What Does a Bullfighter Do?

The Spanish bullfighter is a warrior involved in Spanish bullfighting. Bullfighting has been the national essence of Spain for centuries or even thousands of years. In the Neolithic rock murals found in the caves of Artamira, people have seen some depictions of people fighting with cattle.

In Spain and the entire Spanish-speaking world, bullfighters are regarded as heroic and fearless men, and are highly respected and admired by the people.

Intense on the arena

After the slightly noisy opening ceremony, it was the exciting performance stage. The court suddenly became silent at this time, and the audience held their breath and waited for the appearance of the bull. When a huge figure weighing four or five hundred kilograms was released from the fence entrance, it began to rush on the field, the dust was flying, and two sharp-pointed horns were its lethal weapons. Several bright ribbons were inserted on the back of the cow, which was also the mark where people attacked it. It seemed to be a little panicked. Suddenly it was not adapted to the attention of tens of thousands of people. After running for a few laps, it stopped solitary and exclaimed in the auditorium. Indeed, in the face of such a behemoth, the atmosphere of the arena was elevated to a new height.

After the savage bull appeared, the respected bullfighter's turn appeared. In the beginning, many bullfighters took turns to attack. The main bullfighter was still the protagonist in the field and the dominant player in the atmosphere. In addition to some regular moves, he also uses some adventurous methods. For example, kneeling on your knees, holding a red cloth, and letting the bull pass by. Every time such a scene appears in the field, it will cause a high-decibel exclaim. At the same time, the assistants of the main bullfighter also take turns. The cape teases the bull. The purpose is to consume the bull's physical strength. After more than ten minutes of flying around the field, this big guy is tired and panting.

Then, a horn sounded, and two knights with spears and helmets entered the field. The main bullfighter ran aggressively, leading the bull's running route to the spearman's side. When the spearman swooped over, the spearman used this impulse to stab the spear toward the bull's back, but he used a wide-bladed spear, and when he was assassinated, he would pick up slightly, so as not to kill the bull. After some fighting, the blood stained the sand, the bull's physical strength was almost exhausted!

The stage of the matador

At this time, the game was completely a stage for the matadors. The bulls were covered with scars, and their momentum was not as good as before. This seems to have the danger of being a bull, but

In July 2016, Barrio, a 29-year-old bullfighter, suffered a 500-kilogram bull attack on the chest with a horn during a bullring tour, and was thrown high into the air. This is also Spain's first bullfighter to be stabbed to death on a bullring in 30 years. ^[7]
