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.
The “High Percentage chokes” is a great resource for front headlocks that you can use all the time to improve your chokes game
As the title suggests, very high percentage chokes. Taught with amazing detail!
I've always loved guillotines and this has made them even better.
A great reference video to have. Whenever you lock up a no gi choke and it fails, come back to this after class and figure out what you did wrong
Lots of great submission details and entries. Happy to say I'm hitting a lot more subs in no-gi thanks to this instructional.
Amazing how the lesson is laid out… easy to follow even for a blue belt. Lachlan Giles is a great professor for BJJ in general
This is my favorite choke instructional because the content is well organized and easy to understand. Lachlan is great at breaking down the details behind finishing each choke, when to use each choke, and my favorite part was how he attacks the front headlock position. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to learn No Gi chokes.
Such a good video series... I'm only half way through, and I'm already catching more people with chokes!!! Definitely worth buying!!!
This is a must have instructional! I've been going through it and learn so much. Little details that made my chokes much better. You'll be submitting everyone in class with a lot of variety.
This is a great price for some excellent techniques. I am already hitting north/south chokes regularly.
Everyone has a neck :shrug::male_sign:
Great details! Was using stuff from the first video the next day!
Always with lachlans stuff it is very detailed and covers every eventuality, while being easy to understand. This video will be useful for all belts to either understand the basics of each choke or refine your technique. As there is so much coverage I find I need to try and work on small pieces at a time when training/rolling but when I did, I found them easy to implement
Loved it! He will teach you everything you need to know about chokes, get it now!
Very well put together.
Great teacher
Excellent instructional, really enjoy Lachlan's teaching style. Full of details.

Outstanding. Lachlan does it again.
Good instructional however not concept based as hoped but shows great techniques and followups
I finally started finishing guillotines after watching this instructional. Great value instructional.
Great Course with a lot of info for beginners and finer details for more advanced practicioners
Great teaching style. This has improved my no-gi chokes significantly.
Great details and great technique. Easy to apply and tons of information.
Great instructions
Great resource and mechanics taught by a world class instructor.
I have been a fan of Lachlan Giles prior to this instructional but as a teacher the submissional instructions have been a great resource and a great investment.
Definitely helped with my front head lock game, as a white belt with long arms I am forever grateful for lachlans teaching style.
Brilliant instructional, Lachlan goes into detail with each technique and his teaching style makes it easy to understand.
Actually, I was not sure If I should buy this instructional, because the table of content does not look as well and structured as on the other Lachlan Giles instructionals like his Half Guard or Passing Anthology. But this series is amazing. I just started drilling these and the techniques and follow up techniques are amazing and structured well. I would definitely recommend this dvd.
High Percentage Chokes: No Gi by Lachlan Giles. Can't say it enough, incredible teacher.
This content improved my game significantly. Professor Giles provides thorough, yet simplified instructional techniques that allowed me to remember and utilize the techniques in real time with a very high success rate.
I really enjoyed this instructional. Lachlan's approach to his instructionals is great. He provides a tremendous amount of detail and expertise. Would certainly purchase this again.
Proper guillotines and other chokes with great details to get the finish or end up in top postion
Lachlan s dvds are in my opinion some of the best out there putting out a ton of work for them as you it can be clearly seen.
I can really recomend this instructional. It gave me many more options on how to finish and counter When they defend.
Great instructional that includes the main points for each technique. Works well as a reference for learning a new technique as well as troubleshooting.
Very accurate realistic , and well explained, in a logic way regarding the differents situations that we can expect in a fight . like chess game , you will always be in advance to get the tap . extreme pedagogy , congratulations , i recommend 100 pourcent .
From the beginning of the video you are given Fundamentals that will last you a lifetime and not just moves. I love the branches and how he teaches you what to look for. I found myself applying this within weeks and was told by a higher belt that I know some advanced transitions. The way he teaches is easy to comprehend.
Gives clear, concise instructions and puts everything in an easily implemented system. I was almost able to submit a brown belt after watching this :joy: (He said he was about to tap but I let go too early) Highly recommend this video!!!
I always enjoy his videos. His instruct is clear and the detail is very precise
Very happy with the purchase. Lachlan really is a great instructor. I've only been training 3 years and this has really helped me to understand the mechanics and options available. Highly recommended!!
such a great instructor. this is prob the best head attack instructionnal out there!
This instructional was great. It makes this powerful ecosystem of chokes appear to be very clear, simple, and straightforward for beginners. Giles's teaching method is academic and clinical, but all the moves and concepts have been battlefield tested with narrated rolling footage included in this that showcases them in action against high-level players. Highly recommend it if you are a choke artist looking to wreak havoc on the mats.
another amazing instructionnal from lachlan! worth every dollar!
I've invested in a couple of videos by Lachlan and have to say the quality of his teachings is excellent. The amount of detail he provides will have you watching many times over, plus each breakdown is easy to apply into drilling and also then live training.
helped me alot to improve my choking game !
Very good instructional always love Lachlan’s approach to his instructionals. Great that his covered the transitions that can occur during rolling as-well a wide range of submissions.
really good series, the write-up doesn't do it justice, thought about getting this for a while and really glad I finally have
