High Percentage Chokes: No Gi by Lachlan Giles

Check Out The Trailer!

What Will You Learn?

Turn your arms into pythons and learn how to squeeze necks like never before! These are the tricks that helped lead Lachlan Giles to being a 2x ADCC Trials champion and podium finisher at the IBJJF Worlds No Gi. Learn Lachlans systematic approach and catch the neck effortlessly in no gi.

When you take off the gi, the game changes.

It isn’t easier and it isn’t harder, it is just different… You can’t grapple the same way that you do in the gi and expect to have success. There are 2 major differences: armlocks are harder to get and chokes are easier to get for the same reason:

No-Gi Is Much More Slippery

Not only does he have some of the best entries in the game, Lachlan also has the best tricks to finishing almost any choke. He is not only one of the best competitors there is, he is also one of the best instructors.

Some of the best competitors are not able to breakdown the details when they teach, that is NOT the case for Lachlan.

Lachlan is able to show you things you would never even know existed. His attention to detail is almost unparalleled. There is a reason he is producing world class talent out of Australia. This is your opportunity to learn the best kept secrets of the land down under. While everyone is obsessing over leg locks, you can choke them out.

There is a reason Lachlan is such an excellent instructor, he has a PHD in Physiotherapy and has had 4 peer reviewed publications. Why do we mention his education? Because his teaching methods and approach to bjj resemble that of someone who is very well educated and articulate. The systematic approach Lachlan has is priceless.
