Captain Morgan leg lock position

[Arctos Lynx]

Hi! Hopefully I got the above right. Does anyone know if there is any good source of information about this position since there is very little on youtube. I have not seen anything in MTS either. Thoughts on the position from ashi gerami is it working well? Any famous practitioners using it?

[Anton Krischer]

There are a few clips on MTS, Phil Schwartz uses it and explains iton MTS. Let me check if I find them

It's MTS 92 and 107. Have fun

Thanks alot for the help. I couldnt find it on the technique list.

In my book a very under used technique. Think it has great potential.

That’s a position I havnt put any work into, I need to tho

That would be really nice. It's great to go for a foot lock position but end up on top. Also the top side ashi garami should be used more since it's very easy to go back to top position.

I may catch heat for saying this but it works best as an intermediary position to drop down into a honey hole. The honey hole is the strongest leg lock position there is especially if you snag the far leg for death's door.

I see no reason to hang out in captain morgan for any extended period of time. I have never seen any high level grappler tap to an outside heel hook from captain morgan.

Outside heel hooks are much harder to finish than inside heel hooks, and the best place to finish outside heel hooks are going to usually be your outside ashi/D.O.A. position.

If I have ashi and I'm losing someone then sometimes I try to cup the knee and come up to captain morgan to secure the leg and then drop back down. But I rarely bother trying to finish a heel hook there.

I think the finish is toe-hold or kneebar depending on how the opponent crosses their legs to defend.

The key to a good Captain Morgan is ensuring strong shin pressure on your opponents groin spot. My nuts still hurt from doing reps of this at a Phil Shwrtz seminar.

Well going to honey hole should most likely always be the goal if hunting for leg locks is the objective. So I agree with you but Captain Morgan enables you to go there from ashi with a lot of control wich is great.

Concerning the outside heelhook Craig Jones in his DVD takes the rear ashi (similar to the Captain Morgan) heel hook and then falls back to finnish it in the DOA. In this way he can expose the heel on top without getting stacked or countered.
