Good
This instructional (like all of Lachlans) has soo much information that it should take you years to dive into all chapters. The way he instructs all the positions is priceless just for the way he shows how the systems are used and how to approach your bjj journey.
Lachlan Giles sells the best instructionals out there. I may prefer him versus gordan or john, they are still good but the way lachlan communicates resonates with me and my game.
Good
Incredicle step by step on the k guard, its make you come back to refine the mistakes that you make training, and it covers almost all the possible cenarios on the position
I can’t say enough about this series in terms of value for money. Laughlan has put together an incredibly detailed resource for you to use.
Top tier content. Leaves nothing unexplained

Lachlan Giles is a great professor. I love his "No Gi Open Guard Volume 1: K Guard", "Fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Escapes Gi & No Gi " and so on. His demonstration is easy to understand and very helpful!
Very technical but very well explained
I love k gaurd, and this is a fantastic guide for beginners and more advanced players
one of the must have if u wonna masering the k guard
Muy interesante y efectivo en los scramble❤️
Contains set-ups, attacks, troubleshooting, examples from live roles, and even information about the guards you should play around the k-guard, although positions like de la riva, waiter and 70/30 aren’t covered in extreme detail, there is enough information for you to start using these things to enhance your k-guard game
I like the conceptual stuff of open guard. It helps with a game plan for open guard, not only for K-Guard
Changed my style permanently
Professor Giles lays out an exhaustive amount of information in this instructional. Take small bites and balance your watching with actual practice and you will see great results.
This instructional has been transformational for my game. So grateful

Took a while to incorporate K Guard into my game - but once I got over the initial teething problems is proving to be very effective
Great variety of attacks including wrestle ups, leg locks and sweeps.
Very detailed and thorough. Another great iinstructional.
Great details - taking a while to get the tactics/techniques to work but worth sticking with.

Excellent and detailed
Truly a perfect delivery, brief where it needs to be and rich both technically and conceptually.
Well structured K Guard system with Giles's introduction into his broader Open Guard system in the beginning of this instructional. So if you're interested in the whole series it's definitely worthy to start with this volume.
This is a great system explained in a very methodical progressive logic so you can build it from scratch almost.
