Lachlan using the Far Side Arm Drag in Rolling

The far side arm drag is an excellent tool to use for the half butterfly and knee shield player. To learn more you can watch my course on the Far Side Arm Drag at submeta.io/@lachlangiles/cour...

actually good music on a BJJ video. Wild.

[@good6894]

Yeah, this is an odd new experience lol

[@emceesupremejustice]

lol pretty sure it’s just music YOU personally enjoy big difference

[@liamponder7764]

Probably the greatest video ever seen on youtube for no-gi. Long format rolling on a single technique answers so many questions….far arm drag to choi bar is a bottom player’s wet dream.

[@IlllIlIlllIIl]

Agreed - great format

[@cinattra]

😂 💦 💤

[@kcwliew]

Currently sitting at home ill but I want to try this so badly. I'm a half guard player and to me this looks great - I've played with it a little before having watched Jeff Glover do it but I was missing some ideas. This long format rolling video is perfect for understanding the position better. Now I just want to try it out myself!

[@liamponder7764]

Me too

[@user-kz6li5mn1u]

Please post more of these open mat formats thx very intuitive

[@sfffh3943]

wow. I've never seen this video quality in youtube. unbelievable!

[@tra1in1]

You have not seen rolling with purpose?

[@axeltorbenson8533]

Definitely going to have to mess around with this!

[@FullTechnic]

Soo Cool

[@austinmort5300]

That improvisational armbar at 7:06 was so simple and awesome.

[@philipdru4782]

what...? that was super basic

[@austinmort5300]

I mean, every armbar is pretty basic I suppose, I just hadn't seen one before where you hold your leg in the air behind the guy's elbow to make a sort of floating fulcrum.

[@badxradxandy]

look up choi bar

[@kevinsarulis4067]

I was hitting this in class. People don't really expect an arm drag when you grab that far side arm.

[@DanielIvan707]

Like wow! 😮

[@mrolliepoper]

head on the inside vs head on outside? (when chasing back from armdrag)

[@trooperjoe73]

Lachlan rolling, and no-busy people are NOT watching him?!

[@sevensurgeries]

Any ideas why lachlan couldn't finish the choi bar at 4:14? He looked like he was controlling the hips but his opponent still managed to stack

[@keredchang]

Just learning the finer details of the choi bar, but I imagine some size/strength as well as good technique played a part here. You'll see top guy grab his own tight to lock his arm in place. Then he's heavy on Lachlan's hips, either way his own hip or his entire right side of his body. This shuts down Lachlan's attempt to bring top guy's legs over his head to the other side, as well as the ability to move his own hips. At the end, he probably slipped his arm out enough that allowed him to turn his back to Lachlan.

[@hoteyesng]

Could be deadly combining it with Kimura

[@evan_000]

Super effective

[@keredchang]

Kinda missing the point of the second half of the video. Sure you can attempt a Kimura from here (this is not lost on Lachlan or any blue belt+), but it restricts your own movement and there aren't many alternatives once the Kimura is shut down. In it's stead, chaining it into a Choi bar allows for you to retain strong arm control, distance between your opponent's chest and yours, and various alternatives for attack.

[@BGS002]

i like this, but i feel like it might expose the back a bit. if the top player uses that lucas lepri far-side seatbelt and rolls over the top. will try it and see.

[@cinattra]

The hooks keep that from happening.

[@denissoldo33]

Wish you were commentating but sick video

[@shepsean1]

Goddamn I need a cigarette after that.

[@DrHarbirSingh]

You can’t arm drag a guy wearing a Marcelo Garcia rash guard, that’s almost blasphemous
