Now if you had told me even a day before PX3 I would be yelling this in public I would have told you you are insane... but as I said every journey begins with one step.
This is my journey...
After 2 flights , 8 hours of travel and 3 timezones later I step off the plane and am finally here. I am going to PX3 , it's no longer abstract it's here and now. I check in and meet the guys soon after.
The six are: Big Jeffrey , Nomad , Cupid , Riddler , Kaboom and Riddex
It is amazing how soon we all form a bond with one another. I could already tell Bravo selected a fine group to work with. We all get settled because it's non stop once PX begins.
We all grab breakfast and head up to meet Bravo and the coaches. I knock on the door and it opens and there he is , the man you read about and wish you could emulate. Bravo himself
He extends his hand and smiles "It's good to see you brother " and we hug. My first impression is wow , he truly is incredibly down to earth.
We all get introduced to the team Farmer , Maestro , Smoothcall and Boom is helping out as well.
Everybody goes in and we get settled we have a lot to cover so lets get cracking.
We sit down and we start learning , I have downloaded Mystery Method and also annihilation method so I have seen seminars and have an idea of how they work. PX is hands down the best of them all.
Bravo begins with openers, transitions, dhv's and we are watching the master in action and it is a sight to behold. He goes so in depth yet manages to keep it simple for you to understand. Truly amazing.
We do two solid hours of coaching before our guest speaker arrives. That guest speaker is none other than Steve P.
Yes you read that right I didn't make a typo THE Steve P is dropping by to speak to us and perform duel induction hypnosis. For those of you who know who Steve P is , enough said.
For those who don't , he is a legend in the community and doesn't speak at any seminar , he is doing this as a favor to Bravo. Unbelievable.
After we listen to Steve P speak he has us gather around and perform the duel induction hypnosis. I was blown away at the effect it had and know everyone else was. The state of relaxation I reached was beyond anything I have experienced before.
Once we finish we all thank Steve for coming to speak to us. We all take a small break and order lunch. Lunch is on Bravo , everything from the beginning to the end is taken care of. It truly is unbelievable.
We get back to work and Bravo continues where he was and demonstrates the power of dhvs when performed correctly. He then performs some magic tricks which blew me away. I was in awe watching him perform. I can't go into specifics because what happens at PX3 stays at PX3 but needless to say he is the real deal. After having my mind bent watching the magic tricks we continue on with some more dhv routines. Not only does he explain the nuts and bolts he helps put it in perspective. He had us do an exercise to help us visualize the possible negatives outcomes (neither of which are that bad)and the possible good outcomes. I reached 16.
Once this is done Bravo hands us each a deck of cards so we can practice and get ready to use in the field. Once this is done Farmer is up and he shows us some tarot card reading and shows us how and why it works. He performs a couple and after breaks down what he was doing and relates it to the notes we took earlier tying everything together. Farmer then hands us all a deck of tarot cards for us to take in field.
Where else will you have instructors give you the materials to go in field and also take home ? It's unheard of.
By this time we have been going hard for 10 hours with only bathroom breaks in between. It's time to shower and get changed and grab some dinner. We get to the restaurant and order. During dinner we all get to ask coaches questions and have them give us pointers. It really is non stop. During dinner I was lucky enough to sit beside Bravo. We chat a bit and he pulls no punches. He tells me you need to raise your energy. Now smile , I smile , no a real smile. Again , no I want to believe it's real so he makes me laugh and I show a real smile. He says " there , that is what I'm talking about."
He has me demonstrate five oceans opener. I do and he picks up on everything I do right and wrong. he has me do this at least a dozen times before I get it right. Once I do he asks me , do you see the difference ? Yes I do. I could totally see how much my energy level was holding me back. After 5 minutes with Bravo he showed me a major sticking point that would have taken me months to figure out on my own. While eating dinner I am with Kaboom and Farmer and we talk about goals and game plans. Farmer is there to help me out and was instrumental in my development. He was there to set me straight and tell me to own it. I am a big guy and have always been aware of the fact. Farmer has a simple philosophy. Own it. He then gave me some advice about being comfortable in my skin.
