I would recommend heavily against it. I believe that Pickup instruction can speed up your progress enormously (that's why I'm working this summer for Vincent and Dimitri and being compensated with a workshop). I've done a lot of reseach on all the programs out there, and I would say RSD is the worst workshop program on the market right now.
Students typically have numerous complaints. First, there are usually over 30 students in a workshop. There are 10 instructors usually so about 3:1 student to teacher ratio. But still, the absolute number of students make the in-field sarging a ****farm -- 40 guys sarging the same venue.
Second, instructors have a bad habit of sarging for themselves during the workshop. You will see some incredible feats of PU...but you won't spend so much time learning how to do them.
Third, RSD basically teaches Mystery Method, which relies heavily on techniques to fake disinterest and memorized routines. If this is what you're looking for, then that's great. But be aware that you don't have to put on a magic show or memorize 30 routines in order to get the highest quality women. You can do it, but you don't have to. A direct approach will also work on 10s, contrary to what Tyler and Mystery say. Also these techniqes are horrible for converting girls to FBs or MLTRs (girlfriends), because if you're an unattractive guy who's just memorized a bunch of cool routines, what are you going to do after you've said them all?
Fourth, RSD only teaches game in a club venue. This isn't good for students who also want to learn how to pick-up women in the daytime, like me. The claim is that if you can pickup women in a high-energy club, you can pickup women anywhere. This isn't true, a different approach is needed for daytime.
The fifth and final complaint is that students are not treated well by instructors. The instructors show up late, are rude to students in-field, and refuse to talk to them when they're not on the clock.
To be fair, there are also some people who have had a positive experience with RSD. Typically, these are people who are experienced with PU and Mystery Method before they come into the workshop. RSD works on inner beliefs very little, so it's not really worth it to someone who's just starting off in the game.
However, it's not all bad. Students typically do learn a good amount, especially if they are already fairly advanced. I just don't feel that the bad elements of RSD outweigh the good ones, and I think there's much better programs out there.
My claims are supported by numerous reviews of RSD. Here are a few you should read:

If you want to read more, search the mASF archive for "RSD workshop review". I reccomend you read all the reviews before you make your decision. Also, Badboy's forum (
www.playboylifestyle.net) has a few comparative reviews of RSD to his program. When you read these reviews, look at the difference in the LONG TERM RESULTS the students got before and after the workshops, not just their results that weekend.
Of course, I would love it if you took Vincent and Dimitri's program. But if you go to one of the free mini-semiars and decide that Vincent and Dimitri's game isn't your style, I'd would take a Badboy workshop instead of RSD. Although you'll have to pay more, he at least has a credible reputation for giving students long-term success.
I've done a huge amount of research on all the workshop programs out there, so if you have any other questions, PM me.
