For me, it's the great Chinese and southeast Asian sport of water buffalo fighting. In Vietnamese the sport is known as chọi trâu which translates to buffalo fighting, and in Chinese it's known as 斗牛 which translates to bull fighting.Truly great buffalo like Optimus Prime have even been covered by the Wall Street Journal. https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10000872396390444508504577593062173053248In this thread I will share some of the most exciting highlights from water buffalo fights. Keep in mind that these are just highlights. Many water buffalo fights are highly technical affairs as the water buffalo push and battle for position.Another good article about the sport: https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1006372As one of the biggest American fans of water buffalo fights, I have made all of these webms myself and have spent countless hours browsing strange Chinese streaming websites to find the best water buffalo content. I even joined the Chinese app WeChat and attempted to discuss water buffalo with some of its users.FAQ:>Do all the fights end this fast?No. Most water buffalo fights are characterized by long shoving matches that end when one water buffalo gives up and retreats>Isn't this mean to the buffalo?No. Male water buffalo absolutely love fighting. The water buffalo are treated like gods by their owners.>How much does a water buffalo cost? I want to buy oneGood fighting water buffalo often cost hundreds of thousands of Yuan. 100k yuan = about $16,000>why do they jump on the buffalo?Jumping on the buffalo after it's KO'd helps revive the buffalo. It works similarly to CPR.

BLAM!
I want to go to one of the great Chinese buffalo festivals.
Lil Vietnamese action for my Vietnamese friends
Absolute BONE RATTLING BOOM BLAST
>>219183289I'll be back with more BUFFALO later tonight, friends.
>>219183295I'd like to do this with two Americans on mobility scooters
>>219183344that's 100% on that retarded trainer just standing still
>>219183384Kek one punch buffalo
Whole families watch buffalo together. It's a truly great sport for everyone to enjoy.
The ol' fliparooni
Deaths are rare, but they're a true tragedy. The trainers are usually in tears when their beloved buffalo die.The buffalo live to fight though. It would be cruel not to let them do what's in their nature.
>>219183700The death probably could have been prevented if they'd followed best veterinary practices and jumped on the buffalo to revive it.
>>219183718Here's a clip showing a proper revival.
>>219183391Those things go like five miles an hour. The collisions would suck. If you just like watching men run into each other there's already a sport called RUNIT aka Collide Bowl aka Criminal Crash.
>>219183278Holy kino
>>219183295Jesus, this one is gnarly. Do they retire once they lose their horns?
>>219183639Thats miles better than corrida. Just buffaloes being buffaloes instead of that retarded Iberian powertrip
>>219183278WHERE AND WHEN ARE THESE EVENTS I WANT TO GAMBLE ON THIS SHIT
>>219184168It's in Yunnan province in october. I'll go next year
>>219184168>>219184206I believe they also have winter events around Lunar New Year. It's a very hard sport to learn about if you're not from one of the regions that practices it. I even tried to get on WeChat and talk to Chinese people about it but didn't have any real luck.
wuti didn't know we have this
Do NOT get in the way of the buffalo
>>219184362Do you at least own some water buffalo?
is it me or do they seem to get KTFO quite easily
>>219184246EPICFAIL
>>219183278they barely even realize they are a sport, they are just living in the momentonly better treated animals on earth are rodeo bulls who get paid and rewarded for killing the fuck out of the humans who take care of themand "animal rights activists" have a problem with thisimagine getting paid to batter either your natural rivals or the apex predator of earth and then instead of wandering off sad or dying if you lose, you get taken care of until you're in great shape again
Buffalo fight with GREAT FURY
>>219183278Are water buffalos supposed to be that chunky?
>>219184362I have never seen the China flag before on /int/, how did you do this on a Chinese IP?
>>219184576Most fights don't end with a KO. They usually run into each other and then push and shove until one of the buffalo gives up. I mostly make webms of the huge hits and KOs because they're the most attention getting.
>>219184817Yeah. Water buffalo are enormous. (this and similar images were translated into English by my browser)
>>219183278Seems pretty cowardly compared to Spanish bull fighting.
Beloved buffalo Optimus Prime received a full burial in a specially constructed cemetary when he died. Buffalo are often honored with full burials, but his was especially grand.
>>2191848624chan pass
>>219185108Oh, nice. So it's 4chan blocking you and not the firewall? I didn't realize. Was there just a lot of spam from Chinese botfarms or something?
One fun thing about the buffalo fights is that they have things like chicken catching contests between matches.
