Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻K Guard
I continue to be impressed with Lachlan's instructionals and his attention to detail . K guard provides several new entries to the legs!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome!
Lachlan's instructionals are always top notch. This Open Guard K-Guard series is no exception.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The greatest instructional ever.
Lachlan is the greatest instructor ever, and this k-guard is game changer. Anyone who is interested in modern no-gi jiu jitsu should be learning from this instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Very Detailed
Worth the money. Did a very good job explaining everything. 3+ hours long
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Reverse Triangle the World
I like the way it was structured and how I could tie it into my seat belt and crucifix series when they are trying to escape. It's got some good detail of various positions it can be hit from and used as a controlling position
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Good open guard / k guard
Good stuff
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Reverse Triangle the World
I like the way it has been structured. Entries into it from various attacking and defending positions. Also using it as a controlling position where you can strike or attack the arm with submissions. It has some good details and is clearly taught. I've add it to my seat belt back control and crucifix game and I'm catching it more than I thought I would so I highly recommend this instructional so you too can add the reverse triangles into your game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent game plan
Combine this open guard series with Giles' guard retention anthology and escape fundamentals and you will quickly start frustrating the upper belts as they deal with your new powers. I enjoy playing a passing focused and half-guard game, but I've needed to work on my longer range options. This is the perfect place to start building that kind of game. Giles has the absolute best instructionals and this one is no different.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻set the bar
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.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Recommended
Lachlan is a genius! Learn from one of the best!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Kickstarted my no-gi game
I've always trained the gi and mainly focused on the gi, but I felt recently like learning no-gi and taking no-gi more serious. this instructional kick started my no-gi game and helped me get off to a running start. What Lachlan has taught me about K guard not only helped me in no-gi but also taught me new ideas and techniques to apply to the gi in different ways as well! fantastic instructional!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Love k guard
Everything lachlans produce's is spot on
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Love the k guard
Love lachlans k guard. Was a great purchase. Definitely buying all of his instructionals
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Best introduction to leg locks
I went to a gym where leg locks are used quite often. I struggled at first to adjust. This instructional helped me overcome that. Lachlan emphasizes the safety of outside positioning for leg attacks, to avoid getting your back taken. It also provides a solution to getting to the legs of bigger opponents who like to fight from the knees. His perspective on outside vs inside positioning helped quite a lot with guard retention as well.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Loving K guard
Been a big fan of Lachlans instructionals, originally bought the leglock anthology where he touched on k guard so naturally I wanted to learn more. Been working on it the past few months and having a ton of fun with it. Definitely recommend!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Good stufff
Good stuff
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great Overall Approach
I really enjoy how Lachlans DVDs flow together and build on each other to create an effective outside based game. This was a great purchase!
Very detailed and also more
Very detailed and also more extensive than I expected (not just k guard but an overview of open guards and how k guards fits in).
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent instructional
Excellent content, Lachy explains details in a way that is easy to put into practice straight away.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent tout est bien expliqué.
Excellent tout est bien expliqué.
Gamechanging
Lachlan Innovating As Always!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻K GUARD!
Instructional very useful and helpful. Clear, concise, easy to understand and follow. Highly recommended. Read less
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great!
Great and extensive instructional on K Guard!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Instructional
Lachlan’s K guard series is great! His instructional’s always offer the best value. He’s one of the best at breaking things down to make it super easy to understand!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Lachlan's instructionals are unbiased at all the BEST!!
First and foremost, I've never met Lachlan. I just a 45 year old BJJ brown belt who has been doing BJJ for 10 years, and has amassed a way too large BJJ (and wrestling, striking, self-defense lol) fanatics instructional collection since Jan 2018 lol. I've got 1000s of hours I will probably never even get to. With that said, I have to put over this instructional and everything Lachlan has put out since his Leg Lock Anthology as the very best instructionals of the many great ones that Fanatics has to offer! Lachlan is a great instructor, and you can tell he put a ton of effort and pride into these. The cost is way cheaper then the Danaher guys, and every bit as detailed and thorough with eay less "filler" time. I don't write many reviews even though I purchase a ton, but feel obligated to when it comes to how good Mr. Giles are!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Better value
I love Lachlan's work on this site because it is fantastic value for money, he also seems like a great mix of competitor and coach, and down to earth guy who you want to root for.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great
Great
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Very good
I really like Lachlans approach to teaching. Its not to complicated and not to mutch talking. This one was great for developing my open guard game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻K Guard Newbie
K Guard instructional is broken down in a way that makes it easy to understand the system entry and possible finishing options. Tons of great content to dive into and work on the finer details for months/years.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Gold Standard
Lachlan Giles instructionals are as always the gold standard when it comes to instructionals (together with John Danaher and Gordon Ryan) while offering the cheapest price. With this open guard series being his best instructionals to date giving a clear overview and roadmap of lachlans open guard game with a heavy focus on outside foot position. I would recommend anyone that is even remotely interested in lachlans game to get this volume 1 K-Guard , as it gives a general overview of this series in the introduction with a full overview of his famous K-Guard. Adding and understanding the other 2 volumes after that is very easy and completes your understanding of his game
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻This is the real deal
Well structured instructional which is part of a bigger guard and guard retention construct. Lachlan really helps me improve my guard!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Awesome content
Clear, concise and super easy to follow
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome!
Awesome!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗A game changer for my no-gi open guard
Lachlan does of great job of showing how the position/system connects to other common guards, so it’s relatively straightforward to integrate it into an existing game. Highly recommended.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗very nice!!
very nice!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Worth every penny
Very thorough. Not for beginners, though. Highly recommend it if you are an intermediate grappler.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Lachlan does it again
Just Fantastic. Incredible Organization. A lot of effort was put into this series, and it shows. Very helpful to me for continuing in learning Open Guard Concepts, I had been hungry for K guard instruction!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Valuable resource
Extremely valuable to those who have little experience of playing guard with their feet on the outside. An excellent primer to explore a new system of guard play.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻This instructional is well put
This instructional is well put together as always. I can’t recommend it more
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗fantastic!
!!!
Another killer instructional from Lachlan,
Another killer instructional from Lachlan, i own nearly every one of his as i find his delivery and methods for explaining plus narrated rolls help me more than any others. The quality and quantity of his content always make it a worthwhile purchase
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Revolutionary guard
Lachlan is masterful in his presentation and delivery of his material!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻There is a reason Giles is a giant killer.
Insanely good stuff. Giles’ vids always impress me with the level of detail, and options provided. If you want to develop spider sense his vids are a must. K guard isn’t easy but he breaks it down so completely you can build your game with it with 100% confidence. Game changing video in my book.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Very very good
In my opinion, this seems to be his best DVD yet. He has put a lot of thought and detail into it and has given a very good and thorough high level overview consisting of the different positions you can play.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻
