Who is the Asian Playboy?

Our leader and founder, JT Tran (better known as JT the Asian Playboy), is universally regarded as the World's Best Asian Pickup Artist, and the toughest instructor in the industry. He is the ORIGINATOR of the often-imitated, but never duplicated "Holistic" method of Pick-Up, and the first dating guru to EVER have a uniform curriculum. He has arguably taught more minority students than ANY OTHER instructor in the world and is the UNDISPUTED master of interracial dating.

Once unable to even breathe around women, Tran is now worshipped for his unmatchable and versatile master of both DIRECT and INDIRECT Game, Social Circle Game and unprecedented Kino Escalation & Dominance. Moreover, he possesses the SUPERNATURAL ability to train even the most the hopeless students that most other pickup companies turn away.

Likened to Tom Cruise in the pages of the Nichi Bei Times, Tran's specializes in taking Asian men with absolutely NO social skills - men who have rarely left their computers, let alone spoken to a women -and helping them romantically connect with beautiful women.

His methods to winning over women can be broken down into easy-to-understand steps that have allowed thousands of men to reach the sexual freedom of choice they have always desired. The ABCs of Attraction will destroy any anxiety that comes from talking to a woman, while building a man's self-confidence and natural charisma.

The ABCs concepts are flexible to any situation or method of pickup, and are pre-packaged as a simple mnemonic starting at A and ending at F.

His methods are so powerful that he is able to take these students and surgically remove the "geek" from the man.

His clientele ranges from TV stars to college students, and multimillionaire industry titans have flown him around the planet for private consultation.

Tran's ABCs of Attraction has long been considered the top independent pickup company for minority men, outlasting the competition simply because his students' results are in an ELITE league of their own.

Pickup masters from around the globe consider his method of teaching as the wave of the future. Tran has single-handedly ushered in a new era of pickup instruction.

He recently landed the cover of AsianWeek Newspaper, where he was lauded as a "master pick-up artist and entrepreneur", and Tran has also graced the pages of D Magazine, Banana Living, and the infamous Cliff's List, referred to in The Game.

But less than 10 years ago, he was clueless on how to meet women.

As a 5-foot-6 Vietnamese teenager, he focused all his time on his studies, harboring romantic dreams of dating the "out of his league cheerleaders" in his classes.

A typical Asian-American social reject, Tran literally drug himself out of the dirty Texas streets, battling unstoppable racism while trying to date white (and other) women.

He finally managed to gain the heart of a beautiful Southern Belle in college, only to lose her when he moved to California to begin his career as a rocket scientist and NASA subcontractor. Downtrodden and alone, Tran set out to find the "secret" to successfully meeting women.

In education, he was an all-star. But in the dating world he was still a rookie.

With only his determination and a dream to romantically connect with the most beautiful of models, he poured over everything there was to know about pickup, becoming one of the original students of legendary pickup artist Mystery.

Tran spent years of trial and error in the field, winging with pickup legends, before developing his own breakthrough methods of attraction designed specifically from the ground up to turn a zero into a hero by addressing ALL facets of pick-up and lifestyle, otherwise known as the Holistic Way.

An average-looking guy, Tran knew he would have to work harder than the next man to get the results he dreamed of. Instead of taking the easy route, he chose to pursue only the women that he thought were perfect 10's. When he got good at that, he pushed it further by befriending male models and competing with them to woo women.

In 2009, he is more active in the community than ever, and his students dominate in nightclubs around the world.

His small-average-guy-gets-the-hot-girl method is airtight, as hundreds of his students can attest to, and his personal instructors are some of the best in the business.

While many pickup artists rely on gimmicks or flashy clothes to get the girls, Tran continues to push the idea that pickup must be taught through a "Holistic" process, that focuses on changing every facet of a person's being. This has become the pillar of his instruction. His methods have been taught around the world and have become a staple for men of all races.
