Great content and well put together. Gordon, Danaher, and Lachlan are the 3 best instructors on bjj fanatics.
good
Love all of Lachlan’s instructionals. Wanted to improve my no GI open guard game. I will also be purchasing parts 2 and 3.
I’ve been training Jiu-Jitsu for 10 years and the world of Jiu-Jitsu has changed so much. Need to stay up to date with the evolution of our sport and Lachlan’s teaching style is great for the more advanced student.
Great instructional vidéo!
Such a great product. I particularly liked the open guard game summary at the start giving a high level over view of what you should be looking for in each position. Really helpful to clarify what your goal is. I already loved and play K guard a good bit but this has really upped my game and options from there
Awesome!
Just generally speaking - Giles’s instructional on any topic are top notch, even if it is a traditional and conservative topic. Having said that - this is an absolute cutting edge game highly adaptable for gi and nogi and is presented, explained and broken down in an outstanding clarity and details. It would not be too much to say that if you care about being on the vanguard of nogi grappleing tech you cannot miss studying this game.
I'm very used to all of Lachlan's instructionals (layout, logic) so this instructional immediately helped in that it is a continuation of his previous 50/50 leglock + guard retention DVD. I was able to pickup details immediately, even in the first 5 minutes of watching. I started with the last (section 8) DVD to get a summary of all the main moves by watching the drills portion first, as well as the narrated rolling to get an overall picture of how this K guard flows. If you're an open guard player in the gi, I highly recommend all of Lachlan's instructional as they all gel together to create a beautiful, fun, flowing game.
