubts, that I had since me and my ex-fiancé brake up. Dusted off the real me, and showed and taught me how to be the awesome kick ass man that wanted to come out.
    From his coaching, I’m currently banging 2 chicks at the moment and with his teachings, I landed my dream job. Bravo 1 on 1 is a priceless experience and something that you will use and never forget for the rest of your life.
    Thanks Bravo for showing the light to me!!! I’m will always be greatful for what you did for me.

48. I attended the flashchat hosted by Shotz and NSM tonight, and it was honestly the most helpful advice I’ve ever gotten. I’ve been struggling with a few aspects of my life, and he helped sort them out and clarify what I’m doing wrong, and straighten my mindset on how I approach pickup and my life in general. I would take a Bravohood flash chat over any other pickup material i could think of.
    I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all the help and support you provide through your site. I feel like everyone here actually cares about each others’ progress and well being and isn’t just out to make a quick buck off of rehashed pickup jargon.

49. Bravo,
    I’ll start with the bullet points
    Age: 27
    Location: San Diego
    Experience: Had like 2 brief GFs in college, and a 3 year relationship during law school. Otherwise, around these I’ve been with between 85-90 girls.
    Basically, before my 3 year relationship, I was great. Didn’t know any of the PUA stuff but guess college and having some of that stuff come naturally I just did well. Anyway, since me and my GF split, my confidence has not come back and I am really off and on. I get the typical anxiety in opening, but once its opened, I am just a descent talker, so I usually have descent middle game. However, and I guess this is where the difference between my old self and new self come in, is my closing def seems to be off.
    Days of coaching: No idea, hit me up on my email so I can get an idea of how this all works and we’ll take it from there.

    I’ve had two girl friends, many years ago, but still a virgin.

    I would like to develop a very strong internal state of confidence that lasts permanently. My confidence seems more like a roller coaster of sorts. I want to be able to do successful direct approaches, and I would also like to become much better conversationally with women. I have been somewhat of a loner these past few years, so recently I’ve been putting myself out there, sparking up random conversations when I get the chance. I still get major approach anxiety when thinking about or trying to approach women. I appreciate any help you can offer, thanks.

    I sarged a hot filipina girl about 25 years old today in a coffee shop. I asked her opinion on a certain actor I had up on my computer. I asked her what she thought of him or another guy (both from the movie Social Network) for my movie. She gave her opinion. Then I ran the ring routine on her..middle finger..Dionysis..ect…then shifted into..list attributes about herself that others find attractive NOT INCLUDING HER LOOKS. ? Here, she paused and was clearly chalenged. She finally answered “Personality.” I said, that’s too vague..and only one. List three atttributes.. I could here the crickets chirping in her head..nothing. Then I did a quick Ross JEffries pattern…and as her order came up she kept backing away from me..crossing her arms..I asked if she was on FB.? She said..with an ugly face..I don’t do Facebook. or something like that. — ERic, I’m more upset with myself for this sarge than her response or lack of..plus I never close with asking girls about FB how lame? But She just aswered a bunch of questions for me about the movie Social Network..so I thought it was an appropriate close. I could tell she was lying and am for some reason pissed off at myself. THis is happening alot to me lately for some reason. Is it my vibe or what? I feel like they are rejecting me before the sarge. Please any detailed insight would make me feel so much better right now??? Thanks bro
    I was thinking I should of said to her after her not being able to list three attributes about herself that people find attractive besides her looks.. — was this: “ERRR..too slow, you failed. I guess your not as attractive as you think to hang out with..” ??

