Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:50/50 Heel Hooks
Amazing details. Was able to implement the concepts straight away.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:100% must have!!!
best instructional I saw so far. I hated 50/50 before and awoided it by far. But Lachlans way of explaining, effort to search the right angle for better understanding, explaining again on the student doing the technique, linking techniques is awesome. 100% worth it and must have!!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:I never knew Lachlan Giles has a PhD.
It's too much content, I'll have to admit. I don't think you can absorb every detail in one night. It's going to take time. But with that said, they're all worth it. With his PhD in the mechanics behind tissue atrophy, the biggest key to his leg locks is his mechanics of where to put the pressure to cause the breaking point. He must've studied leg anatomy in details to know where are its weak points, and put pressure there to cause breakage. If you think about it, leg is stronger than arm, and yet there's still weak points in it. Just like John Danaher, he'll give you scientific or logical reasoning behind his work, which will give you the concepts behind his leg locks, thus up your leg lock game with fundamental knowledge and strategy. Just, take it a bit at a time b/c it's a lot of material, for sure (like an encyclopedia).

Mind blowing details. Really elevated my game. I was terrible but now I understand why I was terrible
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Everything to know about 5050 Heel hooks
If you want to know all there is about heel hooking from 5050, get this instructional. If you want to be left behind and not know, then don't get it.
Excellent!!!
Wow. I have yet to come across a more thorough and detailed explanation about techniques. There is so much information that this really needs to be viewed in small bits so you can internalize it and work on incremental advancements. The pace is the right tempo so that you can understand as he goes. Thanks for such a great tutorial that will be very useful.
Response from BJJ FanaticsMake the most out of it! :hugging:Lachlan Giles!
Lachlen Giles puts out some of the best, most comprehensive instructionals I have ever seen. He doesn't hold anything back and every second of his instructionals are full of detail. This is a must have for anyone into leg locks!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Video really helps me understand
Video really helps me understand the small details that I miss during class.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:A really (really) good instructional.
Lachlan is an amazing teacher. One of the interesting things he does is has white belts try the moves he teacher throughout the series and then corrects them. I found this--even as a brown belt--to be exceptionally helpful. You can tell Lachlan spends a ton of time laying out his material before he films it, and thinks critically about how to explain which techniques in which order. All of this hard work pays off. The DVD is truly awesome.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:TOTALLY AWESOME
Man guys lots of great details from this instructional, definitely recommend the basics first and this after, especially if you play an open guard game you will see that the opportunities for heel hook are endless, thank you soooooo much Giles, an absolute game changer. Now i have to get some of your other content because leg anthology truly opened my mind. 👍�👍�👍�:joy::joy::joy:

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Superb instructional
I’m pretty much staggered by how good this instructional is, the level of detail discussed and shown, and the way the whole subject is approached and broken down, it’s superb, and big thanks to LG for putting it together and passing on his knowledge.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Leg Lock Anthology
Great material explained flawlessly- very informative with techniques and concepts I can easily add to my game. Thanks to Mr Giles and BJJ fanatics for another great instructional
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great series
Often a troubling position, now it’s a go to when I need to find the finish. Thank you or the knowledge.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:So much information. Lachlan is
So much information. Lachlan is one of the most scientific and descriptive teachers online. I’ve barely dived into the information and feel so lucky to have access to the innovations
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:All-around amazing
This is excellent. I was mostly interested in the K-guard entries when I bought, but was really impressedby the whole system. The first two volumes move at a slow pace (a bit boring if you're familiar with heelhooks, but great if you're a beginner), but the later volumes are loaded with technique and details I haven't seen elsewhere. Overall a great and unique instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Really great instructional
