This was a great video and help me out a-lot in my game. Was able to see the difference immediately.
A very comprehensive instructional
along with silver fox's instructional, this has been the most influential instructional on the guillotine for me! Thank you so much Lachlan is the best!
very usefull !!
very usefull
Favorite teacher on this site. Have had mant subs using skills learned from this video.
Great way to learn some basics with double shooting
Love the video definitely pointed out some parts I need to fix
Great course, it covers a lot of useful detail, including small points that really make a difference. I love the length, you don’t have to commit full days to get through it, and he packs a lot of value into a short amount of time.
This instructional really elevated my no GI choke game. The explanations are very thorough, and well done.
Lachlan is a great teacher and doesn’t drone on and on
Great teacher
Ideal for practitioners who want reliable, high-success submissions they can apply consistently at any level.
The lessons are very well organized and easy to follow. He explains every detail clearly and shows common mistakes and how to fix them. You can really tell he is a very experienced coach. He explains not just how to do the chokes, but why they work and when to use them. The techniques are practical and work well in real training. I have already used some of these chokes in sparring. I highly recommend this course for all levels.
Sehr gute Erklärungen und schnell umsetzbar
Awesome love it
The front headlock system is still relevant and works during rolls
Great details
This was excellent at improving my no gi chokes. The instructional is well done and easy to understand.
Awesome stuff.
This is a broad and useful selection of chokes, but other than the Guillotine, they are not particularly high-percentage. Lachlan does an excellent job of breaking down the choke details. I think he does a better job at this than Neil Melanson or Pedro Marinho. (Pedro Marinho's Marinhotine is brutal, though.) The six highest-percentage chokes in both no-gi submission grappling and MMA are (1) Rear ***** Choke, (2) Guillotine Choke, (3) Triangle Choke, (4) Arm Triangle Choke (5) D'Arce Choke, and (6) Anaconda Choke. This instructional is missing (1), (3), and (4). It does not cover the Rear ***** Choke, the Triangle Choke, or the Arm Triangle Choke. The chokes this instructional covers are the Guillotine (both arm-in and arm-out variations), the D'Arce, the Anaconda, the Japanese Necktie, and the North-South Choke. Total running time: 4 hours, 37 minutes.
Awesome return on investment for someone wanting to transition from gi to nogi or simply wants to have an encyclopedia to learn a bit of everything related to nogi chokes
This instructional pairs well with a front lock heavy game in no gi. It will help you chase the sub and works as a method to pass and control
Very good for learning Darce
Very well explained instructional on chokes.
