Definitely my favorite jiu jitsu guy. A wizard that is humble and clear.

[@TheStrangeleys]

3:20 - Break his grip, go to the back 5:35 - If he holds on too tightly 5:53 - Mounting is unwise 6:33 - If you cannot roll him backwards (7:16)(8:10)(8:18) 8:50 - How to sit up 10:00 - Backtake (10:35) 10:53 - Full Sequence

[@gustavwalterson6541]

do you know the name of the wrestling reversal at 7:16?

[@Mr.TrangTran]

Thanks for the notes

[@MichaelTiemann]

Everything old is new again...amazing to see wrestling moves working their way into JJ techniques. Proves the power of having an open mind!

[@dna8269]

Its all grappling

[@Vscustomprinting]

@@dna8269 "grapplin'"

[@kallepikku4991]

Jiu-jitsu has been taking wrestling moves since day one. All the 1st and 2nd generation Gracies had private wrestling coaches (either Catch/LutaLivre or Freestyle). Danaher guys are mainly former wrestlers. So is Eddie Bravo. Etc. Etc. Taking wrestling out of Brazilian jiu-jitsu regress it back to Japanese jiu-jitsu / Aikido wrist lock territory. I doubt anyone wants to go back there again.

[@michaeledge7897]

This is the best bjj video on whole youtube, absolute game changer when rollig with wrestlers or grspplers with pressure passing style!!

[@bengough6955]

I often roll with a heavy blue (white belt here) and I'm getting better but he has good pressure and did this to me earlier... I had no idea what to do when he grabbed my legs lol I will be looking to try this liberally next week 😅 great stuff, loving learning

[@John2corner]

His videos are gold

[@1987msr]

Amazing guard retention against a common pass. Too often people just concede to their back with this style of pass. Thank you for sharing this.

[@tommy2shoes339]

Doctor Lachlan doing what he does best! Keep up the tremendous work, Sir!

[@nohbdy1122]

Wow, I saw this this morning right before practice and then once I got to rolling I found an opportunity to make use of this first technique already. Thanks

[@ptb2314]

Lachlan is the guy.. I have been having difficulty getting passed by this.. fire

[@diabolic42090]

lachlan you should start a patreon where people can pay to request videos, your explanations are so good it's bound to make some money.

[@jem5431]

agreed!

[@mcyoutuber6988]

I'm going to buy your bjj fanatics series just because of your intro music .

[@wadet869]

Just changed my life

[@snamone]

You are an excellent instructor, thank you so much for sharing your BJJ knowledge.

[@mrfredcoletta]

Magnificent back take.

[@theundead1600]

Thanks for a great post. I do the hip escape alot from there as I use butterfly guard alot. So everyone tries this pass on me. Going even more offensive is counter intuitive. But I'm going to try like hell with this.

[@williammonk1020]

I pretty much do this every day now. What a move.

[@texasglassauthority7909]

Literally did the roll today,(I’m 6’4 266, he’s 6’2 255) worked effortlessly

[@yingkezhang8182]

nice

[@timothyelhajj8404]

Great technique, such a great instructor!

[@easternfarmer2548]

Thank you professor!

[@lylecarlsonsurfboard]

Thank you Lachlan! Great 👍🏼 moves

[@grantbuchan4147]

Lachlan could you also wind up in the rugby tackle position doing the push the elbow away escape from under side control.

[@shamoen]

Two Favourite things. Rugby and Jiu Jitsu. I have now formally changed the name of that pass to the rugby pass.

[@huxco]

Great. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@jorgenakamura3813]

Ótimas dicas, eu geralmente bloqueio o quadril e aplico Cross face

[@diabolic42090]

great technique and back up techniques

[@johnnylee8489]

These are great man. Thank you for sharing!

[@michaelcorcoran3942]

Thank you Lachlan "Darkside physio" aka "The Peoples Champ" great video :) I do this pass a lot, now that I know there defense I can break it. muhuhuhhahaah

[@fnava621]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[@mathiasS24]

I have a question Professor. At 3:55where youre opponent is in the turtle position ,instead of puting your right leg up to go for the back, could you put your left leg up but still have your right knee down and he is still reaching for your leg and he traps his own arm when you go for the crucifix from there. Thanks for the great videos. Greetings from Austria.

[@michaelfujinaka]

mathias jacko baret yoshida does this there’s a good video from brandon quick about that position

[@Dreaming-11]

Great, thank you

[@dusanspica2524]

Would you use these techniques to defend a single leg from the turtle as well?

[@kevinmcgivern1320]

Hey Professor, This is great. This would work against an Old School (Ribeiro/ Lovato) "side-smash" too, right? Or am I missing something?

[@impolitikful]

you use this against torreando as well

[@jscarpa2002]

How do you finish with the ankle grip?

[@eduardo.nishio]

Amazing

[@Djiddoo]

3:59 gyaattttt

[@danvillan]

great video, i get smashed by this type of pass all the time.

[@MyCk21]

Nice One :)

[@kaipatacsil2520]

My opponent loves to post his hands I’m going to need to sprawl and get out.

[@DanPeal1]

As training in the gym where a lot of MMA fighters take BJJ as complimentary sport, damn this pass so annoying

[@huymynguyen67]

Khabib dislikes this

[@kallepikku4991]

Good luck trying against a seasoned wrestler like Khabib. He'll counter you so fast that it's not even funny.

[@daveesselink3574]

This move can be risky. The top guy has an arm triangle opportunity all day long if you don't 100% commit to projecting your upper body forward.

[@embomb701]

When you are going to make a video, choose a Gi without rips man. LOL.

[@kallepikku4991]

Using wrestling counters against wrestling techniques. Who would've thought of that? It's funny that casual fans need a grappling genius to tell them that. Next Giles will be teaching the fanboys to chew their food before swallowing.
