Ben, quick question on hand positioning during Hindu Control...it looks like the back of your hand is against the neck to prep for the Hindulotine and at one point looked like the back of your hand went under Geo's armpit. Can you elaborate on the hand positioning a bit for us for the best control prior to submissions? Thanks again!
Evolution never dies :-)
Thank you for this. I was having trouble finishing it and I'm pretty sure that I figured out why.
This got me curious. Definitely going to give it a try tonight :)
Awesome. Thanks for sharing Ben!
Awesome, thanks Frank.
Yes. When I felt that I wasn't going to finish the darce, I wanted to see if I could switch from darce to full guard.
That was when I was using gun show control. Gun show does leave your knee out, so when you're in new jersey and they are passing, it's dangerous for your knee. I only play gun show in full guard now and if I'm in gun show and we go to new jersey then I switch to hindu control. Hindu control has no problems in new jersey though, it's actually more powerful there. But if you are feeling pressure, let it go, it's not worth hurting your knees over it. The general rule is to keep your knee closer to your chest then your foot. Moves become dangerous when you start pulling your foot to your body and you leave your knee out. You can do a little bit of this in full guard because you can control how much stretching is done, but when you open your guard you have no control over how much stretching they might add to what you're already doing.
Yea, it's a lot of fun watching others play with the move. But that's pretty typical for 10th planet, we're all constantly adding to the system.
Good question. So don't think of your hindu control hand as your choking hand, think of it as a jail bar you are placing on the side of his neck. You are using this arm to control and lock him in place. It's stopping him from being able to pass, pull out or posture. So keep it straight up and down like a jail bar right across his neck. Your free hand is the one that will come in and turn it into a choke. Just reach your free hand in and grab your hindu hand and then raise both elbows as high as you can. The most powerful grip is reverse gable, palm to palm, but realistically you can grab however much of your hand as you can and then just raise. I've even grabbed his blocking hand before and finished with it. When you raise both of your elbows, the choke happens pretty quick so you have a good amount of room for a loose grip. If he is defending the grip well though, that means his elbow is in and you can go to the triangle.
I have never seen such a dominant and thorough introduction of a new position and submission. Youre like Rainman dude..
Orchard's reverse spiderweb is right there, but the way you came outta nowhere and busted open on the big stage is just bonkers.
Ima fan homie.