Dinner is done and it's game on. I am trying to get into that state on mind. I noticed a 2 set during dinner and thought damn she is cute , hopefully she is here after dinner. I get up and sonofa... kaboom is over there already. Awesome , looks like it's game on everybody. We all divide into different areas and I am with farmer. He points out a 2 set on a bench , go open that set.
Me: I dunno..
Farmer: Just go open
so I head over and open with five oceans. It goes nowhere and I eject. It's amazing how after one open set your frame of mind changes. We head inside to discuss the interaction. Farmer and smoothcall break down what happened and Smoothcall gives me some pointers on body language. We head out on the other side and across the bar is a 2 set. Farmer tells me to go in so I go. It was about 20 feet away and I am feeling that tension and need to break it so I remember something Farmer said to help me laugh and get in a positive frame of mind. For the PX alum I have two words. DA BEARS.
It pops into my head and I start to laugh to myself and have a natural smile. I open with five oceans and the 2 are trying to figure it out. I was so focused on getting the opener out with good energy and body language that I forgot what to stack with. Lesson learned. They can't get all five and the interaction fizzles out and I eject.
After this we break it down and Farmer tells me my energy level was so much better already. We meet up with some other guys and at this point (10 min later) the 2 set comes over and apolgizes for not being able to help they have been drinking. Bravo doesn't know I opened them and says what was that about , me not cluing in just respond " oh , I opened them and they couldn't get all 5 oceans so they apolgized for not being able to help". Bravo explains to me they just reopened me , go talk to them. I am unsure what to say , it doesn't matter they are interested just go. So I head back over and start talking to them again. One was a cute little brunette and the other was a trainwreck bitch blonde. I try to block the obsticle while working the target. I lock in and things are looking good. After 5 min (felt like 30) Bravo himself comes over to wing! Where else would the lead instructor wing you in set. Once Bravo comes the whole energy level changes , I introduce Bravo and he disarms the cockblock. I begin with the target and things are going nicely. I don't remember everything word for word but something about her working a ton in school and I replied " all work and no play makes Marissa a dull girl" with a playful smile. She replies oh I still find time to play then she initates kino and we start to dance. Bravo is still disarming the obsticle and I isolate the target. I should have #closed or kclosed but lesson learned. After the breakdown Bravo , Smoothcall and others tell me she was all mine , don't be afraid to pull the trigger.
We then head to another venue and Bravo takes me aside. He tells me great job , her cousin was a total bitch. I could have taken it further , lets build on that. We all head to a louder venue and its a different environment. I open a few sets but nothing hooks. Later on we go to another pub with a more laid back atmosphere. I open some sets but nothing is hooking and I am getting discouraged. I take a breather and chill with Farmer , he helps me process everything and gets me back on my feet. You won't fix everything in one night , so just focus on one thing at a time. Everyone is exhausted and it's getting late. No one could blame of for heading back for a good nights sleep... Fuck that we head to one more club and practice some more. Throughout the night I saw everyone in set and it really helped seeing the guys plowing through and made me wanna continue on. I opened some sets and it just wasn't working. I decided to go direct which is something I never do. I opened a few girls going direct and was pleased to learn nothing bad happened. I didn't close any of them but I was able to get outside my comfort zone and do something I never thought I could. It's 2 am and time to head back. We debrief and discuss the night.
I tell the story about the cute brunette I could have at least kclosed and Bravo breaks down what he saw and gives pointers for future reference. We all go through our night and sets. Some guys had different goals and points to work on so we discuss those in detail on where to tomorrow.
It's now about 3:30am and we have been going non stop since 9 am. That is 18 hours straight , crazy.
We get a few hours of sleep and it's time to do it all over again. We all get in and we begin by Smoothcall teaches us some tantric exercises. It was about an hour long and once it was over I was amazed at the level of relaxation I reached. I had 3 hours of sleep and felt ready to tackle the world.
