The reviews

• Everything you need

  I think this armbar instructional covers all the information you need. Lachlan explains everything incredibly well, and it’s easy to follow even for a beginner like myself. I also really appreciate the sections that show you what to do when someone defends in a specific way. This makes it easy for a beginner like me to train different scenarios. All in all, a very solid instructional!

• Another good instructional!

  One thing I like is shorter transitions between segments than his open guard instructional. As usual, comprehensive and detailed. Especially like the shoulder crunch and Choi bar material

• Everything you could possibly want to know anoit armbars.

  Lachlan is an excellent instructor and covers all the techniques down to the smallest details. His anthology are a little different from normal instructionals because it's not meant to be watched all the way through. More like "Here is the basic techniques. Now if you run into this scenario, come back for the answers." An absolute ton of info for the money. Buy it.
