great
Most complete instructional about half guard without a doubt. It helped me build an entire system around it. Everything is very well organized and should be the reference for other instructionals. The fact that it also has sparring footage makes this a must buy.
No fluff, just the essentials.
Great video!!
Lachlan Giles with his known teaching style on going a lot over trouble shooting and adressing every possibility that can happen takes on passing half Guard
good instruction!! I like his video.
I love passing from half guard, and this thoroughly comprehensive instructional definitely has an answer to just about every issue you may run into while passing HG.
I really like Lachlans teaching!
👍�
Lachlan shows in over 10 hours content, on what aspects you have to concentrate when you want to pass the half guard. He's a very good teacher because he shows not only a couple of fancy techniques. He rather draws your attention on the principles you should follow.
Magisterial in scope and generous in terms of content. Cheap at twice the price!
It's very detailed, easy to understand, and shows what to do in each situation. Coach Giles also goes over every possible situation and ways to handle that situation and back up plans to handle that situation. Coach explains everything in a way that anyone can understand and then use to help their game.
Great instructional with a lot of helpful details!
Another great instructional by a great teacher. Lachlan knows exactly how to explain things that you get it with great detail but not overwhelming
Absolute gold, changed my game!!
Amazing teaching and awesome roll sections
Very detailed approach to different passing positions
I've struggled with passing half guard against more experienced opponents since I started, but the details in this instructional made it much clearer where I was going wrong and how to address those problems
I love Lachlan's instructionals. This one is a must-have. It's extremely comprehensive and well organized. The smash pass instructional and Sao Paulo pass by themselves would be worse the cost of the instructional. I like how concise and clear his instructions are. The camera angles and sound are good. And the narrated rolling footage is also very helpful to see.
lachlan explains very clear and straightforward. as always, a lot of content
Love his instructional. Very detailed and has overview of techniques at the end. I also love his narration for live rolling.
Situations with many opportunities to use in actual battle. You can master the basics
Awesome content with clear instruction. Really helped me develop my half guard passing.
Lachlan remains the gold standard for me in the world of instructional videos. Clear and in depth teaching style.
Fantastic very detailed instructional
Great tool to come back to after a hard roll against a half guard player because well explained and well divised.
anything Lachlan Giles will help with addressing spect issues your having.
Lachlan always delivers the best explanations and amount of details regarding techniques.
I love how this is structured and all the detail it has. I keep going back to it. This has been critical in me developing my halfguard game
Excellent tutorial!
Extremely comprehensive and well explained - I will 100% be implementing these ideas in my passing
His instructionals help me so much and it provides a comprehensive way to learn as you can look up exactly what is not going right when you try to apply the techniques.
Does a great job of explaining concepts and moves. Will be on the lookout for more from Lachlan in the future
Lachlan is a great instructor. He is also great on his submeta.io, He explains the concept clearly, in small chunks, and elaborates the technic in its alternative options. I would recommend it as well as his half guard anthology.
Giles is the gold standard for quality instruction for the price.
Like other instructionals from Lachlan Giles - an incredible value with awesome details and tons of variations.
Lachlan’s game passing half guard. I used to only train Gi and picked this up after being lost without collar grips. Now I feel WAY better about half guard passing Nogi. Goes over almost every half guard passing situation. There might be better half guard passing instructionals out there, but like always Lachan puts out quality instruction at good cost value.
Lachlan Giles always delivers great instructionals full of details, breaking down the techniques so you don't miss anything. A must-have.
Lachlan Giles is a master presenter his way of explaining concepts just makes jiujitsu more transferable than just a review of techniques.
I watched this series probably three times over and will definitely watch it more. It expands your knowledge and gives immediate results. There is so much information, you could train it specifically for months.
This is another great video the Lachlan has done. Very insightful on passing half guard. A must to add to your arsenal. This won’t disappoint. This series is very detailed and easy to watch and understand.
Lachlan goes over a lot of content and shows all the little details of how things work. Not only is there a lot of info, but it is also organized really well so you can go back and troubleshoot any problems you have. This is the gold standard for instructionals.
I already have the half guard anthology. By providing a passing anthology as well, it becomes a complete system of half guard both top and bottom game. Very clear, concise and exact explanations. I am very pleased with all my insctructioanal purchases from Lachlan!!!
Excellent for learning the fundies
Always struggled with half guard passing and this fit the bill. Amazing instructional!
Easy to understand. Also it works better if you try to understand the concept.
Great video. Lachlan may be one of the most thorough, detailed instructors I've come across. Also translates well to gi training.
A very good instructional on padding half guard. It have made a huge difference for my passing game. And as always Lachlans productions are great.
I love the way Lachlen teaches he gives some much information and breaks it down is sections, so you have a solutons for whatever your opponent does. Great instructional. 5*
The structure behind this series is amazing, and has made my passing much better.