59. Bravo,
    I am interested in your 1 on 1 training. I think I would prefer to come to your area versus you coming to mine. The timing will depend on the cost associated with this type of training. I have done some coaching calls with you but I think I really need some 1 on 1 training to get me to the next level. Below are the answers to your requested questions.
    1. I am 38 years old.
    2. Live in Houston Texas.
    3. I was married for 15 years but I calculated before and after my marriage I have had sex with only 21 women.
    4. Sticking point consist of multiple items:
    .The biggest thing is being more consistent and understanding what is working when it works and why.
    .Amping up attraction during a conversation.
    .Understanding the social dynamics of the conversation in more detail.
    .Isolating and closing.
    5. A weekend of coaching would probably be good enough for our first get together.
    Thanks,
    Jason

62. I used to be the person who scanned this page, read other people’s comments, and STILL didn’t realize what Bravo was offering with his phone coaching. Before taking coaching calls with Bravo….I KIND OF had an idea how to get good at pick-up. Yet, I was still a 21-year old virgin, receiving barely any make-outs when I went out, and not living life even outside of pickup as I should be.
    I was very confident that Bravo would be the real deal, so I went for it and after 3 coaching calls with him…I’m no longer the person I used to be.
    2 weeks after doing the homework assignments, debriefing interactions, setting goals and working on ways to achieve them…I lost my virginity.
    Let me say that again…..
    After only THREE coaching calls with Bravo, he helped me lose my V-Card which I’d been trying to lose for more than 6 years. But that’s not all….have had 5 in-field make-outs within 7 days of each other…countless #closes to expand my social circle, and a new F-buddy.
    If you’ve ever played any kind of hobby or sport, you should realize how important it is to have a good coach and how much they can improve your skills in that area.
    Bravo is the coach for you. He’s the real deal…and a damn good friend.
    There are always excuses to NOT do something. I hope my story can begin to give you an excuse to improve your life with the help of Bravo.
    Cheers,

63. Bravo’s 1 on 1 coaching is epic. I did two days with him and the result, he changed my life. Before meeting up with him, I was the guy standing just watching everything happen, always wondering what it would be like to be to talk to model’s and have girls BEGGING for my attention.
    Thanks to Bravo, my dream’s are a reality in only 48 hours! I opened this group of models, and noticed how the guys near by were staring at me, shocked, wishing that they could be the ones talking to the models. Even had girls just doing anything just to have my attention. Which was a complete shock to me!
    Thank you Bravo for changing my life, I can never thank you enough what you did for me!

66. So fucking worth it.
    I am a virgin and had never made out with a girl in a club before… after a few coaching calls with bravo, I’ve made out with a new girl every time I’ve gone out in the past week, gotten numbers every time out, and was on the verge of losing my V-Card my last night out!!
    Bravo breaks down YOUR style of game and helps change to what works for YOU and what YOU want. Worth every damn penny. This is where you will find the motivation to change your LIFE.
    My life with women has totally changed within the last month.. I haven’t ever had so much fun and been so happy. Which in turn has given me the motivation to achieve goals in life OTHER than pick up.
    Thank you so much Bravo.. You have no idea how much this means to me

Even after the coaching calls, he will continue to check in on you. Talk to him, you will be motivated to do this and Bravo can show you the way.

76. Bravo knows his stuff. That’s all there is to it.
    He’s climbed the ladder to Master PUA in no time, and there is good reason for it. I was really thinking about it, and it comes down to this:
    The reason why Bravo is so talented at what he does is because of his disciplined mind, organized lifestyle, and his understanding of social dynamics. (If you’ve had the pleasure of talking to him in person, you know what I mean).
    All of his life experiences have prepared him for this role. Given his tactical training in firearms he has developed leadership skills, fearlessness, and the ability to convey and communicate ideas in terms we can all understand. If you’re reading this, he’s been in your shoes— he’s experienced your failures and he’s figured out how to turn those failures into successes.
    If you want to make an investment in your future love life, career, and beyond— this is how it is done. Get out a piece of paper, list what you want to accomplish this year and then get out your phone and call Bravo, its as simple as that.
    Take the reigns of your life: Welcome to the Bravohood.

77. I didn’t think chicks would actually fall for this PUA stuff. But, out of curiosity, I changed one of my free site profiles from my plain vanilla narrative to Bravo’s suggested language. I didn’t change anything else, because I wanted to prove to myself that this stuff doesn’t actually work.
    My old narrative would generate a message every once in a while. But, within a few hours of using Bravo’s suggestions I had more messages than I had using my old narrative in months.
    I am a converted believer!! I never thought it would work, but Bravo understands the female mind!

