Good to know half guard well especially for newer players

Good insight into passing no gi half guard
I spend loads of time in halfguard, and this helps me figure it out and refine my plan for it!
Lots of information
The amount of information in this instructional is insane, to the point where I wouldn't recommend it for a lower belt. I have used a few sections and it's been helpful but it is so overwhelming that it's hard for me to make it one I really focus on. It will be one I plan to come back to later on, and I'm sure it will be super helpful then, but for a white belt, I'd recommend a simpler instructional to not overwhelm you first.
This is the best guard passing instructional I’ve watched.
Tons of info, all great…very thorough
Really helped my half guard
nice
very good
Outstanding course and a top-level resource for No-Gi guard passing. Lachlan Giles breaks down the half guard with exceptional clarity, making complex concepts easy to understand and immediately applicable. The progression is logical, every detail is purposeful, and the teaching method is extremely effective. A high-quality instructional for building a solid, modern, and intelligent passing game. Highly recommended.

Excellent details on guard passing
I guess it's like most of Giles' instructionals. There's so much information, it's a lot to process (by design - his anthologies are supposed to be more like a reference work: pull it off the shelf and look up what you need). But his explanations are incredibly helpful, and as always, the narrated roles offer such a helpful model.
Giles is one of the best instructors out there. As with all of his videos, this is very thorough and well-explained. Giles offers many options to reliably and easily pass half guard.
構造が理解できました。
absolutely amazing detail
Half guard can be terribly frustrating to pass. This can help immensely.
So beautiful instructional with so much details. Lachlan is a master.
Once I figured out how to navigate the table of contents and made sense of it. This is an amazing instructional that covers so many different variations of half guard
Compared to 99% of the other instructionals, lachlan giles ones are really really comprehensive like a real course not just a single lesson
This video will be a great template to elevate my personal game and my instruction for others! Thank you for such a detailed breakdown.
