Okinawa Togyu 沖縄闘牛 Bullfighting
In Okinawa, there is Togyu (闘牛) bullfighting. Unlike Spanish bullfighting, which pits the bull against an armed man, Togyu in Okinawa they let two bulls fight it out with a man “coaching” each bull. It involves two bulls starting by locking horns. They push and butt each other in a contest of strength until one retreats or turns away, the other bull then being declared the winner. The men in the ring with them are their coaches, they help them fight but also help keep them apart when the fight is over.
