So much high level content here. This is really a bargain!
L.G. delivers a dedactical and technical treasure. Structured by naming the pisitions very clearly and going through when to tap followed by giving a toolkit how to learn most efficient before he is going into concepts and techniques. The technique series is mainly focused on heel hooks. Shown straight and very detailed
The way Lachlan breaks down leg entanglements is one of a kind. His background makes it even better. Absolutely amazing quality and one of my favorites.
Another great Instructional!
Lachlan breaks the leg down very well to understand the various nuances that go in the the techniques. I frequently reference this series anytime I am focusing on leg locks in practice.
Covers leg lock technique very broadly. Loved it.
Lachlan has a very good teaching style. This is a very detailed and comprehensive instructional. I would recommend to anyone wanting to know more about 50/50. I like that he includes a lot of trouble shooting, and solutions to common problems. Unlike some instructionals he also includes both offense and defense.
Great explanations on leg lock techniques. Got it specifically for the escape ms and defenses and did not disappoint.
Some of the best material on the subject. The leg lock game is one that I’ve neglected. Lachlans approach is top notch and a must have.
Really great review. I like how Lachlan breaks down each individual aspect of 5050 into small components that you. An implement into your daily training. Highly recommend!
After purchasing this instructional, in the span of a month I went from knowing nothing about leglocks to securing heel hook finishes every training session. It is highly detailed and very well structured.
This instructional has completely changed my game! Its is an absolute gem and well worth the money.
I play the 50/50 leglock game exclusively in no small part due to this instructional. Lachlan has got to be my favourite instructor by far.
Highly recommended. My professor told me that i move and roll differently since getting this instructional. I am also able to roll competitively now with higher belts even tho i’m just a white belt. Thank you Lachlan Giles and BJJ Fanatics. Will definitely purchase more instructionals.
You can learn a lot from this video. Very good quality teaching material
Tons of detail !
One of the best teachers in JJ. Great for beginners but enough for experts also. One of my favorites.
Helpful!
Lachlan Giles = Always fantastic. Incredible amount of information.
Almost too much information and it feels chaotic in it's organization. I felt myself getting bored watching this. I feel like it needed to be more focused and correlated better. It feels like too much information.
Lachlan is the most detailed leg lock instructor
This is well done and pretty extensive. He shows all the defense against heel hook which is amazing.
really anoying
great
Awesome instructionals by Lachlan He’s one of the best coaches on here The reason I own most of his videos He sets the perfect teaching pace
Insane amount of material, Lachlan is my favorite by far to try to learn from his approach to teaching is amazing. Getting it in the price I got it for almost feel like stealing after going through some of it.
Lachlan is one of my great instructors He has big emphasis on my game I enjoyed his leg locks instructional so much
I have most of Lachlan’s video courses and probably no one buys as many videos as I do on BJJ Fanatics! Lachlan makes some of the most structured and comprehensive video instructional on the web - the only comparisons are Gordon Ryan and Danaher but they are much too expensive. The Leg Lock anthology, like all his other work is fantastic and really opened my eyes up to an area of BJJ that I’m not familiar with. Well worth the buy especially if you can get a deal on it
Clearly constructed and very informative. The only small aspect I couldnt find was answered my Dr. Giles himself via Instagram message. Would recommend.
Love Lachlan as an instructor. Makes learning so easy with his teaching style.
Been very helpful for me with learning leg locks. He doesn’t a great job with technique breakdown.
Effective system
Unlike the title, it contains everything about the leg lock game. This video alone is enough to tell you everything about leg lock. Everything, including defense, offence, and trasition, is contained in this one video. I respect lachlan made this video. He is the best
if you are interested in outside control leglock, it's just the best choice.
Love how Giles breaks down the concepts and gets into the mechanics of the knee and isolating it. This instructional is full of ah ha moments and helps connects the dots for my leg game.
The best 50/50 instructional on the market
This is the perfect introduction to 50/50. I enjoyed it a lot.,
Useful and understandable.
A bible for leg locks. A great addition to my library.
Lachlan is a genius, one of the best around. great teacher, regular and relatable guy. and also a calm badass. he will show you some of the best techniques around, in a very modern game and, under a technical aspect, he set the bar for the instructional. the fighting intelligence this guy has is incredible.
If you are working on your leglock game, this is a strong instructional to increase your arsenal. Thanks Lachlan!
Switch gyms to one that practices leg locks and found my self out of my depth. This is helping me fixed that.
Lachlan is very good at explaining concepts and techniques in a comprehensive and fluent way. I especially like how he covers different responses that your opponent can give you and how to counter them, not many other instructional do that. I would recommend this instructional to anyone who is interested in learning the leg lock game and have a better understanding of not only the 50/50 position but all other positions as well.
Essential when learning attacks from 50/50
Lachlan Giles Leg Lock Anthology 50/50 has helped my leg lock game tremendously from a 50/50 standpoint. His explanations related to anatomy and physiology also helped my understanding as well. Great buy for sure and I’ll keep reviewing the content for years to come to refine my game with all the small details.
Pretty well organized, and exceptional detail. I really like the slo mo replays he incorporates into the lesson instead of your only option being constantly rewinding. Clear and articulate. As far as depth of knowledge, I think you're talking master's level stuff. It's worth the money.
One of the best instructionals I've purchased on here. Obviously a fan of Lachlan's leg entanglements from watching him in competitions, happy to say he does an equally impressive job teaching it. Great positional breakdown if you're new to leglocks and hours of details if you're more advanced. I purchased a few months ago and find myself coming back to study more at least once a week, 10/10 recommend.
Everyone knows how good Lachlan is at leg locks from seeing him compete. In this series he breaks everything down in great detail but giving explanations of the grips and positions, why they are effective, and what counters may be used and how to prevent them. Another great product
Really helped my leglock game, great insight and detail to the positions, submissions as well as all the battles at each stage. Love how Lachlan teach, also the slow motion demonstrations are super helpful.
Absolutely love the level of detail in this instructional. From breaking mechanics to entry’s and defense, this has drastically improved my leg leg game!
