Cael Sanderson - Ankle Picking Machine

[@joro8604]

Ankle pick is the ultimate finesse move. So simple, takes little strength, but a setup and timing. Incredible. (And you feel like such a doofus when one is hit on you).

[@tropicalterrarium1742]

in my opinion it isnt that simple, takes timing and feel

[@darfish2769]

​@@tropicalterrarium1742 that's what they said

[@eagles9901]

The mark of a great wrestler, your opponent KNOWS what you are going to do yet they can't stop you!

[@Richard-wr3ym]

YT Newton totally agree, my son had one takedown move and went undefeated in his senior year sometimes it pays to be great at one thing...like an ankle pick, Cael’s were just so sick.

[@killthemall55]

Same goes with the judoka toshihiko koga.

@Castiel Gregory Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Castiel Gregory it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my account!

@Kaiser Brett you are welcome :)

If only Cael entered the 2008 Summer Olympics:) Cael seemed to improve as a freestyle wrestler even while he was retired. The Gold Medalist for 84g in Beijing was Revaz Mindorashvili who Cael completely controlled in 2003 when Cael hadn't reached his peak;)

[@marksmithwick4526]

Wow....just watch this. Cael is, and always will be, amazing.

[@jimvattuone1049]

Hard work determination & faith. That's what it takes to live the best life. Thank you for the example Cael!

[@RomeroXVII]

Cael always went for the path of least resistance when he picked his shots, amazing wrestler.

[@joemorone9283]

This sprawl to the pick at 2:00 was nutty

[@ladev91]

+Joe Morone I think he just changed his mind mid sprawl to go for a leg lol

[@shawnmazurek]

If you wanna be a great wrestler....learn the basics and learn them well. Ankle pick is very simple but so effective. What a great wrestler!!!

[@GordonCraft-yd1fk]

Best dam athlete and wrestler in history. My respect for this man is beyond any words. I've bragged about him for many years. Cael, we love ya man! Keep up the good work!

[@Tjclue5]

was my favorite move back in high school

[@MRkriegs]

He is the greatest wrestler of all time if not the greatest athlete of all time over every sport. Unmatched in the sport, highest skill ceiling, 0 poor performances, 0 weaknesses, incredible in every aspect, nobody will ever match his legacy. The greatest...

[@StudywithMicah]

dan gables was pretty bad ass during his time

[@Sullybomb33_]

mrkriegs ill give you this hes the greatest college wrestler of all time nobody comes close he was a absolute machine. however he is not the best wrestler in frestyle which is what the rest of the world does in my opinon john smith was the best because he won 6 world championships and 2 olympic gold medals and cael only won 1 olympic gold medal. cael was great but his collge carrer was his best wrestling

[@daniel213141]

In the US absolutely. all time? Buvaisar Saitiev, Valentin Yordanov, Sergei Beloglazov, Khadzhimurat Gatsalov, Abdulrashid Sadulaev (a little young, maybe in a few years) just to name a few would be in the running as the greatest wrestler of all time.

[@harryhirsch8527]

'''He is the greatest wrestler of all time if not the greatest athlete of all time over every sport.''' what a load of rubbish..are in love with that guy or what?

[@MRkriegs]

Harry Hirsch LUL compare Cael's dominance to any other athlete in a combat sport, please do this and come back to me. dumb fuck

[@marksmithwick4526]

If you have never wrestled this does not make sense,,,,if you have this is amazing,,,,

[@Yami02blue]

Bullcrap!! Awesome is awesome. I don't need to be a rassler to understand that this dude is great. Rewritten for the numbskulls.

[@spencerpaton8078]

Yami02blue really?then did you know that he ankle pick is one of the least used moves in wrestling? probably the hardest aside from a leg cradle to perform perfectly?

[@spencerpaton8078]

***** cael is the fuckin man

[@spencerpaton8078]

***** fucking 160 wins.... zero losses. Through highschool, college and the fucking olympics. All with one move that every one predicted but couldnt stop because hes just too fucking good.

[@Yami02blue]

Fuck you stupid fucks. OMG you're so stupid. I said the dude was great, the move was great, and you fuckers are so stupid that you completely missed it. ROFL. Have a nice life, and read some books, because your comprehension level is on par with a gnat. Maybe lower. tl:dr: You're unbelievably stupid.

Great wrestler and great coach

[@kristopherandrews7152]

Bobby Douglas was the best coach in the world for Cael at ISU. Went to his camps and knew them both.

[@davidth.o.g.2229]

As someone who didn't have a great shot( though I worked really hard), the ankle pick was my answer to being slower and weaker. Grit, conditioning, timing and leverage. I love wrestling because talent could be outworked.

[@benhur9071]

14 min of ankle picks lol ,guy was an animal

[@Richard-wr3ym]

This is a very well put together video, nicely done sir.

I always found success with ankle pick, I would bait one way a couple times and hit it hard on the other side, opponents seem to step right into it if u bait it up right

[@jacksonmcvey2085]

I like this guys style! My BJJ coach always tells me to get good at Ankle Picks since I'm 6' 4" and have super long arms!

[@aristotlestudent]

+Jackson McVey Your coach is smart.

[@littleroots]

+Jackson McVey You definitely have the advantage with long arms, but ankle pick is more than just the reach, its SET UP and BODY LEVERAGE;)

[@RubenBJJ96]

when you do the ankle pick, do you pull the ankle and push the head, arm or chest?

so technical so awesomeee

[@MichaelShulski]

Check out Steve Mocco and footsweeps if you admire this. Moves like this and footsweeps take insanely good timing. Judo used to allow ankle picks too. That's why, with footsweeps too, it was good to supplement folkstyle with Judo. It's different now though. There was a guy I used t o wrestle with who had a crazy ankle pick. I would be going for a ride wondering, "what the fuck is going on". It wasn't until a few days later I learned what he was doing. I literally didn't know what the hell he was doing.

[@chvedov6785]

If this guy did freestyle and learned to go straight into a cross ankle after his ankle picks he would be unstoppable

[@chonporter8743]

+Ajit Chamraj he became an Olympic champion in freestyle? how does that qualify as not that great?

Can someone explain me what are differences in freestyle and folkstyle wrestling?

[@jareddebrino7244]

folkstyle allows you to ge more sloppy, and you can't lock your hands, but in freestyle you can, but in the contrary you're moves need to be on point

[@boomidctv6017]

Jared Debrino hmm I always so folkstyle as the "cleaner" sport in comparison to freestyle

[@sw8053]

scoring is different. freestyle you get points for turns. hard to explain. basically the neutral position is the same. if you take a person down you have a limited time to turn them. no bottom or top position.

[@tytdrangon2487]

dismemberingcarcass freestyle you can role the guy and get points and it fokstyle you can not do that

youre watching an ankle pick highlight video, so obviously youre only going to see ankle picks

[@Skipmunk85]

and yet people keep falling for it. If it ain't broke (not to mention his skills are obviously more diverse than this highlight reel suggests)

[@Chance-ry1hq]

Great footage, terrible choice of music.

[@jt519]

Like I responded to someone else’s comment. Not exactly, I think the music represents the smoothness and effortless style of Cael. More soothing and shows the flow he had. Something harder would be for the Brands who were like bulldozing figures, but this music fits Cael’s poised style. I thought it sucked too until I came back and watch multiple times.
