Always been a fan of Lachlans style, his open guard instructionals have become my bible.
It’s good solution for DLR guard player with Nogi.
Excellent content by a world-class competitor and instructor!
lachlan raised the bar of the instructionals, on a teaching and technical standpoint. simply awesome
Even as a black belt having trained for 12 years I’ve picked up some great tips from this instructional. Giles (teacher) demos from lots of different angles so you understand where all the moving parts are. Most of the content can apply to your gi game also so it’s a very versatile system.
Lachlans Instructional are pure Gold

All of Lachlan's work is fantastic, he brings some entirely unique details that are proven at the highest level.
Great instructional! Really helped with my De la riva guard.

Very detailed and well paced walk through of this system. Not overly complex and easy to follow along.
Lachlan Giles leg system is amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone trying to improve their game. I have been having a lot of success with his material and love the way he breaks down all the positions and responses the your opponent has and how deal with those. Great videos to watch and some of the best instruction.
The layout of the videos clearly demonstrates how to perform each technique.
Clear and concise, great details
great content and great teacher, if you don't speak english don't worry australian accent is better than american accent
Great Instructional grate details took my open guard to next level
I love all of Lachlan’s instructionals.
Great Job! Good explanation as always. Smooth introduction & overview. Well structered System througout the whole Series!
I love professor Lachlan
Great
great
Excellent instructions
Although I will admit that I was holding off on Lachlan’s Nogi Open Guard course at first, (love his material but I’d Just gotten Danahers), when Volume 2 dropped I reviewed the topics and it immediately peaked my interest. And man did it deliver. The breakdowns of the Leg Entanglements from DLR and pathways to the back… not to mention that I wasn’t very well versed in the Waiter Sweeps… this course is pure Gold! And if you follow Lachlan you know as an instructor he is one of the elite. Chapter 7 was my favorite but overall every chapter is money. This is a must have!
A great instructional that will further add to your game.
I have all of lachlan giles videos thanks for the lessons
First off let me say I've never met Lachlan, so this isn't a gushing review from one of his students. I'm just someone who has purchased way too much from BJJ fanatics - probably thousands of hours I'll never even get around to watching lol. With that said, I will continue to get Lachlan Giles instructionals. His Leg Lock Anthology and the 1st 2 Volumes of his open guard series are the among the best BJJ instructionals ever IMHO. I'm sure his 3rd volume is as well, and can't wait to purchase it in the future. Thanks for the work put in, and sharing so much Lachlan 👊�, Oss!!
Love how systematized this instructional is, and it shows every response for every given scenario you'll find yourself when plying De La Riva! Also gotta love the customer friendly pricing of Lachlan's instructionals!!
All around great instructional!!
I am happy to get all the various positions for DLR/RDLR/Waiter/etc all discussed coherently as a system, and the reasons for plaything that game vs an primary inside game.
Great instructional video!
Lachlan has the best online instructionals I've seen so far. For me, it's the right amount of information and pacing.
love it and only into seated in the first section. very well broken down and explained. this brings top notch coaching to those who don't have world class coaching at a reasonable price. 👍� thank you!
Lachlan is the best instructor on the site.
This is the no gi instructional for gi players. If you want to know how to adjust your DLR/bolo/waiter/backtake moves in the gi to no-gi, this is it!
