Even though I grew up in Arizona and traveled to Mexico often in my adulthood. I never got the chance to see a bullfight. I was shocked to learn that in Korea, there's bullfighting, too. But it's not what you think. There's no matador or red cape. There's no sword and bloodied bull at the end, either. No, Korean bullfighting has its roots based in farming games between landowners and goes back nearly 1000 years.

It's a small town about 40km south of Daegu and home to one of Korea's best arenas for this amazing sport. I do call Korean Bullfighting a sport, because the matches are divided into weight classes (the heaviest being over 1000kg) and the "fight" is really a wrestling match. The two bulls are brought in by their trainers and squared off. The animals lock horns and then maneuver around the dirt lot until one backs down. During the match, trainers shout instructions (it's almost like a real life version of Pokémon).
