Lachlan is such a good teacher and explains the smallest details that really make such a difference and matter so much. So good!
very good
Very good instruction
Detailed concept of RDLR from moving to multiple options of positions
Techniques are sound and effective.
Lots of details and very clear with paths you should take
Lots of bang for your buck
Awesome, been doing the R.DLR for a long time. Now I have a wider scope all thanks to the instructional.
Amazing
Informative, love that he uses it alot for 50/50
Damn good details
The giant slayer himself teaching his open guard, need we say more?
This is a great video with a lot of good details that have helped me with my no-gi guard play.
He does a wonderful job explaining all of the details without being redundant or saying unnecessary things.
wonderful nogi guard system
World class entries and finishing mechanics. Really great stuff!
Buckle up for the long haul with this one. Prof Giles gives us another super detailed, comprehensive course on RDLR and leg attacks. Talk about value for money; this course is extremely detailed so pace yourself as there is enough information here to last a lifetime. Truely outstanding course!
very gd.
very good details.
very good details for options.
excellent details on reverse de la riva
Lachlan gives a system for an attacking RDLR which has many great examples and lots of footage to demonstrate it's effectiveness. A great resource!
good
Adding well to my guard attack game
The instructions are great. These move do require that you have a decent amount of flexibility
Want all the leglocks
.
I already play a ton of half/RDLR and leglock, so this was a great addition
I play a lot of half guard but want to start incorporating an open guard system too. Good place to learn from.
I am just getting into RDL and this has been great
Great series from an excellent teacher on K guard, DLR and RDLR. Very in-depth and well-structured.
Lachlan is one of the best coaches for this. If you are trying to learn advanced guards you need a coach who actually understands the material and Lachlan is the right man to learn from.
This is one of those instructional vids that need to be in any serious practitioner's collection. The entire series is fantastic and you could spend many years working on a system from outside guard based on this set alone.
Once again Lachlan delivers another great instructional. Very in depth but doesnt just ramble on. I tend to learn lots of new info from his instructionals and this one about RDLR is no different - great work.
All of Lachlan's stuff is great, modern, covers all considerations needed to make it work.
Perfect explanation for all potisions with live clips and narated rolls, definetly worth the buy
Great content and explanation of the positions. Not something you watch straight through. Its better used as a resource to come back to as you start to play RDLR and leg entanglements. Very easy to navigate through topics and find answers to common problems
awesome
Love it. Great detail on 50/50, 70/30, backside 50/50, and getting there from k guard and rdlr. Great stuff, ties in nicely with the other 2 parts of this series. Refreshing new concepts of outside position guards in no gi if inside position new wave style guards aren't your thing.
Great instructional
Lachlan Giles is a true professor of the sport. Teaches well and in depth.
Very advanced have to come back to it on and off.
important moves to make for someone sddlokg rldr to your gakeb
This is a fantastic instructional. Everything is presented in an organized, step by step fashion.
reverse de la riva to the rescue when people try to knee cut you. Great techinques teached very well
Lachlan is just a pheonomenal instructor. I have his older Half Guard instructional as well and his teaching and details has only improved with time. Looking to add to my RDLR game, and this has absolutely done that!
Very easy top follow for those who are new to positions, whilst also going deeper later in the instructional to aid those who are more advanced
Very good video!
Great instructional from one of the best grapplers in the world. He doesn't omit something in his instructionals. Very detailed.
Really well set out, great details and as you think of a question it's already being answered. Great piece of work on the subject
