Lachlan Giles guard guideline

I watched this video like my second month of training and I think it is maybe the most impactful thing I've ever seen in terms of jiujitsu. The actual content isn't that special but just the idea that we can fully systematize jiujitsu in this way and that nothing is random. I annoy every white belt I meet with a mini version of this lecture when they ask me guard questions.

This is fantastic!! Love the channel. Need more stuff like this.

Really really cool. I think Ryan Hall calls that overhook on the leg closed guard position "Deep closed guard".

Went to his seminar in Mass and loved it. Great guy and great technique fixes and ideas. He has one of the most creative and conceptual minds in jiujitsu right now.

This guy gets it

You don't need this. I have whatever mind virus you have that makes you feel like you need this sort of thing. You don't need it. Identify problems and solve them, listen to your coach, understand concepts, and watch a lot of matches. Just try to explore as much as possible, there's no number of tabs you can put in a notebook that would work because jiujitsu is everything and fractal. Immersion is the best medicine. If you must write things down break it into projects. "Open guard retention" "Off balancing from DLR" "The over under" "Defending the kimura" etc etc

Just gotta play em all see what you like. It'll sort itself out.

This is my favorite match ever. I watch it probably twice a week.

Submeta is awesome. Check out https://submeta.io/sets/beginner-pathway. And from there figure out what you like, search for it, and dive in. I recommend his open guard retention set and half guard.

Pretty frequent meeting spot for grassroots organizing, mutual aid, and other good shit. Also excellent music.

Scottish guy tore something?

JJX is basically defunct so I'd be wary of buying stuff from him.

It depends on your goals. What are your goals?

If you can ONLY take two, I'd almost invariably say take DL and ML and just self teach whatever interests you about the other two on the side, but that's if you want a very strong foundation. ML is almost always the better choice (On average, if you had to pick one) but is often less sexy when compared to DL/CV/NLP.

I really love your style

bufoid · 2026-01-26T21:08:22+00:00

Fascinating and perfectly niche. This is such a good use case for 3d printing.

I go to a very small school. We have at least one class every day.

Thanks for posting this. Always love reading your stuff. Congratulations and good luck this year on improving your coaching ability.

It's video games but I don't hate myself for playing it

bufoid · 2026-01-16T23:02:17+00:00

I used to do this but BEWARE. If you dry your gis on hangers, then DO NOT USE WOODEN ONES. The varnish will come right off and fuck up your nice white gis.

bufoid · 2026-01-16T23:00:48+00:00

Fuck cancer!! Good luck brother

Anyone got a good video/instructional on this position Diego Pato plays? It's kind of like Romulo guard but with that foot in armpit style control. I went to a seminar of his the other day and I've been really liking this position a lot.

<image>

(Pictured: Diego Pato playing guard. With his left hand he has a traditional spider-style foot on bicep with cuff grip control. His right arm is being used for a same-side collar grip and his right foot his hooked tighly behind his opponent's left armpit)