We then continue on where we left off and learn even more dhvs , how to stack and transition, Steering the conversation. We then have farmer teach us SNL routines and how to be able to pull from the field and bring them home. I can't go into specifics but needless to say, nothing but quality and very easy to understand and apply. After another intense 10+hour session it's time to get ready and head out in field. We head to an Irish bar and grab dinner. During dinner I don't know what came over me but I started to really get in my head. Once we finished everyone seemed to go off into sets. I felt that awful feeling of social anxiety. Normally this is where I head to the bar and grab a few shots to help. No crutches this weekend so I head to the bathroom to take a breather. It's at this moment I start to question whether Bravo made a mistake selecting me. I am frozen with so much anxiety. I head out and go to the patio where everyone is. I am just standing there and Bravo sees me. He comes over and asks me how it's going. I just blurt out , no good. So he takes me aside and just asks me whats going on. I am not in a good head space so Bravo just takes it easy and talks me through it all. The guys decide to check out another place since it's slow going here. Bravo tells them we will catch up to them.
Bravo and I start to walk and talk and I confess I am not doing well , totally in my head and am having trouble with it all. We walk and Bravo doesn't lecture me but just gives me solid advice on pick up , limiting beliefs and life in general. He then pinpoints my energy level is like a black hole to those around me and forces me to smile. He gets me to actually laugh and smile and challanges me to smile the whole way to the next place. Every so often turning quickly to make sure I am complying. He has an uncanny ability to pick out the problem , mimic it back to you so you see what it looks like from other peoples
perspectives and how to fix it. We meet up with everyone and I feel more confident. I don't remember but I opened close to 10 sets. Some went better then others but nothing was hooking. I was looking for some coaches and Bravo again sees me , asks hows it going ? Better I respond. He tells me to just take it slow for now ease back into it. He gives me an easy mission. Just give a girl a compliment and keep going. He points out a girl to do it with. " Go grab a water and come back , on the way compliment her and keep going".
I head off and get a drink , as I'm waiting I open a 2 set and it goes alright I ended up ejecting. Before we leave the place I look for everyone , I see the same 2 set and decide fuck it , we're going anyway. I tell them they are cool and we should hangout sometime before I fly out. They both tell me they have boyfriends so I replied with a smile. "I'm not here for a long time , just a good time , so let's have a good time." They both laugh but I can tell it's a lost cause , I say goodnight and head out.
We all leave and Bravo asks how I am compared to before. I am better , he tells me hes proud of me pushing on even though I was feeling anxious. He then gives me more pointers from the 2 set that I could do in the future. We head back and Bravo asks more about me and tells me I need to embrace the change. He shows me a line in the sidewalk and says this is the line. It's an exercise he learned from Steve P. He tells me to step into it and say with conviction. " I am Jeff and I rock out with my cock out ". I look at him like , you gotta be kidding. He is anything but. I know he is serious so I do it. No , do it again. I do , no like you mean it. I must have done it a dozen times before it was acceptable. Finally he says yes , like that. I think to myself , thank god , that was tough. It doesn't end there , oh no , that would be too easy. He walks further and tells me to do it again so he can hear it. He walks even further and I yell louder. He then says one more as loud as I can. I start to waiver and he tells me , make me believe it or you have to give me 20 pushups. I tell him I don't think I could do 20 pushups. Well we aren't leaving here until you do. Oh shit , he is serious and I better step up. So I step into and yell " I am Jeff and I rock out with my cock out !". It was one of the most liberating feelings I have experienced. We go to meet the group and I feel like a changed person , a weight has been lifted off me. We are almost there when Bravo stops me. In the middle of a sidewalk in a crowded bar district he looks at me and smiles. "I want you to tell everyone across the street there , who you are and what you do". Fuck it , here goes. So I yell " I am Jeff and I rock out with my cock out!" to everyone across the street. I can do that I can do anything.
