Lachlan is the prove that you don't need to follow any metas. Dude literally lays down, goes to bottom north south and starts attacking choi bars from everywhere
@froggy3496 he goes with the situation. I feel that should always be the case not just a known guard for every case. You dont get to be in those positions EVERYTIME
Every time ill see a beetle lying on its back wriggling its legs ill call it Lachlan. awesome video. Lachlan has amazing control and so relaxed at same time. I don’t do jits but love how much coordination and composure it requires at high levels. Perhaps its time to start lol.
Lachlan's leg lock anthology was my first instructional as a blue belt. It took me about 5 years to really understand it, but I'm at the point where my gym mates say I have the best leg lock defense. Maybe that was a piece of it. Thanks!
I’m glad the trend in bjj is swaying back to good top pressure passing and conventional subs. The rolling around with your legs over your head hunting for ankles has ran it’s course. Thank the bjj gods.
Has it because other than Nicky Ryan he could have broken their legs. When he did open weight he came second because of leg locks. This wasn't about leg locks it is more about guard retention. As he's got older he's worked out a way still to annoy young top tier black belts. There are not many 36 year Olds who can roll that well. He stopped all entries and made them more tired than him. Wrestling and pressure passing is a young man's game. I'm glad it's changed but it hasn't gone.
LG's inverted guard retention is insane... I have never seen Nicky Ryan struggling passing anybody's guard like this... But granted that LG was not playing around either as it seemed he had wet his pants... 😀
Good to see that he uses everything hes been teaching in leg across and 70/30. Im curious, is there a reason why higher level guys dont fish for the rolling back takes(Wedge, crab ride, leg drag) options more?
Less options available than in the gi and you also run into the risk of getting leglocked yourself You still see crab rides fairly frequently but bolos are considered too easy to counter
I have no idea what I’m looking at as I have zero jiujitsu experience but they seem to struggle to get anything going against lachlan. His leg flexibility is crazy. Just a fan of the channel and learning as I have a striking background.
I’m a blue belt but we don’t train any legs really where I am at. I just say this because I usually weave the legs to get passed tough leg frames(though they ain’t like Lachlan’s). Does this leave you open for subs? Or is it just not the best way to go about passing these frames at a higher level?
The worst part of training with guys that play like Giles, is the best way to beat that inversion bs is to smash through, but can’t really do that with your training partners, unless it’s your best buds that you always go hard with. Plus, don’t want to injure someone like Lachlan in a playful match.
I will study this video the next couple years, see if I can get a glimpse on how the fuck Lachlan keeps retaining. Submeta is helping but this is unreal.
If you have the flexibility (hamstrings, glutes, back) to invert properly, being inverted isn’t much more stressful on your back than being in a conventional guard. He’s never up on his neck and shoulders - at most, he’s on his mid-to-upper back. The way you screw your neck and back up is to play an inverted guard over your shoulders like a granby roll.
Lucky for you there is very helpful video on this exact subject by someone who coincidentally both the person in question and a doctor in PT: ua-cam.com/video/Pulv0y_Tu1Q/v-deo.html
Yup, what @@josephmurray31 said. Most of the time when Lachlan’s head is pointed at his partner he has quite a lot of surface area of his back on the mat.
Lachlans jiujitsu serves one purpose; sport bjj. You lay on your back and put your feet up over your head like he does and someone is gonna concave your face in in a real fight
it's funny but the more I see high level people train, the more it look's like a realistic ground version of tai chi push hands. ive trained like that, in a simple way, for long time it's a safe way to train situations you get in, how to scramble. if you just dial it down enough you can explore any technique and no one ever needs to get hurt. which is why I think these guys are naturally moving towards this sort of practice, otherwise injuries accumulate. that is the main thing that takes an athlete out of competition. accumulated damage. mexican ground taiji. dig it
I feel like when these guys roll it is mostly constant leg entanglements. I’m a white belt when I roll I never do that stuff or see anyone at my gym doing it either, people go for more side control and mount, which I prefer to see
You can truly see how advanced Giles is. Its all technique and movement not a single thing is forced.
Bro he is playing it's incredible
Not trying to disrespect no one!
lachlans retention and poise off his back is beautiful to watch and always inspiring , thanks again for another awesome video!
Lachlan taking the time to throw away his toe tape in the trash as opposed to just throwing it off the mat. High Character move
How can you tell he threw it at Craig?
"the trash" he put in on the seat haha
Isn't that basic courtesy? lol not sure I see any member of in any gym throw garbage on the mat
Lachlan is the prove that you don't need to follow any metas. Dude literally lays down, goes to bottom north south and starts attacking choi bars from everywhere
He really created his own style even with the leg game, much respect for that
Choi bar is meta right now dude xD
@David Cruz choi bars yeah but the guard he uses is completely opposite to what everyone is doing
@froggy3496 he goes with the situation. I feel that should always be the case not just a known guard for every case. You dont get to be in those positions EVERYTIME
I didn’t see any Choi bars ?
So dope, love Lachlan’s style and seeing all the guys roll together is insane. Thx for posting this!
and it's free!
Lachies inverted guard to K-Guard is f*cken Fire. Such good rolls.
I love how lachy is going hardest against nicky ryan, the adcc match we never had.
Nicky Rod: Why would anyone wanna be on bottom?
*Enters Lachlan giles
I'm really digging these 5050 and reap alterations into sweeps
I was born in the back step, molded by it... by the time I found wrestling, I was already a man...
It's so good watching the more advanced guys spar. It's SO different from the lower belts which is so much more intense.
Yes but like Craig says watching two white belts try and kill each other is highly entertaining
@@harmonicproportions6588 it's very true
Soooo coool... Not scared to open, perfect invert, no North side, wrestle ups. Definitely the top BB in Australia 🤐.
Epic fall in the background at 5:57. It was like he got hit with a knockout punch the way his head hits the ground 😂
Thank you for pointing that out 😂😂
lol he got dummy swept or something, that was funny
Transferring all of the energy to your head is still technically transferring the energy. Osszzz.
The fact that Kade caught him in an arm bar still amazes me
Man, the guard retention with Ethan and Nicky Ryan is awesome.
Guess I gotta keep working on my inversion. 🤙
This easily convinced me now to go to BJJ Fanatics and get Lachlan Giles instructionals. 🔥🔥🔥
Subscribe to Submeta instead
Ridiculous guard retention from Lachlan.
not many people can emulate Lachlan..has insane flexibility
That unpassable guard !
Every time ill see a beetle lying on its back wriggling its legs ill call it Lachlan.

