The bottom Hindu Control holder uses the taught kick-through response to establish a leg triangle around the neck and one arm, stopping at control before a separate finish.
Begin as the bottom Hindu Control holder with the leg-in head enclosure established. Remove finishing pressure before changing the head-and-leg arrangement.
Support the raised knee through the hip angle as the enclosure changes. Use the taught kick-through response to bring the leg into the triangle-control arrangement. Establish the leg triangle around the neck and one arm as Triangle Control/Bottom. Stop at the control checkpoint; a submission finish requires its own separate action.
Practice cooperatively with controlled movement. Stop at any tap, verbal signal, or distress; release all joint or neck pressure before changing direction. Do not force a trapped knee, shoulder, or neck to preserve the route.
