SAFETY: Hindulotine from Hindulotine targets the Carotid arteries and trachea. Risk: Loss of consciousness from bilateral carotid compression. Release immediately upon tap.
Finishing the Hindulotine from Hindulotine control requires understanding the rotational torque that separates this technique from standard guillotine finishes. The chin strap grip with figure-four lock creates a mechanical system where your entire body contributes to the choking pressure, not just your arms. Your hips generate the primary finishing force by rotating perpendicular to the opponent’s spine, while your legs prevent the defensive circling and posture recovery that would relieve pressure. The key insight is that small hip angle adjustments produce dramatic changes in choking pressure, making this a technique where precision outweighs strength.

Key Attacking Principles
What are the key principles for executing Hindulotine from Hindulotine?
- Generate finishing pressure through hip rotation perpendicular to opponent’s spine rather than pulling with arm strength
- Position the forearm blade high under the chin targeting carotid arteries bilaterally for a clean blood choke
- Maintain constant grip pressure through all body adjustments to prevent any relief in choking force
- Use leg control to eliminate opponent’s ability to circle, posture, or change angle relative to your body
- Coordinate grip tightening with core rotation so both forces compound simultaneously at the finish
- Read defensive reactions as transition triggers rather than obstacles to force through
Prerequisites
What do you need before attempting Hindulotine from Hindulotine?
- Chin strap grip secured with figure-four configuration and forearm blade positioned high under opponent’s chin
- Opponent’s posture broken forward with head trapped below your center of gravity
- Hips positioned at 45-90 degree angle to opponent’s spine creating rotational leverage
- Leg control established through closed guard, butterfly hooks, or strategic foot posts preventing circling escapes
Execution Steps
How do you execute Hindulotine from Hindulotine step by step?
- Confirm chin strap grip position: Verify your choking arm’s forearm blade sits directly under the opponent’s chin, not on the throat or jaw. Lock the figure-four by grabbing your own bicep with the choking hand while the support arm wraps behind the head. The grip should feel like a vise with no slack between your wrist and their neck. (Timing: 0-2 seconds)
- Break opponent’s posture completely: Pull the opponent’s head down toward your chest using the grip while simultaneously curling your torso forward. Their forehead should be pressed against your sternum or below. If they maintain any vertical alignment in their spine, the finish will be compromised. Use your legs to pull their hips forward to collapse their base. (Timing: 1-3 seconds)
- Angle hips perpendicular to opponent’s spine: Rotate your hips toward the choking arm side so your body creates a 45-90 degree angle relative to the opponent’s spine. This angle is the foundation of the rotational torque that distinguishes the Hindulotine from linear guillotine pulls. Your hip bone should be driving into the side of their ribcage or shoulder. (Timing: 2-4 seconds)
- Establish leg control for the finish: Lock your legs in a configuration that prevents the opponent from circling toward the choking arm side or achieving any posture recovery. Close your guard if available, or use a high butterfly hook on the choking side hip combined with a posted foot on the opposite side. Your legs are the anchor that makes the rotational finish possible. (Timing: Simultaneous with step 3)
- Generate rotational torque through core: Drive your choking elbow toward your opposite hip while rotating your entire core away from the opponent. This motion creates the rotational torque that compresses both carotid arteries simultaneously. The force comes from your obliques and hip flexors, not from squeezing your biceps. Think of wringing a towel around the neck. (Timing: 4-7 seconds)
- Apply finishing pressure and arch: Tighten the grip to maximum while maintaining the rotational angle. Slightly extend your hips to create a subtle arch that increases the distance between your grip and their neck, adding a stretching component to the rotational compression. The choke should feel like it is tightening from all directions at once. (Timing: 7-10 seconds)
- Monitor for tap and control finish: Maintain steady pressure while monitoring for any tap signal: verbal, physical, or the opponent going limp. Do not pulse or crank the pressure. Sustained steady compression is more effective and safer than explosive squeezing. If you feel the opponent weakening, maintain current pressure rather than increasing aggressively. (Timing: Continuous until tap)

Opponent Defenses
How might your opponent defend against Hindulotine from Hindulotine?
- Opponent postures up forcefully to create space and relieve neck pressure (Effectiveness: High) - Your Response: Follow their rise while tightening the grip. If they achieve significant posture, snap them back down by pulling with the grip while sprawling hips. If posture is fully recovered, transition to front headlock control and re-establish. → Leads to Hindulotine
- Opponent drives forward to stack and flatten you, using weight to neutralize the choke angle (Effectiveness: Medium) - Your Response: Use butterfly hooks to load their weight and sweep to mount while maintaining the grip. Their forward pressure becomes the energy source for the sweep, and you finish from top position. → Leads to Hindulotine
- Opponent circles toward the choking arm to reduce rotational torque angle (Effectiveness: Medium) - Your Response: Use the leg on the choking arm side as a block, hooking their hip to prevent rotation. Simultaneously adjust your own hip angle to maintain perpendicular alignment. If they create significant angle change, switch to a darce grip. → Leads to Hindulotine
- Opponent peels grip by fighting hands and wedging fingers under the figure-four lock (Effectiveness: Medium) - Your Response: Re-lock the figure-four deeper by walking the choking arm higher on the neck. Tuck your elbows tight to your body so there is no gap for fingers. If the grip is significantly compromised, release and transition to front headlock control to reset. → Leads to Hindulotine
- Opponent turns away exposing back to relieve direct choke pressure (Effectiveness: Low) - Your Response: Release the guillotine grip and immediately establish seat belt control as they turn. Their escape from the choke delivers them directly into a back take. Hook legs for back control. → Leads to Closed Guard
