Good stuff as always. My only problem with this choke is its name. Ninja choke sounds so dorky.

It should be called a more accurate and descriptive name.

I would suggest front naked choke.

The first person I ever saw demonstrate the choke was Murilo 'Ninja' Rua. I made a thread about it 5 years asking if that was the etymology of the name. Nobody seems to know if it's a coincidence or if that's the actual etymology.

I also generally resist calling it a power guillotnie because the setup mechanics are completely different from a typical guillotine.
 
i actually like calling it a front naked choke myself! hadn't heard of a power guillotine until someone called it that on reddit lol. No idea of the etymology myself, could very well have come from ninja rua, be interesting to know for certain
