Great format and answered questions I've had for yeqrs
At 5’5 ,This series answered at lot of my questions and the concepts totally changed my game
Very in depth clear descriptions of the moves. Also gives a chain of progressions that makes a lot of sense. Overall Lachlan Giles is a great teacher
Really nice Lessons!
My favorite instructor. I love the way he explains details. 👍�👍�
Amazing! Lachlan offers some of my favorite instructionals on BJJFanatics. Goes deep into explaining the intricacies of each move. Love it!
Excellent content. Love it.
I appreciate the different camera angles.
Great video ! Tons of choking methods!
Great and effective techniques. Its made me more confident about grappling. Highly reccomended!
Lachlan is a great teacher. This series has more details of how he makes these techniques work. In addition to details of the techniques themselves, the series is good because it is edited well, includes live examples, and he describes some strategies for execution.
Excellent content I look forward to implementing these strategies into my game when the gyms open up again.
Lachlan has a great balance to his instruction. Details things out just enough so you aren't bored, and show how it works while rolling.
Nice instruction of chokes, troubleshooting, linking stuff together, and transitioning between positions. I like it when instructionals show how techniques flow into each other (instead of just showing isolated techniques), and Lachlan is good at that.
Lachlan is one of the best instructors hands down. He explains techniques in a clear and concise manner without the long drawn out explanations like some of the other big time BJJ coaches. I’ve become known in my gym for head and arm chokes after studying this instructional. Highly recommend this and any of his other DVD’s.
Awsome!
As an eager beginner, I've bought a few videos. Lachlan's video is an excellent purchase for the price. He speaks clearly and straight to the point. I really enjoy the way this is set up. He begins by explaining different types of chokes and how to execute them. At the very end, he narrates through his rolls. I've noticed I learn a lot through the narrated rolls. From now on I will not be buying any more videos without rolls being narrated. One of my favorite coach now.
fantastic content, very well explained literally so much content even in just the first DVD. it is very easy to grasp, would highly recommend
Great ..Great DVD.. don't think you no all the chokes, lol, this will bring you back to reality. GREAT STUFF. EXPLAINED WELL, GREAT FIGHTER...
Great course easy to add to your game or just to tighten up your game...
This is a must but instructional for chokes. The way that Lachlan breaks down the content had catching and finishing these techniques soon after purchase. In particular the arm in guillotine and mounted arm in guillotine
Such a great video. Lachlan demonstrates each position with great clarity. Every small detail is carefully explained and filmed from various angles. I would highly recommend this series to anyone.
Great detail no one ever showed my about no go chokes. This dvd has helped me a lot!
Good details.
This is a great overview of the full suite of conventional no-gi chokes. Like all of Lachlan’s instructionals this is outstanding. He is very good at explaining key concepts, detailed techniques and even practicalities like which chokes to prioritise depending on your body type and limb length. If I had to pick one thing to criticise is the fact that, by Lachlan’s own admission and as set out in the title, the content works better in nogi (although a lot of it translates to the gi too).
Great job as always. Lachlan does a great job explaining the techniques. Good details.
Lachlan, highly recomend, very clear and efficient explanation of the chokes, game charger 👊�,
Lachlan is a great instructor with a very direct but humble method of presenting the material on his instructional. There are so many great details that upgrade the submissions and also link them together. Definitely a must buy
I bought Lachlan Giles half guard DVD and I really enjoyed it. So when I saw he had another video I made sure to get it. He didn’t disappoint. I really like his style of teaching and the amount of detail is great. I highly recommend this and all of his videos. Can’t wait for the leg lock dvd.
He is very detail and explains very well that is easy to understand. Love his videos.
The videos are of high quality and the teaching was awesome!
Made massive improvements to my game. Thorough, clear, step by step instructional
Lachlan Giles has by far one of my fave video instructors. He has details that other guys just don’t explain into details. Now I understand chokes more
Very in-depth and easy to follow.
I'm the type of guy that needs things to be simple. If it starts sounding like math and looking like break dancing, I'm out! I got used to instructional videos as GU student and I'm always on the lookout for additional resources that may enhance my skills without breaking me. This instructional video is very easy to follow and the techniques absolutely work. Lachlan Giles breaks down key details and as long as you put in the work, you won't go wrong.
Easy to follow, clear and clever
Lachy breaks it down in a way that’s easy to understand and gets straight to the point. Can confirm that I now have pythons for arms as advertised. Happy with the purchase, thanks coach.
Essential for no-gi beginners. Lachlan is s great instructor.
Lachlan is the best teacher out there! High quality stuff!
Excellent product
Perfect, very good explanation.
Lachlan Giles has a great knowledge and way of breaking down moves.
Awesome!
Gold. Great linking concepts and nuance.
excellent, very detailed instruction on the dyanmics behind every choke and setup. Always been a big fan of lachlan :)
Great breakdown along with many variations!!
Clear, precise instructions. Multiple angles demonstrated so you can actually see what's happening.
I have not completed the content yet. But i trust in lachlan giles. His you tube channel was very helpful to me
Awesome DVD. The only BJJ instructional that I have watched from front to back in 9 years. The only downside is that I purchased the digital copy do to my frequent travel because of work. After purchasing I found out that I could only stream the material and I couldn’t download it for offline purposes. I emailed the company and was met with a negative response. Other than that this is by far the best instructional that I have ever owned. Within 3 weeks I’ve gone from identifying the position possibilities to catching the positions to finishing these submissions at least 2-3 times per roll.
Great breakdown of chokes from no-gi concepts. I have already taught the concepts and the teaching was excellent.