@@bigmanolly2889 you need to talk to your parents, this is not the right place to come out, nobody cares
@@markbowen8461 it's just a respectful light rolling, I appreciated it
Watching nicky ryan and lachlan giles roll is like watching an unstoppable force meet an unmovable object.
I think Flo should make a documentary on emergence of the phenomenon of Giles.
OMG this is pure gold, thank you B team❤
Eu gostaria de poder treinar com ele por curiosidade 😂 ele é muito bom!
This video made me B-cream
Lachlan's guard retention is unreal
Watch Ross Nicholls there very similar ross gets a round with Craig Jones 👌
his abs must be burning though
@@Kissmyass8777 I’ll check it out, thanks mate
@@ninobach7456 He's very flexible too, abs definitely very strong, his hips and glutes barely touch the mat.
He’s holding back his screct moves so so so so much. Respect
Lachy is just such a dude. Him and Craig Jones are two top guys in the sport both on and off the mat.
Super classy move by Damien to sit down when it's clear that Lachlan wants nothing to do with the standup exchange.
This, Damien clearly wishes to train and improve.
While Ethan stands up each time like a jackass.
Dude after 3 times play bottom
Wow Lachlan is just different. His guard truly is mesmerizing
LG's inverted guard retention is insane... I have never seen Nicky Ryan struggling passing anybody's guard like this... But granted that LG was not playing around either as it seemed he had wet his pants... 😀
Lachlan looks so comfortable on his back its crazy, his mount defence is top tier
its not mount defence its guard retention.
😂😂😂
@@coreydrum7956 Well you cant have guard defence without guard retention by the looks of things
@@xbroly2k41 lol what?
@@xbroly2k41 guard defence?
Good to see that he uses everything hes been teaching in leg across and 70/30. Im curious, is there a reason why higher level guys dont fish for the rolling back takes(Wedge, crab ride, leg drag) options more?
Lachlan went for crab ride in this video, and also taught some crab ride in a video they posted a few days ago
@Aidan Bartelink I know ...I saw the seminar. That's not what I'm asking.
Less options available than in the gi and you also run into the risk of getting leglocked yourself
You still see crab rides fairly frequently but bolos are considered too easy to counter
B team just isn't super big on bolo style back attacks. Plenty of other guys do though with Mikey and Lachlan being good examples.
I was born in the back step, molded by it... by the time I found wrestling, I was already a man...
Great content, thanks for posting.
I have no idea what I’m looking at as I have zero jiujitsu experience but they seem to struggle to get anything going against lachlan. His leg flexibility is crazy. Just a fan of the channel and learning as I have a striking background.
You can't pass guard defense, until you get past those legs. His flexibility and ability to keep people off of him is top notch.
You’re right.
Does Lachlan have any guard retention instructional content out there? Brilliant guard retention 👌🤌
i bought it and it's pretty good! The uke talks too much tho, he's kinda weird
Absolutely, great instructional on BJJ Fanatics.
@@froggy3496 The 'uke' is Ariel Tabak. Super high level guy. They developed the concepts together.
@@leonardobonifacio7652 check the comment that i replied to twice

