Fantastic Instructional
A must have instructional - fantastic content
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Definitely a comprehensive guide to 50/50 position
My first leg lock dvd I purchased over two years ago. I have went back to this dvd several time in the last two years, it’s turned me from someone who use to disengage from all leg locks situation to some who actively invites them and hits them in competition. Lachlan’s approach to teaching is very seamless and gives information that’s easy to digest and implement.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻50/50

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Leg Lock Anthology
No doubt Lachlan Giles is one of the best Coaches/Teachers in the game with how well he explains each of the content in this instructional. The techniques and the overall system that he teaches is very well-rounded. Overall, another great material from Lachlan Giles.

Best dvs for guard retention
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻As usual, pure Gold!
Honestly I don't know Professor Giles does it? This is a tremendous amount of content for a very, very reasonable price. I have recorded videos myself in the past for my job and I can tell you, it takes a ton of work recording and editing. Now to the video content itself. It is simply packed with priceless nuggets and I just love Professor Giles way of teaching. Each move is broken down, scenarios are addressed and the move is shot from various angles. This is gold for beginners to advanced. Above all, what a super nice guy Professor Giles is! Buy any of his videos and I am absolutely sure you will not regret it!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤗🤗Endless details
This is easily one of the best Leg Lock instructionals out there, in my opinion. You get what you pay for, & so much more. Lachlan is one of the best at breaking things down and showing the right amount of detail to help Change your whole leg locking game. This instructional is like getting a treasure chest with just tons of little nuggets and details. So much to learn in this, & Giles does a great job at not overwhelming you, while at the same time making it very understandable. Recommend to anyone at any level, interested in learning the Dark Arts
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Best by Lachlan I’ve seen.
Best by Lachlan I’ve seen. Goes over leg entanglements as well as sweeps, back attacks, passes & other subs from 50/50
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻My favorite instructional
Before purchasing "leg lock anthology" I was terrified of getting into leg entanglements in training. Now I have such a good understanding of both attacking and defending heel hooks. A couple of month following this instructional has led to me tapping most people out in the gym with heel hooks.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great methodical instruction.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻5 stars
Everything I need to know to study and drill heel hooks, I highly recommend Lachlan Giles for any bjj instructionals he puts way more content than anyone else
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Can’t access video
Bought the program unfortunately not able to access the video very unfortunate
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The favorite of this hardcore BJJ Fanatic!
I've purchased way too many instructionals here at BJJ Fanatics since early 2018, I doubt I'll ever even get to watch all of them before I pass away I've gotten so many lol. With that out of the way, this instructional if I had to say 1 was my favorite that I have watched, it would probably be this one!! Just excellent content, teaching, tons of stuff with really no wasted talking, just constant insightful BJJ knowledge about the leg lock game being thrown at you!! Thank you @Lachlan Giles and BJJ Fanatics - you both have helped this 44 year old brown belt improve so much technically that it's overcome what I've lost physically to keep me loving the game, Oss!!
Response from BJJ FanaticsNice! 🤗Very informative, much recommend
Lachlan demonstrates the techniques that were effective at the highest level. The level of detail is astonishing for its price. I do not think you will get as much bang for your buck anywhere else.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Definitely recommend
Lachlan is a great coach offers a very good information for beginners or those unfamiliar with leg locks like me. Help me to understand the differences between saddle 50/50, 80/20, 90/10 and the other names for the position. That’s only the first section so there’s a good amount of content in this video.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Might buy it twice
Just as always with Lachlan, I feel like I paid too little for such extensive and great content. I am truly considering buying it twice just to show how much I appreciate all the time that he puts into this.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Worth it
I always thought 50/50 was a shootout position for heel hooks in nogi until I saw this. Should really be called the outside triangle anthology. In the Gi I use 50/50 and outside leg position rather than inside leg position (butterfly/SLX) and wanted to learn leg locks. Lachlan goes over every situation and reaction you could think of. Goes over non heel hook attacks, staying safe, backside 50/50, how to defend the saddle, and rolling footage tapping everyone in the gym. Like always, has an immense amount of content broken down in detail. System proven at the highest level. Worth the money!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The Dark Side of the Force
Lachlan’s content is so well structured, I have 4 of his digital content pieces and each one is excellent. This was my favourite as I had an unhealthy fear of heel hooks until watching this and just like batman, I became what I feared most… Within a few months I was actually pulling off heel hooks and the techniques featured here. Buy this instructional and come to the dark side of the force.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🔥This stuff is fire
Honestly this is the best leg lock system, I have played a inside position leg lock game for a while but since studying this DVD I have transferred to an outside game with leg entry’s, as a blue belt that’s 62kgs I have tapped out a lot of higher ranks and heavier dudes in hard sparring. I 100% recommend you buy this instructional if you are wanting to learn leg locks or even if you already know them there is so much information in this.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻great leg lock!!
Technical leg lock is very useful for my sparring.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A great work of art
Great.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Amazing
Completely changed my game. Excellent instruction and clear directions for every move. 10/10 must have if you're a leglocker.

