• Eye candy and thorough

  A well structured and thoughtful study. Perfect for learning and applying techniques or coming back after rolling to learn what you or your enemy could do.

• Great instructional

  I appreciate how to the point these are, while still covering a million variants. If you want to know what to do and why to do it in half guard, but don't need help going to sleep, this is for you.

• Best break down on a instructional

  Lachlan breaks down the instructional with a section “putting it together” where basically his thought when an opponent does a, b, c and it’s the really helpful for remembering position

• Everything I needed to develop my half-guard

  Broad definition of the half-guard to cover a great number of situations and link them together. Great realistic techniques both for defense and offense, excellent details, nice addition of commented live roles to illustrate them. The techniques are linked: when one fails (because of the reaction of your partner), another becomes available. I highly recommend.

  Excellent instructor doesn't skip any steps

  Matthew G.November 2, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt4-6 yrs training

• Helping me in my most common position.

  This instructional has really improved the direction of my half guard. It has new school approaches to elicit the response I feel strong with that opponent with. Getting back up, controlling the legs, taking side or mount, and subbing from my comfort zone. Lachlan put so much content in this anthology. Give it a try.

  David C.November 1, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlue belt4-6 yrs training

• Great instructional

  I really like the live rolling footage. It's great to see the technique applied realistically.

  Matthew B.November 1, 2025United StatesVerified buyerWhite belt1-3 yrs training

• Half Guard level up!

  A blend of conceptual and technique based approach to half guard. The trouble shooting sections were perhaps the most beneficial so far. Definitely worth it as an instructional and one I will be coming back to for years to come.

  Incredibly detailed!

  AnonymousOctober 19, 2025SwitzerlandVerified buyerBlack belt13-15 yrs training

• beyond the halfguard

  You can learn beyond the half guard. This instructional is only named Half Guard. However, it shows almost every guard technique you can do from the bottom. By just hooking one leg, you can use and defend against various techniques. It's a long instructional with many techniques. It will take a lot of time to master, but once you become proficient, it will give you the skill to upgrade a belt level.
