Lachlan Giles is one of the best BJJ instructors in the world and his DVDs are no different
This is awesome
One of my favorite instructors and he doesn't disappoint here either.
Nice detail and thorough. Breaks it down in a way that's easy to build drills off.
Would highly recommend! As usual, Lachlan gives you heap of information to digest. The DVD covers passing all variations of 1/2 guard.
Truly an anthology! I have been studying this for a few months. I'm not getting swept as much, and have a better understanding of positional hierarchy. Tons of troubleshooting methods in here.
Very detailed explanation and I always learn a lot with Lachlan videos.
Lachlan is a terrific teacher.
Very thorough series. If you want to really understand the methodology and not just the mechanics you are studying then Lachlan’s videos are for you. The series also really does function as an anthology as you can easily problem solve positions you need to work on as the video structure makes it easy to find what you need to address. Highly recommended.
Huge volume with a lot of great detail by a top notch bjj pro!
Its the best :ok_hand:
What a great learning experience !! It way it’s taught I’m learning from both perspectives those little details I’ve missed
Guard passing anthology has been a game changer for sure. I’m definitely more comfortable passing guard and have a boost of confidence when playing the top game. I’m more of a gi player than no gi but the concepts Lachlan lays out I’ve found to be transferable to gi. Awesome product and will be getting your z guard instructional next. Got my blue belt few weeks after purchasing this.
These series are awesome. I like the wteacher's way of approach to the half guard and explanations are easy to understand. The digital content is well constructed audio format and video.
Lachlan did a great job on this series, he’s a great teacher and I’ll be buying more of his content in the future. Great style, great attitude and his personality makes the content not feel boring.
Well structured package that works really well as recommended: Rather a reference and technique library than a watch through video. I can see myself coming back to this for reminder of full concepts as well as specific details. Highly recommended to students of all levels.
The amount of info as well and the depth is amazing. Lachlan answers any potential questions you might have and is informative while still being clear and concise.
A tremendous amount of information taught in an easy to understand way. A must have for all looking to improve their BJJ game.
Well organized, easy to follow, and presented at an ideal pace. There is an overwhelming amount of content, so it's a good value. But you'll need to spend a lot of time if you want to absorb it all.
So worth it ! Highly detailed ! Each dvd is about 1hr. Unlike some dvds that's are only 15 mins long. So you are getting a lot a value for your investment !!#
I'm just digging into this one, but like your other video, I'm really impressed with the strait forward way that information is relayed. I really like the details and the humor in the videos. I've been practicing for a while and I really like the way that teaching has evolved over the years.
Great series for all levels. Well explained explanations and breakdowns. Great value.
A thorough collection of half-guard passing moves, concepts and techniques, well explained and executed. Recommended!
Superb! Lachlan's style of teaching is faultless.
The way Lachlan Giles breaks down passing half guard nothing short of amazing. His style of teaching makes it so easy to learn and pick up details you may have missed. Aaron C.
This is how all instructionals should be done. Concepts, techniques, troubleshooting and setups! How to use and quick reference. One best instructional on the market!
The Half Guard anthology by Lachlan Giles is superb when it comes to giving many options playing the Half Guard game. It is a large instructional video series with multiple volumes that give detailed, easy to understand information that will help improve your Half Guard. Takedowns from the Sit Up Guard, Sweeps from Half Guard, Some X Guard. This series is deep you won't be disappointed.
This is the best half guard instructionnal you will get!!!! Just awesome
If you improve your guard passing, I reccomend you it.
Excellent!
Lachlan is a walking bjj encyclopedia. My passing game improved massively. I wish him to visit South Korea someday for a seminar. Oss.
A great guide to passing half guard.
Lachie Giles is one of the best instructors around and obviously passionate about teaching. I’ve been going through the instructional slowly and have already been able to practice some of the components with good degrees of success.
Excellent content from Lachlan as always. Very well thought out, detailed instruction that is easy to follow.
Great instructional! HG passing game has improved tremendously.
Lachlan Giles is an excellent teacher, and has a real passion in transmitting his knowledge the best way possible. This dvd is not just a succession of scenarios of guard passing, but more like a way of understanding this art with the maximum science possible. There is also ways of consolidating sidemount, mount and rear mount. Very good.
I've bought his high percentage no gi dvd and his half guard anthology as well. He first hooked me on his youtube free content. His teaching style and DVD structure is hands down the best - its like he can read your mind on the questions youre going to ask in your head to the technique or concept, then answers it. Definitely my favourite teacher in the jiu jitsu world. And him being a fellow aussie is a plus! He is super humble as well always willing to help out if you're stuck in your game. I bought his DVDs at white belt and 3 years into jiu jitsu I'm still constantly going back to refer to sections of his DVDs. Really looking forward to the next 2 instalments of his passing game - more keen on these it than game of thrones.
Great Job, clear explanations, « linking the techniques » is a very good Idea!
