This is the greatest video to learn open guard.
lachlan is no doubt one of the best with leg entaglements really enjoying this video
Started with the k guard instructional and it was so great I expanded to the whole bundle. Definitely worth the buy!
So much stuff to learn and very well explained
While all the open guard leg entanglements can seem like gordian knots to a white belt beginner, this course is very step by step and thorough, teaching you pretty much everything you need to know!
i can understand what to do in bottom game
Lachlan goes into great detail explaining all the open guards
please stop these ******* popups
Lachlans thoughts on inside vs outside position are very interesting. I have gotten a lot from his sections on K Guard
Lachlan puts out the best videos, i decided to get the bundle and its gonna take a while to get through all the content. Like always plenty of details. Just watch a chapter, drill, refer back to video if you need to trouble shoot then go to the next chapter
The topic of guard is always a fantastic one in my opinion. I love the material because I can implement them right away. These are most of the types of guards that I play in No-Gi. I love the details and tweaks I can implement to fix the holes in my game. So many things I can now drill to fix the mistakes. Thank you for this.
The set of instructionals make for a great system that was so well explained in great details that I could put to use very quickly.
A pretty good guide to how find your way into the open guard with different type of guards with the pros and cons.

Lachlan does a great work breaking down and explaining different guards and how and when to use them.
Dollar to hour of instructional is unreal! you get a seriously detailed bang for your buck with countless options. A great alternative to danaher/ryan videos!
Lachlan plants himself firmly at the top of the teacher's podium and likely will never be toppled. He delves into each and every detail you need to expand your ideas into these areas. On top of this he structures the videos in a way thag you can navigate to wherever you feel you need work and start from there. No fighting to find that one certain 5 minute concept in a 40hr instructional
Great instructional covering every single position and reactin of the open guard. I found the K guard ideas applicable both 8n my nogi and fi game.
He is good teacher
I felt stuck playing defense for so long on the bottom before watching this course. Super good material
Superb technical detail.
If you want to play or understand this style of grappling, then this instructional is essential.
This No Gi No Gi Open Guard Bundle by Lachlan Giles has a ridiculous amount of amazing content. Lachlan is a master at teaching BJJ techniques and tactics. It will certainly take a long time to fully digest this material to use against your opponent. Once you can combo these various styles of open guard, you will develop a much more complete open guard game transitioning from one position to the next.
Lachlan is simply the best teacher and breaks everything down in such detail but still easy to follow. Great instructional.
Exceptional detail. Fantastic value for money. Can’t go wrong with this
I keep coming back to these videos. There’s just so much information. absolutely improve my guard.
Great attention to detail and so much to learn!
Top Tier Instruction
as seen in adcc
Very easy to understand and learn.
I love Lachlan's videos. Learned so much. BTW, I know it's easy to get these from a friend instead of buying them, but in my experience, being able to navigate the content and jump back and forth to the spots you want to review, or resume where your left off from another device is a big deal and has actually helped me to get through the many hours of content. Not to mention supporting the guys who we learn so much from. Totally worth every cent.
Lachlan is a great teacher and structures his content with care and attention to detail. It's high quality instruction.
I really love playing K Guard and this instructional has definitely helped me improve my game thanks to clear and detailed explanations! Giles Lachlan is certainly one of the best instructor!
This bundle is a great deal as all of the topics on his no gi open guard series are included here, no need to go back and forth on each of the instructionals. As always, Lachlan is one of the great teachers of jiu jitsu because the systems that he teaches are always complete. From every concept, technique, combo or reversal, you can be sure that Lachlan has covered them all.
amazing teacher and amazing run through of open guard!
Lachlan is a brilliant teacher with extensive knowledge shared generously throughout every section of this series. Open guard is a vast topic unique to the core of jiu-jitsu. I was not disappointed.
It goes through his system that he used to do well in ADCC
Unbelievable how much information is in this video Will take a life time to unpack it all so much value here I’m a huge fan of how Mr. Giles lays out his instructionals I own several of his and they have helped me Immeasurably
Amazing
Really helped expand my guard game. I really like Lachlan's teaching style.
This bundle has really improved not just my no-gi open guard but my entire understanding of the open guard no-gi meta. It's a very long instructional and you'll have to be very patient with yourself to make all of the stuff work. I took a really big step down when I started trying to implement all of this in live rolls but once I got the movements down, it completely changed my game.
Deep dive into an open guard system. Very much worth the money.
Real good combo of good techniques, how to best idé them and a way to explain that is really a mix of professional and Laos back that fits me perfekctly
Major improvements to my game from this bundle
For those looking for developing their no-gi gameplan, it is a very relevant product!

As always with Lachlan's stuff, he is very detailed in all of his explanation to not just teach you the moves but also why you do them, what your opponent is likely to do and how to counter their counters. All 3 of the main sections of this tie together and give you a whole system to start using and chaining together. This also pairs well with his guard retention work so if you start going for these attacks, lose position, and start getting passed, you have a good system of recovery to get back to your offensive positions. Most of this system enables you to directly attack the back and get in to leg entanglements to sweep or attack the legs. Even if you aren't a big leg lock player, you can still get a lot out of how he used k-guard, DLR, and RDLR to expose and attack the opponents back. He adds so many simple details can add to even experienced grapplers.
