Deep instructional one I keep coming back to that has improved my leg lock game
Great instructional. No long drawn explanations. Great strategy to learn how to learn.
There is just so much content here that it can come across overwhelming. However, I really like how Lachlan breaks this down and says that this is something you should be coming back to over a long period of time. It is very helpful how he identifies things as primary attacks and those are the things you should focus on first. I also found it extremely helpful how he called out to start with butterfly entries first. There is just a wealth of information here from counters to escapes to options. It is alot to take in but you definitely get your moneys worth. I actually do prefer these longer form instructionals. I have his k guard instructional and I think they are both very valuable if you want to start getting into the leg game.
Very nice detailing
This is hands down the best instructional I’ve ever bought. He covers everything from basic anatomy to complex leg entries. Regardless of your experience with leg locks, this is a must watch.
Thanks to this instructional guide, I can now execute leg locks very well.
Lachlan is always very thorough in his instructionals. I have quite a few of them and I think this one is my favorite. I bought this on sale but even at full price it’s a great value. I think this and John Danaher's leg lock video are the best introductions for people who want a good foundation but room to grow as they get better.
Proven, tested, good stuff. Very detailed and breaks down some incredible leg offense, one of the best instructionals ive purchased.
Amazing details, really helped me break down complicated leg locks into sequences that I didn't understand or recognise in regular sessions, helps me understand what my instructor is talking about!
I used to avoid 50/50 at pretty much all costs, but after watching this instructional it's actually become one of my favored positions. Lachlan leaves no stone unturned, and provides you with answers for every scenario.
There is so much information and detail here, probably the most I have seen in an instructional so far. So many options here, where to start! Definitely going to be spending alot of time studying this. This is a great resource when you want to start adding leg locks to your game.
Perfect for a newbie to leg locks
Incredibly detailed, love the k guard entries
Amazing Too many details to get on one go around
Every instructional by Lachlan Giles is outstanding. The level of detail is excellent, and I always learn a great deal from his teaching.
Amazing amount of detail
Great
Lachlan has outdone himself by covering such intricate details using only basic language and examples that is easy to understand. From technique details to concepts, a must buy!
Ótimo curso
Lachlan provides in-depth coverage on how to understand the leg attack and defense topics. A must need leg class if you're still ignoring 50% of the body.
Great concepts with techniques that doesn't require superior physical attributes.
Eliminated a lot of the confusion I experienced when in leg entanglements
Best 5050 instructional
理解が深まりました。
Good
One of the best leg lock instructions. Comprehensive coverage for technically all the positions
Love it
A very thorough guide to effectively attacking from the 50/50. An instant improvement to my game.
I think this is still the best one i've seen, and it's a steal compared to the others. Lachlan is maybe the best instructor on the site and all his stuff is gold.
great course
The best instructional in my library and that means alot because I have a lot, this is testosterone in competition and its tested and proven this will make a white belt or anyone with intellect a force to be wrecken with'
Best instructional i have in my library and that means alot i have ALOT!!! Thank you!! The knowledge is from tested experience in completion thanks again
Very good tecnic
This a great instructional on 50/50. There is a lot of great information in this instructional
This is a game changing instructional. I have played with 50/50 and K guard and now I will follow this path. I’m lighter and a little flexible so this suits me well.
I have watch this over the years multiple times to see new details and to better identify errors and problems in my 50/50 love it.
great
Great introduction into leg locks with a heavy emphasis on 50/50 position.
I have a lot of different leg lock instructionals, and even though this one is primarily about the 50/50 position, it is one of the best overall instructionals out there. If you could only focus on one leg lock series I would recommend this over any others.
This is one of my favorite instructionals
Been able to defend leg locks quite well almost immediately as a new white belt! lots of content that I look forward to implement
anthology was a great series! loved the content and added all the material to my own leg lock game. thank you Professor!!!!
great
Very impressed, I wanted to improve my leg locks game and I feel I am learning from the best!
Lachlan is great because he stays on point and explains what matters. Many of the tutorials I watch are loaded with good info but sometimes go off the rails.
This instructional took my jiujitsu game to the next level. very comprehensive instructional. a lot of depth and range but recommended especially if you are new to the leglock game
As someone whos new to leglock and always trying to understand the basic of it. This is a gem
Videos are long but understandable with the amount of knowledge put into this. The linking the techniques option is great as an overview of the techniques in each chapter.
The level of detail provided is incredible
