Kendric Maple's Sag Chop Ride | Technique Tuesday

Jan 13, 2026

NCAA Champion and Mizzou Assistant Coach Kendric Maple walks through his go-to top technique: the Sag Chop Ride. Maple breaks down how to shut down your opponent’s first move off the whistle and transition immediately into back points with tight pressure, claw tilts, and more.

In this video, you’ll learn:

  • How to line up correctly to block your opponent’s stand-up
  • When to clamp and sag to kill movement
  • How to use knee pressure and wrist control to enter a hammer lock
  • Smooth transitions into claw tilts and leg rides for back points

This is high-level top wrestling for anyone looking to control and turn tough opponents.
