Great video. Lots of insightful details Lots of great details.
As always, Lachlan releases a thorough product. Great addition to my library.
Pretty good details and lots of technique. Kimura grip has become of my main ways to attack.
As always with Lachlan there is so much to take in, don't think you will watch this all in one go and think you can take it in, you will have to come back to this time and time again, Excellent stuff.
Amazing anthology that really sets up all the uses and troubleshooting for Kimuras
Great pace of instruction, easily searchable division into topics, very thorough. Wholeheartedly recommended!
Not only is it very thorough, it is also very to-the-point, easy to follow and navigate. Great stuff!
Best kimura dvd
Lachlan provides an extensive instructional on the kimura as the position and what you can achieve with it. Very complete and effective.
You will not be able to stop seeing kimuras off the mat. You have been warned. Thank you, Lachlan for your hard work
Big Details with multiple 1.5-2hr sections
Love it
The details on maintaining the hold to eliminate the escape is worth the price
The little details given in securing the grip and maintaining the position is worth the money alone.
lachlans the best teacher hands down
good enough
very good material to learn.
Another excellent instructional by Mr. Giles, helped my game tremendously
Very in-depth instructional on the kimura. Lachlan starts with the basics and goes into more advanced applications to include using the gi when applicable.
enough details to keep you coming back to this volume for months
Like all Lachan Giles series, he couvre all the informations with great details.
great details
Lachlan Giles explains stuff very well, and the instructional is really thorough and covers almost everything about the kimura!
Not overly wordy but still thorough and detailed. Clear and concise explanations of the positions and finishes for the kimura.
The tutorial have impoved my skills.
Good. I’ve really enjoyed how in depth the video and training is. I feel like I am getting my money’s worth (with the use of discounts). I’m excited and looking forward to learning more from the instructions. Jesus died for your sins. God Bless.
I'm only half way through and already I've seen so much and in great detail. The way the course is laid out is great too. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who hates shoulders.
Exactly the details needed. Lachlan gives you all the necessary details in an easily understandable manner. outstanding
Lachlan Giles knows his stuff, and his student being in the final of CJI proves he also knows how to tech it! This is a great instructional!
as usual good
Everything you need to know to become a master of the kimura. Kimura is not only a great submission but also a great control system and sweep mechanic. Lachlan gives you the tools to dominate with the Kimura. Highly recommend
Lachlan keeps putting out some of the best jiujitsu content available online. The Kimura Anthology by Lachlan Giles does not disappoint. He displays, demonstrates and explains a long range of options and the attention to details is the best.
Tons of details!! thanks you Mr. Giles keep the good level!!!
Ready to buff my kimura skills!
Can't go wrong with Lachaln. He's is by far my favourite instructors on this app. The level of detail and love he puts in his work is nothing short of amazing! Buy everything he has, you will not regret it!
Everything Lachlan does is very easy to understand and implement. He covers micro movements better than most instructors, and gives good examples in gi and nogi.
great
Lachlan is a genius when it comes to giving the details needed to overcome common problems faced.
Lachlan's content is great
Danaher teaches you how to kimura, Giles teaches when to kimura

This is a great source to refer to time and time again. Very unlikley that you'll watch the whole thing end to end, but there's likley to be a time that you want to introduce / polish a type of kimura and this is great to refer to.
Love it, especially the T-Kimura instructional! Some of the little details have been very helpful in improving my game. I teach what I am learning from Lachlans instructional to my 11yr old son and he loves practicing it at the gym.
One of my favorite instructors
❤️️
good
One of my favourite instructional and instructor for sure.. full of details and this one is special for me because it is partiality got my brown belt :laughing: thx
I love using the kimura but sometimes struggle getting the finish. Covering these basic details is changing how I'll approach it in the future.
If you're really serious about studying the kimura, then look no further. This is 10 plus hours of content and all the nuts and bolts. Enter the rabbit hole. Lots of good content.
