I was consistently finding myself
I was consistently finding myself in half guard but I lacked the knowledge of how to properly use the position. The easy to follow instructions, as well as the video examples, helped me to pick up a number of new techniques to try and has allowed me to get a number of submissions from the position while rolling!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Very well versed. Many options
Very well versed. Many options from all forms of half guard.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Half Guard Anthology - Lachlan Giles
At the price this is a steal. Lachlan's instructions are always comprehensive, but clear and to the point.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Wow... That's the gist of it.
For anywhere NEAR the range of 100$, this series is an unbelievable bargain. It's the equivalent of getting a pro-class one-on-one, which can easily cost you 100$ an HOUR. You'll need a willing partner, of course. I can say my half-guard game didn't just improve... It's now the dominant aspect of my game. And I've only watched the first 5 videos! After spending about 8 months going over them in detail, and making it a point to drill at least one of the techniques in every session, my game has transformed. I feel like I can grapple guys at any level and hold my own. This was the missing link; it's the aspect of my game I didn't realize needed so much improvement. Thanks Lachlan, I feel like I still owe you.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Any technique, explanation and instruction
Any technique, explanation and instruction you need is here. Literally the ultimate platform for all grappling. Bar none. You can’t prove me wrong.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Become a half guard assassin
If you wanna be an assassin from the half guard position this is the series for you! Lachlan had a way of breaking down techniques and making them easier to understand. The details make all the difference and this series has no shortage of details. The video quality is good and his teaching approach is excellent!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻great instructional
great and understandable with a lot of good details.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Brilliant
Amazing from start to finish.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Loving the instructional so far, highly recommend it.
This was my first time buying an instructional, I thought it would be the size of a movie or something. It is ten hours long, so you are getting a lot for your money. I am two hours in now and it is an awesome instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Real value of money
Real value of money. This instruction is packed with information. It goes beyond what you expect from half guard instructional. It also covers sit up guard, shin to shin, reverse DLR, dog fight etc. Highly recommend all Lachlan"s instructions! The most completed instructionals on a good price!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Serious bang for your buck!
As a beginner, id say two major pros are: 1) that after the details are explained, the technique is demonstrated with small clips of situational sparing to see how they work live. And 2) that the instructional weaves the half guard position to other closely connected positions (RDLR, sit up guard, X, single X, etc). This promotes a greater understanding of how the position connects to others and is extremely helpful! Great structure. Excellent content. Well worth it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Improved my half guard game right away
Pretty great! It's like a library of half guard techniques and also how to link them together. My half guard improved 100%.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Most Detailed!!!
This is the most detailed instructional I have ever purchased. It covers entries, principles of control, retention, recovery, and transition for 10 different positions within the half guard scenario. It summarizes each position by linking the techniques based upon your opponent’s defensive reactions. I wish all instructionals followed this format. If you are having issues with your half guard as a position to escape, reverse, or control from. I highly recommend this instructional.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Absolutely love the details!
I love that Lachlan covered everything under half guard. His recorded rolling covers the what-ifs, and always circles back to the technique he was showing earlier.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great value
Great value for the detail covered.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Better than most
I've purchased instructionals from Garry Tonon, Craig Jones, Gordon Ryan, John Danaher, jiu jitsu x instructionals, and various other well-respected names. I can tell you with utmost honesty that this instructional might be the best instructional I've ever purchased. I genuinely believe from white straight to black belt you will be able to learn from this instructional. I didn't realize that I knew so little about half guard until I got 4 hours into this instructional. Watch this instructional, actually study it, and I guarantee that half guard will be one of your most confident positions.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great primer on the half

Excellent instructional!!! Great detail and explanations. I play a lot of half guard and his videos have helped me improve a lot! Hours of useful content for a great price!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent
Excellent instructional. This kept me from getting smashed in half guard and provided numerous sweeps from various set ups. The way the material is set up is very systematic as well. Also, he does not waste any time repeating himself. So its is about an hour and a half for each part of just solid instruction with a narrated roll or two thrown in. Incredibly solid work. The content and teaching methodology is the best I have found so far on BJJ fanatics.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Awesome instructional
Really great instructional I've already started using the techniques and my game has improved a lot.

Professor Giles is an outstanding instructor. He explains his half guard techniques very clearly and I am enjoying this video every minute of it!👍�:laughing:
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Best BJJ DVD I own
Best Jiu Jitsu DVD that I own. Really changed my game and helped me go from white to blue. When I first watched it, I was floored that someone would sell so much information publicly. I was thinking "Why would anyone put so much for sale? Doesn't that hurt him as a coach to release so much intellectual property?" I expect to be referencing this again and again, until I'm at least a purple belt, perhaps even after.
Response from BJJ Fanaticshaha 😎Top class instructional!
Really enjoying half guard anthology (and half guard passing anthology) by Lachlan Giles. Lachlan has an amazing approach to teaching. He is a great communicator and forensically breaks down each individual movement and a multitude of expected reactions from the opponent. This makes this overall a very comprehensive instructional with lots of content to keep you busy for a very long time.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Excellent instructional on half guard.
