Born from rebellion, the Death × Wristlock (DxW) Collection is where CRUZ CMBT lets the chaos breathe. It began as our “no-rules” line, a radical break from the minimalist roots that built the brand. This is where our love of vintage horror posters, gritty fight culture, and offbeat humor collided into something unhinged, raw, and completely our own.
Early DxW drops leaned into retro cinema, dripping with grindhouse graphics and cult-movie flair. Think blood-red typography, washed-out poster layouts, and textures that feel like they were ripped off a VHS sleeve.
Today, DxW has evolved into a full-scale playground fun patterns, camos, gradients, and prints that don’t fit anywhere else in the CRUZ CMBT lineup. It’s the corner of our brand reserved for those who roll hard, laugh harder, and wear their fight with pride.
Every piece in the DxW Collection, rash guards, fight shorts, tights, and more, is made for movement and made to make a statement.
This is gear designed to outlast you and still look wild while doing it.

It started as an inside joke in jiu-jitsu. Getting caught in a wrist lock is painful, borderline disrespectful, and definitely not how anyone wants to lose. “Death by wrist lock” became our tongue-in-cheek way of saying no rules, no mercy. The name stuck and the collection became our space to break every creative rule possible.
The DxW Collection is where we let the chaos out. Expect bolder graphics, vintage poster vibes, experimental colors, and pattern-heavy drops you won’t find anywhere else. While our core line focuses on clean performance gear, DxW is the wild cousin who rolls barefoot in the parking lot and still submits you.
Every piece is 100% fight-tested and mat-ready. Rash guards, shorts, tights, all built with the same moisture-wicking, antimicrobial, stretch-fit performance fabrics we use across CRUZ CMBT. Whether you’re rolling, lifting, or just living in them, they’re made to move.
Usually no. DxW is a “drop and gone” style collection. Once a design sells out, it’s retired to the CRUZ vault. So if you see something that hits, grab it. The next restock won’t be the same, it’ll be even wilder.
Yes. Every item is built for performance and comfort—fit for men, women, and anyone who trains. Check the size guide on each product page for detailed measurements.
