It’s awesome that you give so many free instructionals away not keeping your secrets and sharing knowledge with all. Massive respect
-
Can't believe this is available for free. Such an amaizingly detailed, high-level content.
-
Actually good detail with the 50/50 underhook move. Been taught that move by 3 ppl. This guy’s explanation and detail is the best
-
Wow. I'm a little overwhelmed at the amount of details you mention. Everything you post is amazing!
-
There are so many details ❤, as a white belt half guard player. Thank u!
-
Best instruction and details I have seen on this sweep.
-
Underhook is life! Thank you for posting this instructional.
-
I've struggled with the underhook half so much and I think a major part of why is that I never realized that I needed to slide out after the underhook is made. I kept being flattened and not understanding why. I feel like a dummy but I'm so glad to see this!
-
highly recommend Lachlan's half guard seminar if you guys haven't gotten it yet
-
Also the detail of getting around the corner changed my game!!!!!
-
This is my favorite sweep and chain in my arsenal. You really hit upon some key details like getting toward the end of the foot and using it as a lever up and out to put even more pressure on the knee. Small little things to improve my technique in here. This was beautiful.
-
I came back to BJJ after 8 years and half guard is what saves me the most against those younger new breed monsters. I was doing wrong this sweep, not standing up right, thank´s for details.
-
i thought i was good at these 2 basic sweeps you go through here but holy hell this is just filled to the brim with ways for me to improve them both
-
Thank you very much for sharing! I like how this guy explain each details calm without rushing and make it easy understandable. Oss
-
im very grateful, thank you
-
Just amazing. Please keep doing what you're doing lachy! Amazing teacher.
-
I use half guard. I’m a blue belt I always use dogfight to knee tap but I always had kinks in it. No one else has the correct details but you. I’m telling you like the switching feet details are game changing.
-
Great stuff. I’ve been using this after learning from Lucas Leite a few years back. You’ve added a little more detail that will be helpful. Thank you Lachlan!
-
Thank you a lot Dr. Mr. Giles. Apreciate your work, fun for everyone. Oss
-
Damn. Every step is simple genius.
