Bull Fight
Bull Fighting Exercise
Last week I got the chance to watch a little of the American Freestyle Bull fighting Championships on the Outdoor Life Network. I've done a lot of tough guy sports. I've lifted a lot of whacko heavy things. Things that most people are afraid to try. I've been a fighter and that's some tough business. But these guys just might take the cake.
Let me briefly explain what they do. Many of them work as rodeo clowns, which means that their job is to protect bull riders and keep them from getting killed by distracting a 2,000lb bull. One of the biggest, meanest and possibly deadliest animals on the planet. In freestyle bull fighting there's no cowboy to protect, only the bull fighter in the ring with the bull by himself. In freestyle bull fighting they use smaller Mexican fighting bulls, still probably 800lbs or better. It's bloodless. They don't kill the bulls like the Mexican matadors. The bull fighter gets points for artfully dodging the bull around the ring for about a minute. The closer and more dangerously he dances with the bull the higher he scores.
Things like jumping over the bull as it runs at him, "step thrus," where he side steps the bull while turning his back to him, grabbing the bull by the horn and jumping along with him, etc. One bull fighter absolutely amazed me. To start his round he turned his back to the bull pen, when the bull came roaring out he jumped purposely allowing the bull to hit him in the calves and caused him to turn a backflip over the body of the bull as he ran underneath him. No fear at all. Think about that the next time you get a little nervous trying for a heavy PR or do a little sparring. Talk about tough. One guy had a wrist broken during the early part of his round in a little close encounter with the bull. He didn't even consider calling the round short, he just kept going. Think about that the next time you have an ache and pain.
These are guys whose lives depend on their body's ability to move. Their conditioning and agility as well as nerves of titanium and probably being tougher than they are smart (I know a bunch of us who are guilty of that), so we're going to dedicate a little training routine to them.
One of the things that they did during the show to demonstrate the different moves was to take a small two-wheeled handcart or dolly and pretend it was the bull. This allowed them to use an implement that moved like a bull (the rear end has to turn to turn the front end), and slowly demonstrate the different dodges that the bull fighter does. It struck me how that kind of agility would be great to have in real life. Great for fighters and athletes because it's very applicable to what you do, i.e., moving around in the ring or on the football field or self defense, basketball, baseball... or what have you. Also how this could be combined in a routine to help create those qualities of quickness, balance, coordination, control, agility, along with conditioning and strength.
So here's how we're gonna do it. We're going to combine heavy barbell lifting, an alternative conditioner, and the "bull fighter" agility drill. So the first part of this workout; pick a heavy barbell exercise you'd like to do for singles. This could be squat, presses, deadlifts, whatever. You're going to perform a warm up set or two as well as a little bit of light jogging, general movement to warm up and get a sweat going. From there you're going to do 5 to 10 progressively heavier singles. Between each single you do 30 to 60 seconds of the bull fighter agility drill. Move back and forth as quickly as possible. If you have a small dolly and a partner you can do it by simply having your partner chase you around with the dolly. Now dodge it, but stay close. Don't flat-out run from it. Work on your lateral agility, being able to change directions, body positions and the feet you drive off of. Kind of like a sprint, but only for a few steps in each direction and then immediately change direction. If you don't have a hand cart but you do have a partner you can improvise this by simply having the partner chase you or chase you with a stick. (I guess the bigger the stick, the faster you move. LOL), don't go out there and whack each other, just get some good movement. If you don't have a partner, just imagine you're being chased and move around.
Finish the routine by picking an alternative conditioner, i.e. a bodyweight exercise, kettlebell swings, Indian club swinging or sledgehammers or cable pulls, etc, and do 5 sets of that mixed with 5 rounds of the bull fighter agility drill.
In this routine you've lifted heavy, done some high reps and built some athletic qualities. You should be sweating like a horse and desperately out of breath if you're doing it right.
Have fun and no complaints. Sometimes we all need to toughen up a little bit.
As a side note, this routine might seem a little funny especially to you hardcore lift guys. I can just hear you now, "What kind of a goofball routine is this?! He wants us to pretend WHAT!? I just lift heavy stuff...I'm too macho to do anything else." Well try it. The drill itself is really a simple movement based, sprint type agility drill. See how heavy you can lift when you've just sprinted back and forth for 45 seconds and your heart is beating at 180 beats a minute. The good thing though is that if you do this a few times, you actually can lift quite heavy when you adjust to it and your heart becomes efficient. This conditioning carries over. You'll feel it. The whole routine shouldn't take you more than 20 minutes and you get strength and cardio at the same time.

Been to a bull fight in Mexico?
Has anyone ever been to a bull fight in Mexico? If so, do they have a "running of the bulls" such as they have in Spain?
there is some towns in the center of Mexico that makes something similar to the Pamplona running of thu bulls", in Apizaco in the state of Tlaxcala is one very similar, the other i know of have a variation like the one they do in Tlacotalpan in the state of Veracruz, where they first make the bulls swim and cross a river, and are brahma bulls not lydia bulls, bigger but not as agresive as their lydia cousins and its celebrated in Holy week.
San Miguels used to be as agresive and dangerous as the one in Tlaxcala, but people started to complain in how unsafe it was and now is very much controled.
There is other festivities that involve diferent ways of bull fighting in some other towns in Mexico, but the ones above are the ones most known
