Do you play K Guard? Not yet? You’re missing out on a lot of fantastic Leg Lock entries.
Coming from Australia, equally loved and respected by the whole BJJ community, Lachlan is one of the present day’s top Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitors. Always focused, always aggressive in his matches and always going for the submission, he has gained a formidable reputation for being an equally fierce and intelligent competitor – becoming notorious for his leglock game more than anything else.
Furthermore, it is exactly his approach that differentiates him from the likes of other leglock specialists, such as those that come from the Danaher Death Squad. While Gordon Ryan and other students under the legendary professor John Danaher mostly set up their leglocks from the Saddle and Butterfly Guard positions, Lachlan plays a different leg entanglement game; preferring to set up his attacks from the K Guard and from the 50/50 position.
But yes, understanding how to play K Guard can be quite tricky… Which is why it’d be a good idea to watch the video below from Lachlan Giles – and learn the basics behind this position!
