Bull Fight

The Bhutanese young men have a game which is an imitation of the fight between two bulls. The players kneel down and place their palms on the ground. Tucking their heads and moving their hands and feet like bulls in a fight, they approach the opponent. They lock their shoulder and start pushing against each other. Whoever is pushed back and finally overturned is considered to have lost the game.