A masterclass in guard retention
He’s literally Toying with Crelestine!
man i was wondering why lachlan wasnt at absolute mma this week.. he's shootin with the BOYS
Can we get an instructional about diving on outside heel hooks?
aka russian leg roulette
Lachie's jj is nuts!
lachlan is the man
Lachlans guard retention is over 9000
What is that spin move he keeps doing to retain guard called?
Lachlan always rolls so methodically and smoothly
Very impressive performance by Lachlan. I knew he was good but did not expect him to perform this well against these guys.
bro hes been op for a while
How do you pass some rubbery bastard with an inverted open guard? Flip them onto their stomach or testicul stomp?
Is Lachlan better that Kenan in Jiu-Jitsu?
in nogi yeah since Keenan stopped for a long time
in gi I pick Keenan
@@elmundir So you say they ”50/50”?
@@olegwiththeknowledge1729 in gi Keenan is better in nogi Lachlan is
Lachlan for sure.
Lachlan style I would lov to immulate!
Who's the best leg locker and defense from OG DDS (not including Eddie)?
For the algorithm
OG DDS to Craig's era there. Would it be Craig or is Gordon equal? Wouldn't guess he better. And how about Gary? Could Ethan be dark horse?
Now I wanna know same question but full game. Maybe a tier list of them all, to include Craig and not Eddie (Cummings, aka Cummuffins)
Gordon or Craig probably (based on people they leglocked). Also you reminded me to watch Eddie vs Gary again, what a fight.
I’m a blue belt but we don’t train any legs really where I am at. I just say this because I usually weave the legs to get passed tough leg frames(though they ain’t like Lachlan’s). Does this leave you open for subs? Or is it just not the best way to go about passing these frames at a higher level?
Nice!

You’re not smashing through 4 frames bud
watching these guys i see what a terrible disadvantage my poor mobility brings.
I think we all feel the same 😂

Would like to watch him roll with Marcelo, would be fun to watch.
Lachlans guard is just absurd
Dude has an insane inverted guard
Are the sweaty underwear still for sale under the counter?
Can someone timestamp when Lachlan went De le riva and put someone to a hip Gi style? Wanted to study that but can’t find it again.
Nicky pass is fire
Real aussies are always downunder
My toxic trait is thinking I could invert and retain guard like Lachlan
Love L.G. Should move and join B team
Lachlan demonstrating the levels of bjj.
Welp only thing left is to see him vs Craig jones.....don't hold out on us.

How does Lachlan still have a functioning spine?
Give it another 8yrs and bulging discs will be in full effect.

He just has good hamstring flexibility.

Ya know what, I miss Eddie Cummings. Where for art though? Don't leave Eddie, I never know where you're going, pretty girl
Viva a la algorithmé, muerta a la algorithmé
Does he not hurt his neck playing inverted so much?
And he is about 36 years old
Why should he hurt his neck?
Doesn’t strain your neck most of the time if you do it right. And he does it perfectly
@@peteypablo09 yes, don't invert on your neck but on your shoulder and upper back area. Requires a lot of hamstring flexibility.
Clinic in guard retention to attacks this whole vide
7:50 is Ethan saying "I dont know how to enter this fucking guard...."
man i wish i could frame and invert out of northsouth like him =/
That mans guard retention is spooky
Lachlan north south guard is wild
Lachlan toying with Ethan.
Lachlan is one spiny inverty boi
I feel like lachlans game is so out of the current competition meta, less about wrestling scrambles and top game and all flexible guardplay
is bobby sandhu hired to chill in the back of every roll? heehehehe
He is thinking about new jokes for kill tony😂
Man, his roll with Nicky Ryan was interesting. Dudes got some seriously impressive guard retention.
