Game changer
Man this instructional is so good. There are tons of great techniques here that I was able to immediately apply to my game. Most of the techniques also transfer over to the Gi too
Response from BJJ Fanatics😎🤗Highly Recommend
10 hours of great content, encompasses the majority of halfguard concepts, escapes sweeps etc. Can’t go wrong with Lachlan Giles!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The best starting point for improving your half guard game
This was the first instructional I ever purchased and it's still one of the best. Covers almost every half guard position you can think of and is a fantastic reference to revisit. Incredibly well priced at $77.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The Half Guard Anthology By Lachlan Giles
Great instructional Lachlan's attention to detail is amazing. He has so much information in this video that covers not only techniques but trouble shooting your opponents reactions. I constantly re-watch for details I might have missed the first time going through the instructional. Can't recommend this video enough.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻One of the best instructionals you can buy
So its a reference. Whenever something happens in half guard that you don't have an answer for then come to the video for help. Also the editing .... very to the point no endless droning on. We can rewatch it if we choose. If I made a instructional I'd just copy how giles does it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻It’s a really detailed look
It’s a really detailed look at half-guard that has its’ own trouble shooting for common issues built in. I think it is really helping me get my half guard game started.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Lachlan is a great teacher
All of Lachlan's video's are awesome. I've played a lot with half guard but this gave me a whole new set of options. I like his calm and clear way of describing all steps and tricks he uses.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻If I could only have ONE instructional
It would be Lachlan GIles' Half Guard Anthology. It covers so much information and is so densely packed with how to use the half guard to get to other, connected positions. Also, looking back historically, Lachlan gives clear and concise instructions and shows the techniques in sparring. This is without a doubt, one of the most influential instructionals I have ever watched and typically if Lachlan has something to say about Jiu Jitsu, I am listening. Intently.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Fantastic buy
Clear and concise instruction that still manages to cover a wide range of topics/situations. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗ruler of half guard game
This video have a tremendous amount information on half guard. It is amazing!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Excellent Half Guard Tutorial
Lachlan Giles is excellent at explaining how the techniques work as part of his game. I wouldn't say his tutorial is as concept based as, say John Danaher's, but as a teacher I find him more practical. I particularly liked the narrated videos of sparring rounds and sections dedicated to troubleshooting common problems.
Half guard anthology
Lachlan Giles with yet another superb instructional. Very comprehensive. Great details for beginners and more advanced practitioners.
Comprehensive
This is really an excellent instructional. Covers all sorts of half guard scenarios and the rolling footage with commentary really helps to put it together.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great Instructional with so much detail
You can tell Lachlan puts in the time and effort on these instructionals. So much detail but all pertinent information. I also like the live rolling footage as you can see how he applies the techniques when everything is perfect. Would definitely recommend.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Must have
Absolute must have. Lachlan has the best teaching style in the market imo. Plus this is really an anthology, it covers every possible position you can find yourself in. If you're in the market for anything half guard related, look no further.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome detail
Excellent instructional, with detailed explanation of each step
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Exceptional and changed my game
I purchased this as it mentioned deep half and was starting to love deep half. I wasn't really interested in all the dogfight content and it was mostly dogfight. However, after watching the tutorials dogfight slowly became my number 1 position I work towards. I now love playing half guard and this instructional tool dogfight from something I thought was for athletic people to something I can easily do as a bit older out of shape dude. This is by far the most influential instructional on my game to date and really helped my on my journey to purple belt.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great content
Tons of half guard gems laid out in easy to digest videos. Underhook and knee shield details and counters are amazing.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🔥Best instructional
Very comprehensive. It includes how to get to half guard, recover from bad positions, and also alternatives when they stand up like rdlr and sit up guard. 5/5
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Found it very useful
Disclaimer: I have never considered myself much of a half guard player- my background is in wrestling/MMA rather than traditional BJJ, but I still found this course very helpful and informative. I especially liked how in each section, Lachlan spends some time on troubleshooting and fixing common mistakes. I probably won't ever use half as one of my primary guards, but I'm now much more comfortable using it as a recovery/counterattacking position against someone passing my guard.
