Very helpful! A training partner suggested Lachlan, and I was really happy to find his instructional on body lock passing. It’s something I’ve wanted to work on for awhile. I hope I can translate it to the gi as well. His teaching style is very helpful and clear. Looking forward to purchasing other instructionals from him.

Good instruction. Covers a lot of material.
I put Lachlans instructionals right up with Gordon’s and Danahers. Not just a collection of moves but a guided direction of how to play the position with tons of insight and attention to detail. I’ve heard it’s just as good as Gordon’s, definitely worth the price
Another great instructional by Lachlan. I really appreciate his teaching style and attention to detail. Looking forward to using the tips in this instructional to improve my passing game.
This is my favorite pass and it is another great instructional by Lachlan. Complete and systematic guidance through the body lock pass.
Excellent material. Lachlan is a top tier teacher and I was able to apply this instruction almost immediately into my game. I have also found it applicable in the gi, so this has proved helpful for all aspects of my tight pressure passing. Highly recommended.
Easy to understand. I want beginners to see it
Highly recommanded. It was a game changer for me. It became my favourite guard passing method with half guard. Allow me to control better and pass guard of more advanced players.
Great DVD. Everything you want to know and more on passing half guard using the body lock. Lots of details on each stage of the pass
Lachlan Giles always delivers top quality
this is just perfect for everyone who wants to learn bodylock pass
Great content!
Excellent intro to this pass. Well organized.
Good stuff!
Useful class for nogi player
I enjoy all of Lachlan’s videos — as always, awesome content, great detail and amazing value. Curious how this may compare to Gordon’s body lock instructional.
Good intro to a front-long arm/sort arm body lock. Goes over lots of troubleshooting and has rolling footage at the end. I think this was the first body lock instructional out and I picked it up after going through his half guard passing. I’m going through Gordon Ryan’s body lock version and it’s got more too it, but this is still a good introduction and probably good enough at a lower cost. This also has very good Sal Palo closed guard pass which is unique.
I love Lachlan's teaching style. Very strong emphasis on details in here.
My favorite way to pass the guard. Works even as a small guy. Lachlan is a great teacher.
Like always Lachlan gives clear instructions. Valuable content as always
Very comprehensive extremely well organized. Lachlan Giles covered everything you need to know about the body lock pass.
Not all instructionals are created equal. The best ones aren't simply an assortment of techniques but a step by step guide to troubleshooting the position Lachlan Giles instructionals are a part of that trend and this one is no different. The concepts are simple to understand with all the little details necessary to dissect and solve all the major roadblocks one might encounter while employing the body lock. The price is affordable and the instructions are top shelf. Highly satisfied with the purchase.
love it
Currently using this as my guide for body locking. Got it cheap and its worth every $. Lachlan explains everything very well and his troubleshooting sections are gold.
