I can recommend all of Lachlan's Material. I often come back and pick up something new.
Lachlan's is always great. I'm using this DVD for year's and I'm still learning.
Like the title says, Half Guard Anthology, it truly is just that. Everything from the half guard you can think of (set ups, indicators, step by step, counters, counter to the counter, trouble shooting) is in here. Just a video encyclopedia of everything Half-Guard. And it is set up nicely & easy to look for whatever you need tips on regarding Half-Guard positions.
I could have solved some problems
Love the structure of this instructional.
Watch with a partner to practice all the stuff that is shared phenomenal instructional. thank Lachlan.
Enjoyed it!
Great and complete breakdown of the half guard. I especially like the commented live rollings, where Lachlan points out details which I otherwise would miss.
A great collection with lots of details. Not to much repetition which I like. Lachan has some commented live rolls where he points out critical details (that determines why some techniqes work or does not work) which is a great completement.
Overview of most (if not all) half guard scenarios and their high percentage attacks in an easy to understand way. Lachlan is a great instructor
I'm a 2 stripe white belt and was unsure about buying a course so early in my journey. However it has been amazing with such detail that I know I will be using it for years. Not to mention how it has already helped my game, Lachlan provides way more than you could expect under the title of halfguard. I have become more offensive from seated, understanding grips and distance when using various techniques, as well as troubleshooting and live roll footage. It's an amazing guide with lots of quality material.
Good info!
helped my half gaurd game tremendously
This was the first instructional I purchased as I was heading into my blue belt and it helped me alot transition in to playing a guard game. I have purchased a few other instructional since then but I still always go back and re hash and add bits and tweek them into my game.
really improved my game!
I've never watched Lachy content that isn't too notch. this is no different. great stuff from start till end.
Great breakdown of half guard principles and entries.
Loads of information in one place, alot of sweeps and live rolling demonstrations
Really in depth coverage of bottom half and other guards. Maybe the best instructional for a begginer to start studying the bottom game
Great instructor with great detailed explanations.
This is a really good instructional as it teaches the intricancies of playing half guard. As an older hobbyist, half guard works so well as it can be used for offens, defense, and to stall :)
:muscle:😊👍�
Mr. Giles has done something special here in that he shows the techniques during rolls. Its so helpful. I will definitely pick up more of his stuff.
There is so much stuff to go through here. Well worth it. The recovery from bad positions is especially useful. The way he films himself using the techniques in training is very helpful.
Lachlan always gives you plenty of details, positioning himself as one of the best teachers in the bjj world.
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
good

Easy to follow instructions with common faults, live showcase and great beeakdown of uses. Thank you Mr Giles.
Helped me a lot improving my game. Goes over all important concepts and does a lot of troubleshooting for the most common situations
I love the app, still waiting for it to be available on fire TV
excellent value
There is so much in this instructional that half would be enough! I have gained a great understanding of the half guard as a whole. And it is very well put together so that you can easily find what thing you are looking for. Because it is vast in scope and in knowledge.
Lachlan is one of the top grapplers of our time. The instructions are clear and concise. The skills you take away from this series will translate into a lifetime of success. Money well spent again at BJJFanatics!
Lachlans instructionals are excellent, you can’t go wrong. Very well organized, great details, clear communication. I especially like how this instructional has slow motion replays at the end of a section, it really helps anchor in the details. Good live roll breakdowns. I’m loving this as I recover from ACL injury, this will be my system as I return. Highly recommend.
Lachlan Giles is a genius.
Got this as a white belt and completely started dominating all other white and blue belts at the gym with these techniques
Incredibly explained done very methodically
Strongly recommend
Very good! clear well set out easy to follow and covers all the problems that you might have playing half guard
without a doubt the best instructional ive used attention to detail is enormous. i watch half an hour or so then go and try oput the moves in class and have seen the most change in my game from any lessons

Engaging instructional covering a range of scenarios and demonstration of use in live rolling.
Each variation of half guard is explained well with problem solving and live rolling examples. What really helped me was seeing how the different types of half guard connect to and reinforce each other. Highly recommend for anyone that plays half guard.
Lachlan gives you a crazy amount of knowledge for a ridiculous price. A steal. If I would recommend one instruction on the whole site (value per money) it should be this one.
