Sale page: Lachlan Giles – The Half Guard Anthology

Come and learn one of the world’s most important guards from one of the world’s best instructors. LACHLAN GILES – HALF GUARD ANTHOLOGY MMA, is back with BJJ Fanatics to show one of his best positions, the offensive half guard that he uses to win tons of tournaments at the world black belt level.

Lachlan is an IBJJF World No Gi Championships medalist, a Pan Pacific champion (gi and no gi, weight class and absolute), and a multiple time ADCC veteran, and he does it with a slick, technical style that is a thing of beauty. It’s time to turn your half guard from a place where you just hold on and hope for better and into a dominant and offensive position where you can sweep or submit anyone, even people bigger, stronger, and more explosive than you.

It might sound a little nuts, but when he’s on bottom, Lachlan actually wants to be in half guard! Instead of relying on closed guard, or one of the more committed guards like De La Riva, he has made a competitive career out of using his half guard to isolate one side of the body and attack it systematically.

By combining this position with a few of his own innovations, he has made what some consider a bad position into a dangerous and tricky guard that makes up about half of his game plan heading into the world’s biggest tournaments. You can learn Lachlan’s entire half guard philosophy and system in this full service video series, including live footage of Lachlan hitting this on the mats! He doesn’t just say this works, he gets out there and proves it!
