What Will You Learn?

In one of our most anticipated releases ever, Abu Dhabi giant killer Lachlan Giles – & one of the most popular teachers in our store- shows the heel system he used to beat three world-class black belts even while giving up a hundred pounds. As always Lachlan is incredibly throughout and well ordered in his approach to teaching across 8 volumes, learn the hidden details and secrets behind the legendary performance that earned Lachlan a bronze medal in the ADCC absolute division, on the podium with Gordon Ryan and Buchecha. As a PhD himelf, Lachlan is suited to teaching like few others in the world plus the Aussie accent makes him sound even smarter! 🙂 –  Lachlan explains, step-by-step, every detail you need to know to attack and finish the heel hook from his trademark outside sankaku position and 50/50. With every position, attack, and counter covered, this is everything you need to know to become a heel hook machine.

Lachlan Giles became the people’s champion after an inspiring run in the 2019 ADCC Absolute division. After competing at 77kg, Lachlan entered the open weight and immediately faced the IBJJF and ADCC champion (who had just beaten Buchecha that day) Kaynan Duarte, who outweighed Lachlan by over 50 pounds. And he tapped him out with a heel hook in the upset of the tournament – the crowd went absolutely nuts!!   And then he fought Patrick Gaudio (black belt world medalist and 50lbs heavier than Lachlan) and heel hooked him too, bringing the crowd to their feet. And he finished his day by heel hooking world champion black belt Mahamad Aly, who was close to 100lbs heavier. Three monsters with elite technique and Lachlan beat them all using the system that he shows here, in his highly anticipated Leg Lock Anthology.

Learn the 80/20 Outside Sankaku When They Block The Reaping Leg:

On these 8 volumes, evolve your leg locks and study what makes Lachlan’s system for heel hooking from the 50/50 so effective. One second these world-class fighters think they’re safe, the next they are tapping out or risking their knee breaking in half! With positions like the outside sankaku and the 80/20, you can solve some of leg locking’s most common problems in new and effective ways that can keep you a step ahead of the rest of your training partners. Lachlan teaches every detail, including entries, heel exposure, leg entanglements, hidden knee line details, and even how to escape and counter from these common leg lock battles!In addition to technique, learn strategy in real-time with Lachlan Giles as he narrates over his own live sparring and competition footage. Watch and listen as Lachlan explains the technique in action as he wins the ADCC Oceanic Trials with a series of heel hooks, and then in-the-gym footage of Lachlan rolling with his own students so you can see the system work. Apply these principles by seeing them working in real-time, so that you can benefit from Lachlan’s own mat time.
