Biography
Josh Hinger is an American Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and one of the most dangerous front headlock specialists in modern no-gi grappling. An ADCC veteran and three-time No-Gi Worlds Champion, Hinger is best known for his brutal arm-in guillotine and his ability to dominate scrambles through relentless pressure and positional control.
A product of Atos Jiu-Jitsu, Hinger built his game around forcing upper-body exchanges, punishing wrestling transitions, and capitalizing on front headlock opportunities. His arm-in guillotine has finished numerous elite opponents. Beyond sport grappling, Hinger has also worked as a jiu-jitsu coach for UFC champion Zhang Weili, bringing his elite grappling knowledge to the highest level of mixed martial arts.
