Leglock Mongrel - Sonny Brown X Jitsy Club Rash Guard Collab

Do You Use a Single Leg Lock Style?
Or Are You a Leg Lock Mongrel?

A mongrel is a dog that contains a mixture of breeds and is more resilient with fewer weaknesses than pure breeds. A mongrel can also often refer to a  savage individual, and it's not uncommon to hear the phrase "filthy mongrel" when describing someone who is particularly ruthless. It's then no coincidence that "filthy leg locker" can be often heard on the mats when referring to a savage leg locker who ruthlessly is hunting for heels on their opponents.  

These leg lockers could be like mongrels in more ways than attitude alone.

The jiu-jitsu leg lock world transformed when the Danaher Death Squad rose to prominence, tearing through the competition using leg locks in a system that Danaher had optimised together from multiple parts. Influenced by existing leg lockers, notably the infamous "Why would you ignore 50% of the human body?" comment by Dean Lister, the system took on a radically new approach to techniques that had appeared before in different styles, but not exactly like they were now.

These techniques had been combined, organised and improved into a single system and battle-hardened on the jiu-jitsu competition circuit.

Since then, even more evolutions in the leg lock game have evolved from different sources, adding new dimensions and pathways to everyone's leg lock arsenal. These influences combined have strengthened the leg lock game by building on the combined total output of multiple grapplers, taking out weaknesses and strengthening the whole, just like the numerous breeds that make up a mongrel dog.  

So when you are hunting for those legs, are you a pure breed practising only one style or system or are you using a mixture to be the most effective, savage and ruthless leg locker on the mats?
