Seriously speaking, Lachlan's Half guard anthology and half guard passing anthology are the two most comprehensive resources on the topic ever made. My guard improved so much from the detailed structure Lachlan shares from half guard to rdlr to situp guard. The passing dvd is a notch higher. It will make you force half guard and smash through annoying nogi guards. Can't wait to master the content from both.

That half guard anthology is amazing. Lachlan is one of the best!!!

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

Great this video just helped me on how to be even better at switching the base when in someone's half guard ;)

[@JamesBrown-]

Wow so pleased I came across this, three years of training and this is all completely new information to me, will be working on it this week

[@MikeVieira]

Holy moly!!! You just ran through Light Out Urban Achievers! Excellent job!! Beast!

[@overrideFunction]

Nice detail's. Coming here after making the exact mistake of pummeling and leaving a lazy underhook in a tournament yesterday. Things to work on!

[@tommym321]

0:23 good initial half guard position 0:47 attack underhook while using knee shield 0:57 keeping bottom knee free and angled 1:32 timing the switch base

[@chcknpie04]

This is exactly what I needed. I’ve been throwing my outside arm over their back when they try to smash me in reverse half. It just felt right, but I couldn’t quite figure out how to finish the transition and usually just stalled out or they extracted their leg and proceeded to mount. Thanks!

[@dave-oh3549]

Lachlan I've got both your half guard DVDs from BJJ Fanatics! They are f"&king awesome mate!

[@andrewischuk9505]

Awesome video, but my partners often go into leglocks on my top leg when I play half guard, how I can place my leg or react to defend it?

[@michaelnavarrete3252]

Andrew Ischuk hey Andrew! I love half guard and go for a lot of leglocks from that position, so ik exactly what you’re talking about. What helps me is keeping the top leg almost perpendicular to the floor, with the knee framing on the inside of my opponent’s shoulder and my foot at or below my partners hips, I find that once my foot goes above the hip line is when I am susceptible to leglock entries. Hope that helps!
