One of the best
If you are wanting to explore half guard you really can not go wrong with this set. I have got a lot of half guard sets and this is one of the best out there. What makes it different is after each main technique, lachlan will show you him using it in live sparring or comp. This really helps breakdown the technique in a live roll and the timing needed to use it. Not many sets have this and it makes a big difference in learning. If the amount of techniques this is a whole gameplan for half guard. This set would be my first recommendation.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Lachlin is the best
Lachlin is the best instructional out there for fundamentals. Even as someone who has been doing BJJ for 12 years I always find something new in his videos.

Lachlan’s breakdown of the knee shield half guard completely changed the way I roll. Like a curtain pulled back, and the presentation is excellent.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Amazing
It's the best reference book you can buy. There Are so many teqniques with proper explanation in it, but also so many transition and game plans. You need quite the patience to get through with it and don't feel lost. The price for is more than fair. One of my best purchases
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Everyone should own this
Almost more of an open guard strategy than what people would think of as half guard. Took my guard game from subpar to one of the best in the gym. I particularly liked the shin to shin entries and options. The breadth of content including narrated rolls shows that Lachlan truly loves to teach and has a wealth of knowledge. The price point versus value is better than all of the other 30ish instructionals I’ve purchased, since most are either very pricey or skimpy on the content. Again, everyone should buy this - thank you Lachlan Giles for leveling up my game.