78. Hi Bravo
    I am getting more confident at approaching women, at supermarkets at the library etc., but after my initial opener, some small talk, I run out of inspiration and don’t know what to say. For instance I was in a shoe store yesterday where there was this beautiful girl who was trying out 4 pairs of shoes in a row and I said: the black ones fit you really well. She smiled and said thanks and we spoke for a minute. I really felt she opened up and was positive about me approaching her. So after a minute of talking, which went really well, words failed me. Her last words were that she found it difficult walking with those types of shoes.
    When leaving the store I told myself: Why didn’t you say something like, ‘well, you have to suffer for your beauty’ and follow up with something like ‘and you must suffer a lot’. But those words didn’t come to me and once again words failed. Why is it difficult to sustain MOMENTUM? On advance thank you very much.

79. I just posted this in the forum, but for those of you who aren’t in it. I thought I’d shed some light.
    “It comes down to your goals—- what do you want out of all of this?”
    I met Bravo in sunny LA last night and let me tell you— he’s the real deal. I was nervous and cold, but he made me feel like I was one of his old pals. He took time out of his busy schedule to help a guy who really needed it.
    After some rounds of sushi, Root Beer, and deconstructing theories of my own. Bravo concisely told me how to improve, and this is just the beginning.
    Furthermore, I’ll have to agree with Misterola— The Game is about balance, and what’s great is that it teaches you a lot about time management. The fundamentals of being goal orientated, motivated, and confident in your approach transcend to other facets of your life.
    If you learn from Bravo, you will learn not only how to be comfortable, confident, and interesting to women. You will define your own reality in life—- be careful with that power though.
    Great Power. Great Responsibility.

80. I consider myself graduated from the pickup community in that I feel I no longer need to put much effort into my dealings with women. I’m outside of my own head and have a solid confidence in myself that surpasses any manufactured means of simply pretending to be confident to attract a woman. This only happened because I completely disarmed my ego, absorbed everything I could about women and pickup, made very close online friends with guys doing the same thing, and constantly took chances. When I’d learned enough I dropped out of the community and focused on the more important and imminent aspects of my life – namely, my role as a film student and the career I wanted to forge.
    When you take the understanding of psychology, attraction, and seduction you’ll get through a program like this, and focus it on the other aspects of your life, putting your lust for sex or desire for a relationship on the back-burner to more noble and lasting aims, that’s when you really start to attract and succeed with women.
    And when you reach that point, that’s when you really find yourself remarkably comfortable around and successful around the same women you once stood in the corner of a room admiring, or constantly made a fool of yourself to try and impress (I was always more the latter).
    I’d like to throw my hat back in the ring to help out people going through what I went through however I can. I’m extremely busy right now (I’m a screenwriting/actor with a lot of big goals) and probably won’t have much time to help, but I’d like to make helping guys struggling with women my way of giving back to the world. It’s something that, like Bravo I’m constantly interested in and passionate about.
    Bravo and the other coaches in Stylelife helped me tremendously in my unsteady latter teenage years. I remember being completely addicted to learning pickup. I’d pay thirty times more attention to everything everyone posted, and the feedback the guys I admired and wanted to emulate gave me, than anything I was taught in school.
    All that being said, pickup used to be a big part of my life, and through my time in this world, I met a lot of guys who called themselves pickup artists. (I think it’s a silly thing to call yourself but that’s part of the fun!).
    I’ve never met anyone so singularly passionate about learning and teaching the ins and outs of pickup as BRAVO. And I’ve met Style himself. But Style’s not style. He’s Neil Strauss – a fantastic guy who I completely admire as an innovator and a writer. Style’s an incredible writer and adventurer who in many ways gave birth to this crazy pickup community I was and you guys are all a part of.
    He’s like the Jesus of pickup. (If Jesus didn’t get crucified and instead went on to consistently write and publish fantastic books.)
    Bravo’s Bravo the Baptist. If you’re just starting out, trust Bravo. Do the crazy things he tells you to do. Take his guidance to heart. Heed his word and he’ll baptize you in the waters of alpha and give you the tools you need to take your romantic life to the next level.
    Bravo cares tremendously about what he does. I saw it in his eyes when I met him. His aim in life is to help people like you. There’s a lot of scammers out there who’ll peddle a lot of bullshit to you for Scientology-crazy prices, but from what I’ve seen, Bravo’s not one of them.
    I don’t think there’s anyone out there right now who cares more or is more able to guide and quicken evolution of the struggling male to the Alpha Male!
    And no, Bravo did not ask or pay me to write this.

