Nice mix of techniques and concepts. Progression through the chapters are well thought out and easy follow. Sections showing how the techniques and concepts are applied in action is really good. Still getting used to trying them but feel like my guard has improved
very helpful
wonderful guard retention
awesome
A Must
Incredible instruction. Details to stop the pass both early and late. Instantly usable. Tips on stretching. Slow motion replay so you don’t have to. Taught in a relaxing manner. No fluff.
This retention instructional by Lachlan Giles is phenomenal. Lachlan does a great job of explaining the layers of the guard and what should be prioritized as your opponent is working towards guard passes going through the legs at close range. I was able to improve my ability to create distance and set up attacks from an open guard position while keeping my opponent at bay. 10/10 would recommend.
Great training implement. Great addition to my game
great
