Nampa Meisters of Shonan Beach 3: Mandrake Fights Back

On any given August Sunday, there are at least three pick up trainers and a dozen students working the beaches of Yuigahama, Hayama, Onjuku, Zushi and Enoshima. They annoy many women who want to meet the cool guys who are naturals with women. They also annoy the normal men as they make them realize that they need to take an expensive course by a professional pick up artist, if they ever want to get laid by one of the hot pieces of ass that are on the beach. Critics of the pick up artists on the beach are like guys who know the way but can't drive the car.

 

 

Outside every sexy girl, there is a creepy man trying to get in.

 

The Japanese pick up industry is overrun with tons of self proclaimed masters, who claim to be able to teach single men how to meet and be successful with sexy women.  They charge hundreds of thousands of yen for their questionable products, which include books and high tech, in-person bootcamps, some using hidden cameras and earpieces, where they claim they will teach even the most pathetic misfit to be a Don Juan in a few days. Much of the advice given by these masters is about as useful as the pope's testicles.

Give a PUA a free hand and he'll rub it all over you.

Critics of these men are like eunuchs at a gang bag. A PUA who survives a fierce day in the sun, opening sets and running game on the pick up paradise, Shonan beach, would describe his experiences differently than someone at home who sees the process on a web site. The PUA might see his participation as part of a day's work, while the observer might feel horrified, appalled or grief stricken at the events that have transpired. Their thoughts, feelings and perspective of the event would be vastly different than those actually involved.

Mandrake considers teaching game his passion. 

 

 

My new best friend, PUA trainer Shizuo “Mandrake” Yokoyama (32) of Kawasaki works days as a delivery driver. He's been studying pick up for 7 years and is now the newest trainer on the scene (since June 2013).


"There is no limit and no end to our learning, and my goal is not simply to drain my sack as much as possible, but to have a fulfilling life full of fun and rewarding relationships."


 Besides wearing a bikini, the first thing I noticed was his ease and enthusiasm to connect with all the people around him. He didn’t flaunt his pick up skills or talk himself up, he simply does it. He is an outspoken critic of other PUAs working the beach this summer. He has some strong feelings about one of them in particular.

“Just look at Mori Masakazu sensei. That piece of shit calls himself 'Stinger'.  Besides the fact that he looks like a fat bastard who combs his hair with an egg beater, you have to ask yourself whether or not he’s really telling you anything you can’t figure out by yourself. He uses big, confusing words like 'personality matrixes', 'AMOGing', and 'irreverence lens' to describe a simple concepts like 'confidence is sexy', but what does he really have to say? 

If he developed this magic method to get any whore you want 10 years ago or more, as he might have you believe, what’s the need for his new improved version every year? For the past few summers he holds his lame classes in Fujisawa and does the fieldwork at Enoshima beach. Some of his students swear by his dubious methods and even take the course 2 or 3 times a year.”

 

                                 Critics say Stinger's students come off as awkward and creepy.

 

The slit eyed “Mandrake” took Stinger's expensive course in Tokyo in 2010 and has since started his own class- for 1/4 of Stinger's price. Mandrake's innovative system is much more physical and effective than Stinger's. Naive and young students are like putty in Stinger's clammy hands. Mandrake feels that Stinger molds them into loyal cheerleaders who don't think twice about stabbing other PUAs in the back. Mandrake sees himself as a modern day Casanova, he considers Japanese women his true teachers in the art of seduction.

It's tough to act like an Alpha male with all these badass tattooed construction workers on the scene.

Mandrake was outraged by Stinger's course and pricing.

“The way overpriced 3 day class was just a series of lectures by Stinger and 'fieldwork'. The lectures were basically hours of him talking about his conquests all over the world. Oh, the class was held in a tiny, smelly upstairs storeroom of his friend's kyabakura, which I’m sure he got for free. No food or drink was included in the 300,000 yen course price.  There were 8 of us and we had to go to 7-11 to buy drinks and use the toilet. Oh, we also had to buy his workbook and updated text for 23,000.

 He projected about 25 pictures of hot women he claims he used to date. For each picture, he'd tell some long winded, graphic story of how he picked her up and fucked her, he'd get all into it with body language and what not, kind of gross cause he's an old fat guy. But he's only in a few of the shots so we have no way of knowing if he really dated any of them. I think a lot of the pics we saw were some idols he met at events and paid for a photo. He really loves the sound of his own voice and we were a captive audience. This was the entire first day of the class. I thought that motherfucker would never stop yapping."

 

The Kamakura scene is much more user friendly and far less threatening- but the women are purer and less open to casual sex. 

 

 

 

Mandrake has nothing nice to say about his former sensei and one of the biggest names on the Japanese nampa scene. 

"That fucking guy can really spin a yarn too. He also takes breaks like every 30-40 minutes for a cigarette and the toilet- we're not allowed to talk to him during breaks either. The rest of it was basically a PowerPoint regurgitation of shit that came from that expensive self- published book he was selling at the time. The fieldwork consisted of going out on the street, Shibuya 109 or outside Shibyua station and having Stinger instruct the students by saying 'Go talk to that one!' As this fieldwork progressed, he'd add some senseless challenge, like 'Go talk her but get her email her within 3 minutes, then moonwalk and try on her sunglasses.' He used some shitty 1985 earpiece thing to talk us through it, but it was useless cause he couldn't hear what the girls were saying anyway.

