Awesome
Great concepts
The instructionals are clear and concise. Very good.
Very good instructional, can come back to it when having problems with certain positions, would recommend
good enough
Des détails ultra précis. Et ce calme dans ses explications. C'est apaisant et rassurant. Les séquences en lives sont très instructives pour constater les transitions entre les défenses.
Nice

Great
As Danaher once said; focus on a wide range of techniques, to have a shallow understanding on many things is more important in defense. This series lives up to that.
Lachlan is the best coach for learning positional escapes, since Ive beeen watching his back escapes I improve a lot!
This is such a helpful instructional, I often find myself returning to this one time and time again. Lachlan has a great way of explaining and demonstrating techniques and things to be thinking about. The only thing that would've been good would've been good to see some of the techniques in the gi too, as the added friction would make some of these escape harder. But I'd definitely recommend this one and any other of Lachlan's instructionals.
Excellent details and linking the positions together!
Great instructional to watch while I'm out injured
As Usual, the instructionals from Lachlan are detailed and easy to digest. Also the contents of this is relevant from beginner onwards!
Another great instructional from Lachlan Giles. He explains every technique and concept in great details that can be easily understood and applied. Highly Recommended!
Great job explaining the fundamental details to escaping lots of positions
Great info on Escapes here by Giles. Highly recommended!
Simply one of the best instructionals I've bought - a must for white belts.
Great in details.
concise techniques brought to life in the rolling videos
Easy to understand and implement
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!! It's detailed, but not boring!! Perfect for a martial arts nerd like me!! Great for those who are new or experienced.
Really good
If you get stuck in a bad position (which you do) then this provides a great overview for how to escape. Great to have organized so well so I can find the positions that I’m currently struggling with and improve without having to watch hours of unrelated content.
This is a great collection of escapes, definitely not something you’d want front to back but more a reference for when you need to work on escapes from specific positions. Easy to understand and implement with little to no fluff.
Great content, like to use as an encyclopedia of escapes when required
Super helpful for someone just starting out in BJJ
Very well explained and easy to follow
The sheer amount of high quality content and answers to problems. Something you can come back to for years.
And you're out!!
Covers everything needed
Very good. I’ve been able to use various techniques to start escaping situations (front headlock, turtle, and side control specifically) I typically find myself in as a white belt against heavier opponents.
This instructional is presented in clear and detailed language. It covers essential concepts, skills and techniques required for escaping Gi and No Gi submission attempts. There’s also narrated rolling included.

This instructional is absolutely loaded with efficient techniques, nuances and mobility details on escapes. It’s all presented in very clear concise language and the visual angles are well choreographed.
Great overview of fundamental escapes. Lachlan teaching and course structure really makes it easy to follow and apply
Very good video. It helped me a lot
Very good for escapes, fundamental to learn, especially as a white belt
Lachlan presents everything very well
Lachlan Giles is hands down the best instructor. This instructional is very complete and full of important details for staying safe and escaping bad positions, and his explanations are crystal clear. Can't go wrong with this one.

sda
I can say how much this serious has helped me in Bjj
I'm on and off training due to life, and I always come back to reference this instructional to refresh my escapes.
Amazing instruction
I keep going back to this series. Easy to understand and follow.
Essential content from Lachlan, delivered in the best way possible.
Lachlan has a tendency to go extremely in depth on his videos which really helps you get your moneys worth. I highly recommend this video as it follows his outline of being very thorough. It works really well for watching and building a basic outline of what to do in each position and then coming back as needed if new issues arise. I say this because if you try to remember everything, it just won't happen for most people.
The first instructional you should buy imo. Lots of details that make the difference.
