How Trent Hidlay Won Worlds with His Underhook | Technique Tuesday
Sep 24, 2025
Trent Hidlay just captured the 2025 World Championship — and he did it his way. The NC State product and Wolfpack RTC standout ran through the bracket with relentless underhooks, proving that his signature series works at the very highest level.
In this clip, Hidlay breaks down his winning formula:
- Far knee pick ➝ crisp and efficient from the underhook.
- Lat pull takedown ➝ when the knee pick misses, rotate your opponent to their back for big points.
- Double leg finish ➝ the final piece of the chain, turning failed attempts into unstoppable offense.