81. Well, this has been long over due, but I can honestly say that it is because of the things that I have learned from Bravo, that I have literally been too busy with sex, women, life, that I have forgotten to pay homeage to the one who told me how to do it the right way.
    I have had the priveledge of knowing Bravo most of my life. He was my best friends little brother and now I can proudly say, definitely one of my best friends.
    I have never had difficulty attracting women. I almost always got the woman that I wanted. But every relationship would fail the exact same way.
    I was determined that the next time I met someone that I would not go down the same path. And what happened, initially, I did the exact same thing. However, Bravo gave me some words of wisdom and got me back on the right path. and I can honestly say that I have not been happier in a very long time.
    He is not just a good PUA, but a great person and friend, as well. I can tell anyone that ever invests their time with him, that it will be well worth it bcause he legitimately loves what he does and cares about he people that he helps.
    Good luck in your new endeavor!

82. I just finished up my first round of coaching calls, and while I didn’t need convincing that Bravo and his techniques were the real deal, experiencing it first hand was awesome. Already my confidence, skills, and love life are improving by leaps and bounds. His teaching style and methods combined with an enthusiastic and positive attitude make absorbing the material easy and putting it into practice very natural.
    If you are on the fence about this stuff, skeptical about the results, or nervous about your own issues, do yourself a favor, send him and email and find out for yourself. Read through the forum and talk to men like myself and others who, because of this “PUA stuff” are experiencing the sex lives, love lives, and lives in general of their dreams.
    Bravo, keep up the good work and spreading the gospel, helping men become better men. I can’t wait to keep working.

83. When I first saw these posting, I was like “Ya right, this guy aint the real deal.” Just probably had some of his friends come on to post stuff so people will believe the hype. After one phone call with him, taking notes and using what he taught me. HOLY SHIT I WAS WRONG!!!
    With one phone call from Bravo I learn more about the art of pick up then from other “PUA’s” materials that I bought in the past year. He is the truth!!! He explains how you can use things that are blocking your game and how to use them for you advantage. Took his advice and had my best sarging session EVER!!! One set I had went so well I couldn’t believe it. He gives you the blue print on how to become a better PUA but most importantly a better person. But it’s up to the individual to use it.
    If your serious about changing your life hit it up and learn more about the game, HIT HIM UP!!!!

84. I just got done with my first coaching call with Bravo and all I can say is it is well worth the money. I spent over a year on SLA as well as years learning other methods and learned more in 1 call than several months of other programs. If you are thinking about upping your game or just getting started, I highly recommend taking some 1 on 1 lessons with Bravo.

    I put it to you, do you have an hour to change your life? I bet you do. The only thing stopping you is your own fear…

91. Just wanted to make a note here that I’ve been doing coaching calls with Bravo for the last few months and they have helped TREMENDOUSLY.
    I was an SLA member for many months and improved more over four coaching calls than I did in all those months. I was a little hesitant at first because of the price and I wasn’t sure how much the calls would help, but I followed my gut and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
    Being an asian guy from Canada, I went from doing cold approaches and struggling just to do the opener to just recently almost getting a 1 night lay in 3 hours with a decently attractive girl. It blows my mind how much better I’ve gotten in the 4 months I’ve been doing calls with Bravo. Nonetheless, I still consider myself very much a novice and believe I have a long road ahead… and I consider myself extremely lucky to have Bravo to help me along.

