I have many instructionals from Lachie. He is excellent in his instruction and is very clear and super detailed. It is hard to find a more comprehensive instructor.
Hands down best teacher (Reddit confirmed)! Honestly this video is amazing!

This instructional is brilliant. Lachlan manages to answer pretty much all you questions about passing half guard.
Great instructional as with all of Lachlan's videos. He is by far my favorite instructor as he always in depth but easy to follow and understand. I am successfully implementing some of this immediately after watching the instructional. Would highly recommend

Lachlan created another amazing instructional, this time focused on top halfguard. The video goes through all types of positions you can get into and provides very useful instructions and tactics in a big detail. You can use this material for long time before you can sort of learn everything.
Like usually Lechlan instructional are superB, not just the highly detailed techniques but the fundamental understanding of things behind the scenes
Very detailed and exceptional half guard stuff
This is the video to watch with half guard anthology
great content
More than half guard passing
this is first video to watch
Mr. Giles' videos have probably the best quality/price ratio! Tons of content, very detailed, very deep. It is something that you need to come back to many, many times. But it just keeps on giving. The best thing about Mr. Giles' videos are the troubleshooting parts. You not only get to know a clean technique like in most other instructionals but you will get an understanding of the problems you may encounter, the different reactions that your training partners can offer you and how to cope with them. Very highly recommended!
Great approach towards allowing me to get around the frames of half guard and pass.
very detailed and specific
huge amount of content clearly explained

Lachlan does an excellent job of providing detailed and complete information and techniques. His unique format makes it easy to add the concepts to your overall game easily.
