Hindulotine Instructional Video is up

This instructional is awesome! I had some trouble with finishing the hindulotine at first. Hindu control is really easy to get and super tight but I felt like my arms were too short and shoulders too stiff for the right grip. I usually ended up having a s-grip which isn't really good.
Then one day I decided to just take the "reverse pretzel grip" by not thinking about the grip but just almost violently pushing the free hand as deep as possible. Now I am getting hindulotines every day and I salute you for giving me this cool and effective new weapon :)

next level. cant wait to get in some reps. kick ass instructional. love how live footage of you hitting it was included in it too.

Also, that sucks about your arm, what happened?

Basically just depends on the size of their shoulders. I need to have enough room to get into hindu control with my elbow behind my foot. For me that's alot of people, for others it might not be. You need to stay within a decent range of your weightclass with rubber guard anyway as many of the moves depend on shoulder size and the added weight/force can be dangerous for your knees.

Freak accident. Broke it while applying a mounted triangle in live rolls. My forearm broke under my own pressure. Hand gripping the foot of the leg around his head, forearm pressuring in to make room to get my leg over my foot to lock up the triangle.

Ah yes! That is super key. I've said a few times, but should probably emphasize more, just leave your right hindu control arm as a straight up and down jailbar against their shoulder/head. The purpose of this arm is simply to lock them in place. Don't try to get it under their throat like a typical guillotine choke. The left free hand is the one that is going to grab your right hand and pull it over and up to make the choke. Just keep your hindu hand in place and dive your left hand in. You can even dive your left hand in way past your right, then grab the right hand as you are sliding it back out.

Another key I probably haven't emphasized enough is this can sometimes be a slow choke. Just raise both your elbows as high as you can and hold it. Sometimes I will hold it for 15-20 seconds before I get the tap. It typically gets tighter and tighter as my elbows keep slowly inching higher. Fortunately it doesn't take much strength to maintain this choke so you can hold out for awhile. Just be patient and wait, they have nowhere to go.

Thanks. I figured it would help to see the transitions hit under pressure too.

Hit my very first hindulotine yesterday. :)

Real nice move, at first i thought " this isnt gonna work " , yesterday i was training and i finally was able to do it on a fight ! and i just understand , it wasnt working on the first cause i wasnt training enough. Thank you bro !

Awesome! I've been throwing it up for the last 2 months since I saw it on a previous MTS, but almost never hit it and you showed me why right here, thank you from the most gracious of gracie students repping 10pjj

Very cool. I gotta try this tomorrow. Thanks.

Thanks for this...the video plus all the Q&A. We worked this a few weekends ago, and I was still having some issues transitioning from the meat hook to Hindu control...just always seemed to be too sweaty to get it to "take" for lack of a better term. I started playing around with propping up on my elbow (non meat hook elbow) so I could scoot my butt into a more ergo position for reaching that arm across...and this seemed to help me build up some muscle memory for the general concept (again...for lack of a better term).

At any rate, I hit it live last night when we were rolling. I got to Hindu control, but my opponent was so tight that could not lock in the choke. I was so tight though that the triangle was easily there, and once the triangle was locked in I was able to grab the kimura on the other side. Few positions have ever felt this tight and dominant...so again, thank you. I'll continue to work with this ...nothing like having it work live to motivate you to keep sharpening it.

It didn't work for me for a long time. I just felt there had to be something there so I stuck with it long enough to finally figure it out.

Yea, oca likes to prop up on his elbow and even hook a carni to let him fully sit up when he puts it in. I just like to touch my elbow or bicep to the top of my foot, right at my toes, then throw my hand out and around the shoulder, then slide it in alongside the neck. Working this transition over and over is what's going to let you hit it live. It has to be smooth and feel comfortable in practice for you to be hitting it live.

Awesome, yep just keep attacking the triangle, dead orchard, or 100% until you get them or he decides to posture and you can go for the choke.