93. I never have trouble meeting women in person. So while I knew Bravo knew his stuff, it really didn’t apply to me.
    However, my profile has been pure fail. I had no luck with online dating, and ASSumed it was because women were messaged so frequently that my profile got lost in the sea of Plenty of Fish.
    Little did I know how little did I know…
    Bravo posted a few tips about online game. Since my online dating had been such a failure, I simply cribbed what he had on his profile. And the women came to me. It was as easy as posting a few key phrases; uploading some pictures; and checking my mail every 24 hours.
    It was almost like magic. I am not the kind of guy to develop man crushes. But, wow, he has some powerful material!
    If he produces an e-book, I’ll be first in line to buy it. I even bought him a membership at the site I read, in recognition for his help.
    His advice on online game is top-quality, and I cannot praise enough. A+ material!

    All the things Bravo has been telling me to do are coming together; putting myself together, having the right attitude on life, and giving me personalized advice. Bravo you are the shit and I feel like I finally have a fighting chance to have the life I deserve, and only after 1 month of calls!

95. that’s awesome. i agree with everything you said. when i got into pickup years ago, it was to learn a better way to hook up with girls. since then, i have learned a lot about life in general and becoming a better person. pickup is not about banging chicks, it’s about becoming a better man.
    and after spending a few years on forums and in the community, i’ve had the opportunity to get to know bravo on a little more of a personal level, and he is truly a great guy. a great pickup artist and a great teacher, but fuck pickup. he’s just an all around great guy. as busy as he is helping students, he recently took a half hour to discuss an iPad with me, and made some recommendations to me about how to better manage MY business, which has nothing to do with pickup.
    if you are a newbie who is just curious about the pickup community, an experienced PUA looking for a mentor, a pickup coach looking to hone your teaching skills, or just a guy looking for a good example to follow, bravo is truly a class act.
    let me wipe the tears from my eyes and end this thread. thanks bravo for being a great example to so many people out there.

96. To add to what I previously said. This is how I’m handling life now and I know i could have never gotten to this realization without Bravo’s intervenience in my lfe so here it goes.
    “I PROMISE MYSELF TO CHANGE MY LIFE FROM NOW ON. I WILL NOT GO BACK TO THE BEHAVIORS I USED TO HAVE. I WILL ONLY LOOK FORWAR AND FORGET THE PAST. I NOW LET GO OF ANY SELFISH/UNPURE REASON I WAS USING TO CHANGE MY LIIFE, I DO THIS BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT TO REACH THE LIGHT, THERE NEEDS TO BE PURENESS/HUMBLENESS IN MY HEART AND CHARACTER. THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED FOR WEAKNESS THOUGH, I AM THE ALPHA MALE, LIFE IS MY GAME AND I MAKE THE RULES. I WILL TRY TO INFLUENCE THE LIVES OF FRIENDS, SIBLINGS, AND OTHER LOVED ONES AS POSITIVELY AS I CAN, SPECIALLY MY FELLOW STYLELIFE CHALLENGERS FOR I KNOW THEY WILL BE THERE FOR ME AS MUCH AS I WILL BE THERE FOR THEM. AS FOR THOSE WHO TRY TO TAKE ME DOWN, I’LL BE KIND BUT FIRM FOR I KNOW THEY’RE REALLY JUST JEALOUS OF MY SWAGG. AS TO MY ENEMIES, EX’S OR OTHERS WHO HAVE HURT ME IN THE PAST, I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY BUT, “THANKS, IF IT HADN’T BEEN FOR YOU, I WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN TO WHERE I AM” … “MAYBE WE’LL BE FRIENDS SOME DAY, MAYBE NOT, BUT I HOLD NO GRUDGES, ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU.” AS TO THE FUTURE, I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT WILL BRING, BUT I KNOW IT WON’T BE GOOD IF I KEEP LIVING IN THE PAST. SO I’LL MAKE EVERY SINGLE SECOND O F THE PRESENT A BLAST!!! HOWEVER BEING RESPOSIBLE ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF TOMORROW. I PROMISE THIS, NOT TO ANY OF YOU, BUT TO ME ONLY (SINCE ONLY I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MY SUCESS); HOWEVER; I DO IT IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOU SO YOU CAN BE MY WITNESSES AND MOTIVATORS. I AM THE FUCKEN MAN!!! I WILL MAKE HISTROY!!!!
    ”
    once again, and a billion times after that, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING BRAVO. You do really deserve an aplause everytime someone mentions your name btw. lol

