Ridge Lovett Scrambling | Technique Tuesday
Oct 28, 2025
In this Technique Tuesday breakdown from his Scrambling with Ridge Lovett instructional, the 2025 NCAA Champion shows how to use scrambling to turn a deep shot into a scoring opportunity. Ridge walks through how to shift weight and control position scramble, elevate, and trap his opponent in a cradle.
You’ll learn:
- How to defend a high-crotch by shifting pressure and keeping them on one leg
- Step-by-step mechanics of the sit corner → elevate → cradle sequence
- What to do when your opponent tries to come out the backdoor
This is high-level, creative scrambling from one of the most unorthodox defensive wrestlers in the World.