We get to the bar and Bravo has me tell everyone what he made me do. We all laugh and have a great time. At the beginning of the night I was anxious and normally would have went home. After having Bravo and the coaches take 5 -10 minutes to put it in perspective it was all the difference. I got there and opened set after set. I opened one set and got stuck talking to the guy , I asked who he was with and he introduced me to his one friend a gorgeous brunette. I shook her hand and all I heard was "ow!" I sometimes forget how big I am and how strong I can be. It was a funny awkward moment. I went back and told some of the guys and Bravo laughs and tells me he heard it from 15 feet away. We all chuckle and compare grip strength. Later on in the night Cupid is there and Bravo asks , how many sets have you opened. he responds 12 , Bravo replies , BigJeffrey has 15 , are you gonna let him beat you. Cupid says hell no and goes off. It was at that point I realized how much we all can help and push each other. It truly was a case of rising tides raise all ships. Seeing everyone else kick ass in field motivated me to do the same. As we were standing there Bravo sees a 2 set and says Holy Mo... before he completes his sentence I am off to steal her out from under Cupid hands , sorry Cupid
It's getting late so we all bounce to one more club and it's kinda dead. We head downstairs to a piano bar and we all open a few sets. Kaboom ends up opening three waitresses and isolated the one he wants. Working some kino and is in set for what seems like 30 min , job well done brother. As the night winds down we all gather around and sing along with the piano player and sing along. A great bonding experience with my PX brothers.
It's now sunday and we wake up early. It's time for some day game with Maestro. We go through the differences of night/day game and different scenarios. He breaks down different venues that can be used and routines that work well in daytime. It is over an hour and very thorough. We then head off to the mall for fashion and day game practice. I split off with Cupid and Maestro to practice daygame. I open some sets and it doesn't go well at all. Maestro then gives both Cupid and I pointers on where we went wrong and how to fix it. Maestro then demonstrates the difference by opening a hired gun in a clothing store. After 5 seconds you can see she is totally into him. He shows how easy it can be with some practice. He explains again my energy is an issue so focus on fixing that. Cupid and I both go in and open HG's. Cupid has his hooked and probably could have went for the #close. I open my HG with cashmere sweater and instanly notice positive feedback because of my improved energy. We chat and I notice her tattoo ,she just had it done , I initate light Kino and then she says " It took me forever for my dad to sign off on it". A red flag pops up and I ask how old she is. She's 17. Jesus , that's not what I need lol so I politely eject. We leave and we all have a good laugh and HBjailbait. Note to self , always be extra cautious when doing daygame in mall.
We walk around some more and open a few more sets. Just after 5 sets in the day with Maestro's instruction I noticed a vast improvement in results. He is Legit.
We head back to the hotel to unwind and get ready for dinner. We go to a nice restaurant and all order and get some long awaited and much deserved beers. We all cheers and PX is offically over. Bravo and coaches are officially off the clock. Normally that would be the end of it but not these guys. They continue to answer questions long after PX has ended. During dinner we get a surprise. Steve P is back and is coming tonight for a 2nd bonus session. (Be jealous , be very jealous). Steve joins us and wastes no time. The waitress comes over and he has her hooked. He does a handwriting analysis routine and has her in the palm of his hand. I have never seen someone escalate so sexually so fast with so much positive feedback. It was an amazing experience to behold. After dinner we head back to the hotel and Steve P answers our questions and performs another duel induction hypnosis. It was nothing short of phenominal. Steve P and Dan (his hypnosis partner) head off and it's about 12:30 am. For those keeping score Bravo, Farmer , Maestro have been off the clock for 4 hours at the point. The coaches get their bags and head down. We all head down to say goodbye and thank them for all they did. I don't know if they realize how much they did for me and the other guys. We all shake hands and hug goodbye, it's a bittersweet moment.
I tried to write as much as I could but there so many parts I know I left out unfortunately.
For those who were there...
-Please... tell me more
-Quit being fat
-Bravo is awesome
-I don't know why the fat chick got so mad, I negged her as soon as I opened
the set
-Da Bears
- Foxy browns
jailbait game or as I like to call it , long term planning.
To the rest of the Bravohood , I tried to capture the essence of how amazing this weekend was but I can not come close to doing so. If you have the chance to go , you owe it to yourself to do so.
In closing , I would like to thank everyone involved in PX3 students and coaches alike. You all helped enrich my experience in one way or another and for that I thank you.