97. I can honestly say, if it were not for Bravo I wouldn’t be here(alive) right now.
    A couple weeks ago, after a terrible break-up with a woman who I thought was one in “6 billion” cheated on me with someone whom she knew I hated.
    I became bitter, angry, depressed and in a foolish impulse at 18 years of age I tried taking my own life thinking I had nothing to live for. I come from a past that is not as glamorous or easy to describe in words you can understand unless you’ve been there. I was so trapped by my own negativity that my mind was not looking clear at the path that was ahead of me. Like Albert Einstein once said “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” I did not see that until Bravo showed up.
    I came to him for some advice after my attempt to suicide failed, I was not expecting a response, much less one that was so quickly answered or as enlightening as his, I was just reaching out to him to tell myself I tried something but I knew I would try to finish the job (suicide) later. Bravo however, like a hero in a movie who shows up at the last minute and saves the day, saved my life with his constant advice.
    I remember the things he told me every time I’m feeling depressed because after some serious thought I’ve come to realize there is nothing more truthful and more encouraging than his words. Not only does he give really important, wise, expensive advice for free, but he seems happy to do so. Not only did he give me advice over and over again but he also related his story to mine, giving me comfort and confidence because I knew if a guy had been through something similar and succeeded so could I.
    His advice was literally life-changing. I now hold the keys to the control room of my life (which Bravo helped me find) and this time I’m breaking all the rules! I’m on my way to becoming a better man, A REAL MAN, and I had to pick some body that I would want to be like it would definitely be Bravo.
    Bravo, you are my role model, you are my savior, you are like the type of brother/father/friend that I always wanted but never had. Someone I could look up to, someone who is successful, someone who will listen, someone who is a kickass marital artist, but most importantly, someone who is not selfish and gives back to the community. I’m on the road to success thanks to you, you responded when no one else would. My only regret is not writing this words before because I was too busy feeling depressed and self-pity. Nonetheless, you are the man I want to grow up to be!! I swear, words can not express how thankful I am towards this man for saving my life!!!
    If you have any beverage near you raise it because I’m about to propose a toast. “Here’s to the Man who every Boy should grow up to be like, and the Man every Woman wants, Bravo!! Cheers!”
    P.S Style, if you ever read this, GIVE BRAO A RAISE, I don’t know how much he gets paid, but I’m pretty sure he deserves twice his salary. He’s very professional, he knows what he’s doing and he does it well, he takes his job seriously, but most of all I can tell he likes helping others!!

98. I would not be where I am at today without BRAVO. So many great things to be said about his skills. Basically, he is the big brother that everyone wishes they had. He won’t let you fail and he pushes you into points where your game needs to go. Not only in game, but in your lifestyle.

99. Before I talked to Bravo, I read the game and the 30 day challenge by Style. While both these books are great tools to learn from talking to Bravo really helped understand alot of the principles in the book better and how to apply them. You can tell by the way he explains the concepts that he is not only passionate about helping guys out, hes also been there himself. For the $200 I spent for the hour to talk to him, it was well worth it and I will be buying more time from him in the near future.

100. There are few men I could think of who I consider my role models. Bravo is one of them. He dedicated a great deal of time to develop his craft. He inspired countless men – myself included. He helped me grow as a man and social artist. For that, I will always be grateful. Bravo is the ultimate alpha male and a true master of his craft. I am honored to have him as a mentor and most importantly to have him as my friend.
     If you’re looking for the very best – you’ve come to the right place!