 

These scumbags pretending to be white knights, are actually Stinger trained sneaky PUAs looking for an easy lay.

I took an unpaid Friday off and the whole thing was of absolutely no value. But what really disturbed me is he would often choose girls that are were far too young as targets, and even select what appeared to be 13 year old girls walking down the street or shopping with their mothers, who were also way younger than Stinger. The cops came once cause of a complaint and he was about as useful in that crisis as a sheep. If he wasn’t selecting underage girls he’d often pick out totally ugly girls from the countryside as targets. If one of us complained about the age or attractiveness of the girl he would say some shit like 'it’s just for practice, do it!' What a sick bitch he is.

 

 

 

 

These two have the attention span of a lightning bolt.

 

 

 

He'd always repeat senseless crap over and over, like 'Man up! Get over your fears!' or some bullshit coach talk like that. One older retired guy in my class refused to do it, which seemed to really piss Stinger off because it challenged his authority in front of his pathetic students. By this point I knew we were not going to get what we had paid for. 

Mandrake's foreign student behind him is really ramping up the physical escalation- much to his delight!

 

For me, the old guy in our class challenging him and refusing to follow his fieldwork commands was the best part of the class. I actually felt kinda bad for that old, scandalous Stinger. The old creep was a host for over 25 years. He has no idea what hot, young women want. Back when he was the top host, his customers were older broads with money-  a totally different mindset we're working with on the beaches. I know what works. I have my students get physical quickly. I don't want to waste time on girls that play hard to get. Play to hard to get with me and you might not get.

This sexy young lady is exhausted after hearing the same routines over and over all day, she just wants to be left alone.  

 

 

 

 The most important thing I learned from the whole class was that the famous playboy, Stinger had no game whatsoever, or at least none that he showed to the class. He never once demonstrated any skills. Stinger claims he is already a god with women, why not just keep doing it the first way he taught us when he started out? That was when I realized I could do this better and was going to start my own system and company based on what I learned NOT to do from his fat ass."

"My students actually get real and results and actual dates with my patented peacocking and physical escalation system."

  Most consider Stinger as the original “breakout artist” of the Japanese seduction community. While his students have been accused of harassment, stalking and molestations on the beach, his true crime had been to prey on individuals in desperate need of pussy. Could it be because Stinger's shitty method never really worked?

  If it does work, it only works for a short period of time, until his followers to have start going out and repeating the lame lines and routines verbatim- to the point that every single thing with tits on the beach knows them by heart? I’d also say that his whole thing with backwards engineering sounds suspiciously like he learns his new lines and routines from his students then writes new versions of his bullshit and sells it for crazy prices and says they're his. He's done this every year since 2002. He may look and talk like a scam artist, but don't let that fool you. He really is a scam artist.

The Shonan scene is quite frightening for the untrained PUA.
  

Mandrake's system for the aspiring PUA on a budget relies heavily on wingmen to help with dividing and conquering. He also is into extreme peacocking- such as actually wearing a woman's bikini on the beach and massive physical escalation within 1 minute of meeting.  For ordinary men of modest means, his prices and fluency in English mean his classes are open to foreigners and other low rollers.

Mandrake was in the company of hot chicks all day. His class behind him is inspired.

Both Stinger and Mandrake's classes do the whole ‘projecting Alpha’ pose thing, mumble and act cool. Not surprisingly, they stop projecting the Alpha male thing as soon as a real Alpha or tattooed tough appears. I never seen Stinger or his students succeed with any women, and the only ones actually giving them any notice are the staff at the bars or shops. Mandrake's students at least are only paying 50,000 for the course and his original materials. His students idolize him, while AMOGs consider him their worst enemy. Mandrake is not at all about the money – he simply gets sexy gals and enjoys unprotected anal sex.

Mandrake's budget conscious students are winners in the competitive Shonan PUA game.

After talking to Mandrake, I've realized that Morikazu "Stinger" Mori is a fake, a phoney and a fraud. To call Stinger sleazy and unscrupulous would be an insult to sleazy and unscrupulous people. Stinger sensei is behind much of the prejudice against single men that goes on in many of our beaches, train stations and shopping malls. It isn't important whether you agree with every detail that Mandrake presented. What matters is that you begin to realize that Stinger's ideological colors may have changed over the years since he was a host. 

 

Mandrake's foreign students often don't know the fine line between rapid escalation and being lecherous.
 

 

 Nevertheless, his core principle has remained the same: to level filth and slime at everyone opposed to his game.  I would like to end on a heartfelt note. The online dis-inhibition effect perfectly explains why Stinger is so keen to tell everyone that an open party with unlimited access to drugs and alcohol can't possibly outgrow the host's ability to manage the crowd.

All this talking to Mandrake made me hungry. I gotta go to Rocco's and treat myself to a slice.
