Okinawan bullfighting is a longstanding tradition. Bulls fight each other by locking their horns together. There is only one rule: if you run away, you lose. In the heavyweight division, bulls can weigh in around 1000 kilograms.. Some matches are decided in a few seconds, while others can last up to 30 minutes.
