Amazing instructional for people who play outside leg positioning like DLR & K guard.
Thorough, methodical, clear explanations and great content
This instructional is a great resource for understanding open guards that I have used to great effect
I purchased this bundle to strengthen my nogi guard play and I am really enjoying it so far! Not only is this great information, but the bundle is structured as a cohesive system rather than 3 separate guards. I was able to start implementing techniques and strategies immediately.
Absolutely amazing masterpiece easily understandable
Soooo much info. This will be a resource throughout an entire BJJ career. Lachlan is one of my favorites.
Open guard is such an expensive topic. IMHO as a beginner, the Instructional does a phenomenal job distilling it into a logical step wise curriculum to supplement your training. I find that It’s well organized and provides effective and pertinent suggestions. I’m a light heavyweight, more comfortable with top game, and was hopeless at open guard before finding this instructional. I’ve been using it as a framework to guide in-class drilling during open mat for the past six months. Recently, my coaches have been complementing me on the significant improvements already in my open guard game. It also feels much more fun now. Highly recommend!
Great instructional really good value for money
Very detailed and insightful, a must buy!
achlan Giles connects every major no-gi open-guard position into one smooth system. Super clear teaching and tons of detail on K Guard, RDLR, and 70/30. Worth every minute if you want modern leg-entry and sweeping skills.
It's simple. Giles bundle = buy and 💯 percent profit 💰. Thanks, Lachlan
Moves I absolutely try to implement in my game
Kガードについて理解が深まりました。
Really changed my K guard and DLR game. What more can you ask for? Go get it now! What are you waiting for?
👍
Clear, detailed instruction from Lachlan Giles that made the De La Riva and waiter guard actually click for me. The techniques are practical and easy to plug into rolling. Great value if you play open guard in no-gi.
Absolutely love all of Lachlan's instructional. It's super in depth but at the same time incredibly well structured. And his style of explaining the positions and attacks just click for me
Great bundle that can seamlessly be used together to create an expert guard
Amazing detail.
