Adam knows his stuff for sure, but this style of game is particular... just as Triumvirate described. It's based on building social value. Also, beware that Adam himself doesn't teach the bootcamps, at least from what I've heard, his assistants do it. And from what I hear, the assistants aren't that good.
I agree that you need to find instructors that match your style. I personally think RSD is the best way to learn pick-up because they offer an entire community for support. One bootcamp won't change your game much at all. It's all about the follow-through. You need to be opening 1000's of sets to build the reference experiences to internalize things, and RSD is the only pick-up company out there that offers support throughout this process. They also focus more on inner game, which is a better way to learn game in my opinion. I haven't heard of anyone getting good at game from any other pick-up company except RSD. RSD is a community of guys that take action. They teach normal folks how to game. It's not Mystery Method or some esoteric social-value bullshit which is impractical for ordinary folks. RSD will also push you to improve yourself in many other ways beyond pick-up. The value I've gotten from RSD is incalculable. I've taken their Bootcamp, HotSeat, FreeTour, and met many guys off the RSD forums and the seen the instructors in-field. I will be taking more HotSeats and FreeTours. I also recommend watching all of the RSD products and video blogs. It's the best source of game theory I've encountered, and I've studied a good amount of other company's stuff.
You work for them don't you?