101. I ran across a post of Bravo’s on an internet discussion forum, where he talked about ways to stand out and get women to respond to you on internet dating sites.
     As with most things, I was pretty skeptical. I’ve heard plenty of guys claiming to be a super stud, only to turn out to be a loser dud.
     After following the discussion for several days and seeing other members replying and claiming they had used the methods he was promoting, and were now getting noticed by women, I started to get a peaked interest.
     To be completely honest though, I decided to move forward with his advice, half because I figured what the hell, anything is worth a shot, and the other half thinking I can expose this guy and those replies a probably his best friends backing him up.
     So, I diligently followed his advice, word for word. I wasn’t going to mess this up by slightly changing something and leave him a door to blame any failure on my changes.
     Up to that point, I had been on this particular dating site for a few months and had only gotten a handful of replies, and only a couple worth even replying to, using a profile I created myself, and thought was pretty good.
     I replaced this all with the suggestions Bravo had made.
     Within 3 hours I had 2 replies, both from cute looking girls!
     Oh well, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while, right?
     I went to bed that night slightly intrigued with the 2 ladies that had suddenly shown an interest in me.
     The next day I was busy and didn’t get to check online until late in the evening. Not even 24 hours had passed, and when I logged in I was shocked. I had 17 women who had send my messages! And at least 6 of them were very attractive girls that seemed to offer other great attributes, like shared interests, good humor, and similar goals.
     I was blown away. Consider me a skeptic no more.
     I sent my profile to Bravo and he suggested a few more tweaks for me to make. I can’t wait to see how they work out. If it works as well as his initial help did, I’m going to have to forgo some of my personal activities, so that I have more time for dating.
     Bravo is the real deal. I am a skeptic no more.

103. MY GOD, THIS BRAVO
     Its so rarely to have someone break down anything so simple and have it stick forever. When other people teach me something, its like a bruise, stays for awhile and then disappears. Bravo leaves scars, I remember it…period.
     Also, it so refreshing to see someone that is passionate about their craft, loves to spread their knowledge, and genuinely WANTS TO HELP people that want to improve themselves.
     Not only that, he backs it up. He isn’t the fat coach telling his kids to run laps and cant do it himself to save his life. He proves that what he is teaching you works in the field. Master of the Social Arts.
     He is the Bee’s knees, arms, and the legs. He’s the cat’s meow. He is Fedor’s sweater. My god, this Bravo.

105. Gold! Pure Gold! Bravo’s advice has lead directly to a dramatic increase in my success rates, especially with online game. I’ve taken his methods and made them my own and I’m a completely different guy out there now, its all instinctual. My story was similar to his, recently divorced, needed some help, was ready to grow and he was able to give me the extra juice I needed to take it to the next level.
     Listen to Bravo, he knows his game and the results are proven!

106. Bravo is the real deal. I’ve learned so much over the past few years from his mentoring on the forums, and I wouldn’t have had the success with my game that I do if not for him. In addition, I’ve been fortunate enough to have some personal interactions with Bravo, and I can tell you that he is everything he’s cracked up to be, and he is very passionate about sharing his knowledge with others, and helping them achieve success.
     What you see is what you get with Bravo, and he is a great example of what a true pickup artist is.

107. The least I can do in return for all that Bravo has done for me is post a comment on his blog to reaffirm to everyone who reads it just how awesome he is.
     During my time as a student with the Stylelife Academy, Bravo’s personal story and teachings were among the first of the coaches to truly standout and affect me in a dramatically positive way and not because I’ve necessarily gone through everything he’s gone through. Rather, his honesty & passion for both the social arts and teaching those arts to improve the lives of the men (and women) around him connected with me and helped me believe that real change for my life was possible.
     Here’s an excerpt from a message I sent him a while back to illustrate the type of change I am talking about:
     “Life’s great here man – I feel like I’m FINALLY getting my shit in order after a crazy couple of years. Startin up a conservative political and cultural blog (I’ll send you the link when it’s up), producin’ a new album, just started training military recruits with our MMA team, and I’m doin’ freelance work – not to mention I got to just bury head in a cool girls huge tits last night for the better part of 5 hours.
     You helped me change my life man.”
     That is an example of my new life, thanks most definitely in part to Bravo. Bravo is an inspiration, not by his words alone, but by his actions and the life he lives. He is his own proof.