Great over all view from physiology and theory to techniques and execution.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗50/50 Heel Hooks
Amazing details. Was able to implement the concepts straight away.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻100% must have!!!
best instructional I saw so far. I hated 50/50 before and awoided it by far. But Lachlans way of explaining, effort to search the right angle for better understanding, explaining again on the student doing the technique, linking techniques is awesome. 100% worth it and must have!!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗I never knew Lachlan Giles has a PhD.
It's too much content, I'll have to admit. I don't think you can absorb every detail in one night. It's going to take time. But with that said, they're all worth it. With his PhD in the mechanics behind tissue atrophy, the biggest key to his leg locks is his mechanics of where to put the pressure to cause the breaking point. He must've studied leg anatomy in details to know where are its weak points, and put pressure there to cause breakage. If you think about it, leg is stronger than arm, and yet there's still weak points in it. Just like John Danaher, he'll give you scientific or logical reasoning behind his work, which will give you the concepts behind his leg locks, thus up your leg lock game with fundamental knowledge and strategy. Just, take it a bit at a time b/c it's a lot of material, for sure (like an encyclopedia).
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻my my
Mind blowing details. Really elevated my game. I was terrible but now I understand why I was terrible
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Everything to know about 5050 Heel hooks
If you want to know all there is about heel hooking from 5050, get this instructional. If you want to be left behind and not know, then don't get it.
Excellent!!!
Wow. I have yet to come across a more thorough and detailed explanation about techniques. There is so much information that this really needs to be viewed in small bits so you can internalize it and work on incremental advancements. The pace is the right tempo so that you can understand as he goes. Thanks for such a great tutorial that will be very useful.
Response from BJJ FanaticsMake the most out of it! 🤗Lachlan Giles!
Lachlen Giles puts out some of the best, most comprehensive instructionals I have ever seen. He doesn't hold anything back and every second of his instructionals are full of detail. This is a must have for anyone into leg locks!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Video really helps me understand
Video really helps me understand the small details that I miss during class.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A really (really) good instructional.
Lachlan is an amazing teacher. One of the interesting things he does is has white belts try the moves he teacher throughout the series and then corrects them. I found this--even as a brown belt--to be exceptionally helpful. You can tell Lachlan spends a ton of time laying out his material before he films it, and thinks critically about how to explain which techniques in which order. All of this hard work pays off. The DVD is truly awesome.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻TOTALLY AWESOME
Man guys lots of great details from this instructional, definitely recommend the basics first and this after, especially if you play an open guard game you will see that the opportunities for heel hook are endless, thank you soooooo much Giles, an absolute game changer. Now i have to get some of your other content because leg anthology truly opened my mind. 👍�👍�👍�:joy::joy::joy:
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻This is my bible right
This is my bible right now it will take me years to drill everything in this dvd set!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Superb instructional
I’m pretty much staggered by how good this instructional is, the level of detail discussed and shown, and the way the whole subject is approached and broken down, it’s superb, and big thanks to LG for putting it together and passing on his knowledge.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Leg Lock Anthology
Great material explained flawlessly- very informative with techniques and concepts I can easily add to my game. Thanks to Mr Giles and BJJ fanatics for another great instructional
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great series
Often a troubling position, now it’s a go to when I need to find the finish. Thank you or the knowledge.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻So much information. Lachlan is
So much information. Lachlan is one of the most scientific and descriptive teachers online. I’ve barely dived into the information and feel so lucky to have access to the innovations
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻All-around amazing
This is excellent. I was mostly interested in the K-guard entries when I bought, but was really impressedby the whole system. The first two volumes move at a slow pace (a bit boring if you're familiar with heelhooks, but great if you're a beginner), but the later volumes are loaded with technique and details I haven't seen elsewhere. Overall a great and unique instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Really great instructional
Awesome content!
