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.

In early 2026, Hinger announced his official departure from Atos Jiu-Jitsu in response to the allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct surrounding the academy’s leadership.