108. hi bravo,
     I’m Johnny Vice from Brazil, just wanted you to know that the 3 months since I got into pickup have been the greatest adventure of my life.I got two fuck buddies, a new sex life and right now I’m leaving home to play poker with my new friends, some of the most incredible party promoters of rio. Also, In the forums I met Helio, who is the best wing ever. Without his help I wouldn’t achieve any of my goals, but with my brother by my side I can go out everynght and still keep good grades at college. I really think that you guys don’t teach men how to pick up women. You teach men how to become better men. PU is a consequence. I must tell you, the first weeks of my divorce were dramatic. But now I’m a man full of self-confidence, happy with my current status, but always trying to improve it. I just wanted you and to know a story of how you showed me the path I needed to walk to change my life. You probably heard and read all that things before lots of times, but I needed to do this.
     Thank you Bravo, and my regards.
     You guys surel got yourselves a place in heaven.
     Truly to the bone, JV

109. I have never known someone so genuine that amongst the masses of work, emails, teaching and living that they still have time to drop you a line to see how you are doing. BRAVO is more than just an inspiration and certainly more than just a legend in the Pickup community – to me he is a friend. A careful whisper in my ear when i need guidance and a real boost of energy on my journey as a PUA. Stick close to this guy people; he’s really gonna take you places you’ve never dreamed possible 😉

110. I learned more from you in 4 phone calls than I did with (personal coaching with – name removed – a very popular “Dating Coach” ) over 6 months. Most importantly, the indirect openers I learned from him never showed the approach anxiety I had until you insisted on me doing direct openers.

     I’ve learned more from one evening with Bravo than I’ve learned from 3-day boot-camps with MM and RSD.
     Bravo’s coaching is precisely tailored to your personality and your background.
     What he gives you, works for you, guaranteed!

112. Bravo kicks some serious ass!
     This man has been one of the most positive influences in my life. He
     is the man among all the men I have met, a true leader, a loyal
     friend, and a genuine role-model. He is so authentic that it’s almost
     intimidating to be around him, and yet, he is so humble and caring
     that you feel like he is being your big-brother.
     His coaching got from me a long way from where I was when I met him.
     When I met him, I was full of limiting beliefs, and almost negative
     game. Now I am with a great girl, having awesome relationship, and
     great social circle.
     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. His social
     intelligence marvels me. Just one little feedback from him has
     changed my entire thought-process on social situations. Anyone who
     has open mind and open heart is guaranteed to get amazing results if
     coached by Bravo.
     He doesn’t believe in beating around the bush. He doesn’t believe in
     endless-DHV’ing of himself. As a coach, he sees your true potential
     and helps you get there no matter fucking what. I know guys who have
     been on major TV shows, and they don’t get as much respect as Bravo
     gets when he goes out to the local venues.
     I’ve been to RSD*, Mystery-method** (before Venusians Arts took

     *RSD’s bootcam was leaded by Christoph and Geoff, they are great guys.
     I learned a lot about being confident from them, but I just think
     they didn’t give me the kind of feedback I needed to accelerate my
     game. Bravo gets gold-points for his super-sharp social intelligence.
     **MM, I was out with Matador, Dante and LBD. These guys are awesome
     too, and I learned a lot about how to do pick-up when you are in
     VIP-section and have your own booth. But they are too stuck in there
     own ways and didn’t give me the ‘out-of-the-box’ feedback I needed to
     eliminate my sticking points. Bravo gets golden points for giving me
     ‘out-of-the-box’ feedback.

113. Sensei Bravo,
     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 know that I am on the right path and that someday soon, I will be a great pua (and human being too, LOL). As is my style, when I attain that Jedi level, I hope to help others as I was onced helped. And you can be absolutely sure that on day I will tell them all, I am here, because Bravo was one of my teachers.
     You sir, are the shit.
