This is a great instructional. I am a big fan of darces, guillotines & anacondas and this instructional covers them in great depth. Also I've learned some new moves - like the japanese necktie - and starting having some success with it. I think this is a very good investment if you want to improve your chokes.
I use it as a reference book when I train at home
So much information in this instructional! Gonna be using this as a reference for many years to come especially when I learn new attacks. Looking forward to improving my guillotines.
10/10 best instructional simple and effective and explanatory is on point
Awesome instructional
Highly recommend, this instructional is great, especially for smaller grapplers who want to focus on chokes over joint locks for their effectiveness in finishing.
Lachlan has such a talent for describing details at a fundamental level. Every instructional he makes is gold. In High Percentage Chokes, not only does he teach you the name's sake, but he teaches you a system- the entries, objectives, and transitions. You'll get a lot out of this one.
One of the best value for money here. Lachlan set the bar for the instructionals
Excellent instructional.
Highly detailed instructional
Typical of Lachlan Giles, a great resource for your grappling.
Great series. Very detail rich with plenty of options for this white belt!
Wanting to improve my chokes as I found the majority of my submissions were joint locks of some regard. Definitely have a ton of options after going through this. Excited to apply what I'm learning and to keep referring back to this to improve.
Amazing. the whole video i watched 5 times and every time i watch i am still picking up details.
Great chokes from one of the goats! Sick Video
great details on no gi chokes!
I throughly enjoyed this, and have been applying these during my rolls and having a better success rate with my subs rather than just “holding” my opponent. From setting up the choke and applying with the fine details I over looked
Lachlan bringing the goods as usual!
Lachlan is a great instructor. He is also great on his submeta.io, He explains the concept clearly, in small chunks, and elaborates the technic in its alternative options. I would recommend it as well as his half guard anthology.
Lachlan has a lot of really great details in finishing individual submissions and also linking them together and giving his meta behind setting different attacks up
Anything from Lachlan is pure gold, so easy to understand his material. Great mix of concepts and techniques.
Great teacher
lots of great stuff. Very good details.
Systematic approach to the techniques. He is not only teaching the submission as a single technique, but gives you a context, entries to the position, control, action-reaction solutions, troubleshooting. Cover the chokes from different position as guard, top half guard, north south, inverted north south and standing. Give some tips how to adapt the move to your body type. I am glad I bought it. Lachlan is one of the best instructors on the site.
Having started BJJ in the distant year of 1995, I remember a time when no gi chokes where mainly guilhotines and a few variations. As the sport evolved, anacondas and d’arces appeared and being on all fours was suddenly not safe anymore. Here Lachlan shows with minute detail how to set up and finish these lethal chokes. It’s amazing how such a young man can become a true BBJ encyclopedia. Almost all he shows can be used in the gi as well, with a few adjustments. Great instructional.
