It was a great experience, I made many friends like Artar Igan and Arka<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I usually do wrestling in Singapore, the classes are around 1 and a half hours, but in bandung its 2 hours, and in Bandung, you have no sparring at all. Half of the class is warm ups the other half of the class is technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mats at Scorpion Wrestling are as big as an auditorium in the biggest university in the world. There were two big mats there. They even had a competition there; it was an invitational competition only for those 20 years old and above. I watched the people fight at the competition, and I saw one of my coaches pick his opponent up and supplex him and just pinned him. The match was only 15 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The warm-ups we did at Scorpion were spring rolls bridges from standing, etc. After that, we&#8217;ll practice our stance for wrestling, then once we understand that, we&#8217;ll do takedowns, then sprawl, then takedown. After finishing our warm-up, we&#8217;ll do one of the techniques. One of the techniques we&#8217;ll do is a takedown, then let them sprawl, then finish the takedown, hold them, then pin them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we do our techniques right, sometimes we get to play a game at the end, an agility game, so the coaches will split everyone into groups, and we&#8217;ll do different runs like bear crawl baby or even sprinting. The team that loses has to do 10 squats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope I can see my friends when I go to Bandung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"222\" height=\"292\" src=\"https:\/\/alvaro.cool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-573\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"282\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/alvaro.cool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alvaro.cool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-2.png 282w, https:\/\/alvaro.cool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-2-240x300.png 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 282px) 100vw, 282px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"317\" src=\"https:\/\/alvaro.cool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alvaro.cool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-3.png 460w, https:\/\/alvaro.cool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-3-300x207.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, I went to Bandung to train with Scorpion Wrestling.
