Lachlan continues to be one of my favorite instructors. This anthology is formatted well and I love the logical/systematic approach.
Of all the videos on this site, this is the one that is organized best. It is structured to be used as a training tool and an easy to reference when attempts fail in practice. His teaching style is absolutely excellent, and the section of live rolling with his commentary is especially useful. I didn't expect so much depth on the subject of half guard, which is an area of jiu jitsu that has a lot of instructionals, and I wish I had something like this years ago. There is so much more than just half guard in his half guard. It is excellent. Pure gold for the veteran or new competitor. I hope Giles makes a lot more material like this.
There is a ton of material in this video. I love that I can sample sections and build techniques off of one another. Totally worth the price.
This is the best instructional I have. I'm brazilian and have other dvds from bjjfnatics.com.br . Mr. Giles explain with a lot of details and show not only the technique but the full game of the halfguard (how to counter, what to do and how to approach). It is a nogi, however you can easilly adapt the things for the gi. The content and how he display is unique among other dvds out there. A must buy
Superb stuff, a lot of it works with the gi also
Really easy to follow, super detailed, more than just half guard sweeps. Builds your understanding well and also really broken down and signposted well so you can go back to review particular aspects as you try the techniques out.
Super powerful and detailed content, answered so many questions I had and questions I didn’t know I had,
He explains everything to a t and I can adapt it to my nogi game very easily for my body type
I own damn near ever half guard instructional DVD out there. This is by far the best I’ve had the pleasure to order and watch. Professor Giles is an amazing Instructor / Teacher. I will definitely be ordering more instructionals from Professor Giles on BJJFANATICS!! Thank you
Great Tutorial
Lachlan Giles offers up one of the best Half-Guard instructionals money can buy! There is so much content in this instructional that you will be finding something new and different to apply in training for a very long time! It's changed the way I use and view my own Half-Guard and I haven't got passed part 3 of the instructional yet! The troubleshooting section is an excellent addition and so is the live training footage! I would recommend this instructional to all BJJ practioners at all skill levels! It is excellent!
The details are amazing, and his style is outstanding. Thorough with great attention to detail. I like how he strings techniques together, covers mistakes people make on certain moves and he doesn’t repeat himself. The narrated rolls are gold and all things half guard related are covered. Thanks professor!
Super detailed and covered pretty much every situation you will encounter in the half guard.
Lachlan Giles' is a phenomenal coach to learn from. His explanations are clear and concise, while being incredibly detailed. Having done a drop in session at Absolute, and testing my own half guard game against his students, it was clear they all have a great understanding of the position as well. Cannot recommend Lachlan's stuff enough.
Lachlans style of instructional should be the new benchmark. This is not like any other instructional ive seen - the format with troubleshooting details and live rolling breakdowns of every techniques is genius. So much work has gone into this, and for the same cost as instructionals with a fraction of the content and no live rolling... Every scenario is in here. Can't recommend it enough if you're into half guard.
I'm really getting a lot from this instructional series. So much attention to detail here from Lachlan.
I’m seeing immediate results in my half guard game.
Get it now! This is a really good dvd, well explained and easy to understand.
Without a doubt my favorite Half guard DVD!
Get it, you won't be sorry.
すごいボリューム。盛りだくさん。
Lachlan does a great job of explaining the set up and how to execute each move. Without a doubt my favorite person for instructionals!
Incredibly thorough.
Lachie is in top form, as usual. His instruction is always great, and I've found the way the DVD is structured with the detailed index for different positions/techniques lets you basically use it as in encyclopedia, which I found really helpful. The narrated rolls are gold as well. If you're like me and you've dabbled in half guard and want to dive deep, this a great resource.
Great instructional, very thorough
Lachlan Giles is a intelligent and thoughtful grappler. That being said, I don't think there is a avenue left unexplored in his half guard anthology. Buy it!
Great half guard breakdown
Thanks for the detail. Like how you break it down and explain things so simply.
Excellent instructional! Very happy with my purchase.
You can tell that this DVD set was a labour of love for Lachlan Giles.
Lachlan did a really good job covering all the aspects of half guard . Really good DVD
The dvd is awesome as they always are. The shipping was slow I’m assuming due to holidays. Other than that great quality products!
