Lachlan Giles used his tricky and methodical open guard to medal in the absolute division in the 2019 ADCC World Championships, heel hooking three much larger black belts on his way to bronze. Now you can learn some of those same techniques in this masterclass on using the reverse De La Riva and the x guard family to attack.
