  Lachlan Giles is a fantastic instructor. I've purchased his 'K Guard' and 'Escapes' instructionals, but I personally love 'The Saddle' the most. His demonstrations are so clear and easy to follow!

• The Saddle - Lachlan Giles

  As usual Prof Giles delivers another outstanding course on the saddle. If you ever wanted to learn about this position, I cannot recommend this course enough. Very clear and concise details. The most important thing for me is that the details cover what if scenarios. There is never a perfect situation in BJJ and Prof Giles covers all possibilities when using this technique.

• Typical quality

  I’m a purple, and just started working legs, shame on me I know, and this instructional is typical awesome Lachlan quality. But aside from the awesome structure, good flow, and easy to watch and retain info, I notice Lachlan gave you some stuff to think about, a way to ease I tk the legs and answered some questions before you had them. Not only is the quality top notch it’s just structured in such a way it’s easy to learn.

  The passed couple of months ive been getting into playing the dark arts and felt more comfortable with the saddle.
