Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great
Great instructional, Lachlns teaching style is entertaining and easy to grasp.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Logical, Well thought out, good teaching style
Lachlan has a fantastic understanding of BJJ (obviously), but he has an equally solid understanding of how to teach, and what a white belt needs to learn. I really appreciate the logical progression to the escapes, that can then be linked together. I like the accuracy of the bookmarks. I like the detail that he goes into. I like the fact that he only says things once then leaves the rewinding up to us. I dont understand why half guard isnt in this escapes instructional (or others for that matter e.g danaher) - but on the premise of the 30 day returns policy I gave this a shot, and also bought the 'Half guard anthology' to fill the gap, while also building a full half guard game. All I can say is - I'm glad I did. Props to Lachy. I only hope some day I get the chance to train/roll with him in person

Really Great Instructional which is helping me stay in the game longer when I've gotten myself into bad positions.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:GREAT ESCAPES

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:This is the best escape instructional for lighter people
I weigh 135 and these techniques produced the most immediate improvement in my escape results.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Lachlan Giles Fundamentals of BJJ Escapes
The format and pacing of this instructional is perfect. Some of the concepts were new to me or explained in a way that allowed me to see a different dimension to the concept/move.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:top notch
as usual, Lachlan Giles delivery an amazing product. one of the best outside there about this topic.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Lachlan is an encyclopedia!
One of my favorite bjj teachers. i find myself going back to Lachlan's videos to troubleshoot time and time again.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:This is what you need when you stuck with both shoulders on the mat.
With this instructional Lachlan has made it easy to troubleshoot your escapes. He has covered a great deal of every common defensive position and as the sections are well marked it is easy to find the right part. And there is both examples for gi and nogi, plus the rolling footage with Lachlans commentary is great, because you get to see the technique done in action. All in all, I think this instructional provides great tools to improve your defensive skills.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Mr.
Great video series. He gives great insight on how to practice the techniques in small components in order to be aware of different types of attacks and how to respond to them . As an older grappler this system will give me the tools to not only survive escapes but attack as well...
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great system
Great instructionals
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Excellent Detail, logical, relevant to all skill levels
I am a one stripe white belt. I have tried to learn several escapes from common control positions before but found them very hit and miss in actual rolling - especially as a small person. Lachlan goes into a lot of detail and a large number of scenarios so that I can see where the basic escapes have been failing me, understand why and work to correct my game. I love that he is also not a giant but has had success in ultimate weight class competitions so that I know his methods are biomechanically sound for those of us that are lighter.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Great instructional
Great details
Awesome easy to follow techniques!
Worth the price. He gives out detailed and easy to follow instructions on how you can escape most common and advance submissions and if you ever find yourself in these bad spots. Highly recommended!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Lachlan Giles is a good instructor.
I like that Lachlan Giles thinks of how people will be coming back to watch the videos again and lays things out well from position to position. Good techniques and concepts.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great Instructional
Brilliant instructional which can be used at all levels. Lachlan is so good at explaining the escapes and concepts in both gi and no gi, highly recommended!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:One of the best instructors in BJJ
Lachlan does it again, so much useful stuff with advice on what to look for and the reaction to it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Straight to the point
Lachlan is a very very talented instructor, His escapes instructional has helped my game a lot
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Perfect for Building a Solid Foundation
This was the first instructional i bought about 3-4 months after starting bjj and it helped my understanding of the basic positions of bjj tremendously. This instructional is primarily about escapes and does a great job with that but the real value is in Lachlan's teaching style. Because he goes into so much detail on each position and doesn't just simply outline basic escape techniques he provides you with a vast conceptual understanding of each main position that translates not only into your escapes, but also into your offense so that you can better control and submit your opponent from these positions. Would recommend this to anyone looking to get better at bjj, well worth it. Thanks Lachlan!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great video. It shows gi
Great video. It shows gi and no gi variations to technique. Also there is a section with narrated sparring to review how to use the moves against a live opponent.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Another gem from Lachlan.
You can't go wrong with any of Lachlan's videos. The content is always great and the production quality is probably the best in the business. I immediately began to implement escapes from this series in class with good success. Highly recommended.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Great details.
Great details.