>>219185137it's like how they have the kids do "mutton busting", or have the women who do lasso tricks and ride horses, or do the rodeo clown contests and shows between events in rodeos
>>219183278post the webm of (human) retards running into each other as a new sport
>>219185156way ahead of you >>219183796
>>219183896>Do they retire once they lose their horns?Beats me.
Lil comic I made awhile back if you know the meme you know, playas
>>219185165thank you, fren
One more buffalo before bed. Sometimes the buffalo rampage. Nobody knows why they do it.
>>219185132yeah 4chan range banned Chinese ip from postingidk if it's because of bots, can they solve 4chan captcha? Also they are not banning Russia or India do i don't think it's because of bots
>>219185612Does the firewall actually not block many western sites, or maybe it only catches the popular ones? I don't know how it works, I just remember almost never seeing actual Chinese anywhere online
>>219185367Keeps the humancucks on their toes
>>219185689it mostly just blocks social media, like facebook, Twitter and Reddit, and also Wikipedia and Google.
>>219183278All that shitting makes the pajeet excited
>water buffalo fightingis that like in the movie?
>>219183278interesting. I'll go to Guizhou to visit sometime in a while.
OP's excitement makes me happy :D i dont like this "sport" tho
>>219183278We should encourage this sport more, though these KOs look brutalI remember a film I watched as a kid, about some kids and their family buffalo. They love the buffalo and want it to win the buffalo fighting tournament. It wins, they are happy and then cry very hard when the buffalo getting butchered because the rule, people put its head on a plate with incense sticks. That film was weird
>>219183278Peoples all watch this things on tv when i was a kid now it's don't even remeber this sport even exist. No idea if peoples still run this.
>>219186738I’d watch that movie.
I saw this tree in China that I think they put the dead buffaloes on>>219186557云南更多,估计苗族不玩儿这个
>>219185137oh this one seems funI don't like the violence
>>219184362有斗鸡难道没有斗牛吗
>>219183278Based as fuck, do you think there is any chance I could find a show in Shaanxi this year
/sp/ used to have Chinese buffalo fighting, as well as Japanese bug fighting threads.Been gone for years now.
>>219183278BEEEEEEEEEEM (buffalo + heem)
>>219183356Did they die?All those combats seem extremely short.
>>219184862Chinese IP isn’t the problem, Captcha is.
>>219183278have you seen the version of this with people? just two massive pacific islanders trying to give each other brain damage. kino.
>>219190349isnt that american football
I was cycling in Vietnam on a road and suddenly a bunch of buffalos came on the road from my leftOne charged me for a few dozens meters until actually crossing with the others
>>219183278Vietnamese is really chinese in denial.
HEEEEEM
>>219183278>match highlights>it's just poop coming out of the bull's assSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR
>>219190349Yes. It's already been posted in the thread. >>219183796
>>219190011>All those combats seem extremely short.Most fights are long pushing and shoving matches and don't involve any buffalo getting KO'd. These webms are for BIG HIGHLIGHTS
>>219184362天安門事件
those charges aren't natural (notmally bulls posture up close) and fuck these steaks up. Only caprines are really adapted to smash heads at full speed.
>>219183295Why did they do it
>>219193464They kill themselves this way all the time in the wild, they snap their necks, or get a concussion and die, or tgeir horns get entangled and they die because they cant move or eat. Males are surplus
Buffalo study the sport to improve their technique
>>219195756I like to make special effects versions of the clips too.
>>219183391>Watching videos about Asia>Brings up Americans out of nowhere2 obsessed2 be-------4 given
This was the first water buffalo fight I ever saw. It came from a Daily Mail article of all things. That article got me deep into the great sport of buffalo
Buffalo victory parade
we have bull sumo in local citieshttps://youtu.be/0c96W3wD9gk?si=a74ioq8QdNrEoX16
>>219193573yeah, sure, "AlL dA tIMe". I'm sure that's how it looks like in nature. Especially if you don't check.
>>219198003https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i-MLgpb6DQThis is literally what 90% of domestic water buffalo fighting looks like. Domestic water buffalo fights have more BIG HUGE HIGHLIGHTS, but a whole lot of it is just pushing and shoving that's not captured in the webms. You don't know SHIT about buffalo.
>>219197325SOVL
Some BUFFALO for my BUFFALO BUFFS!
Another one for my beloved BUFFABROS!
>>219202085Kek Thank you for the thread, that's a pretty interesting "sport".
>>219205614Thank you, anon
another good translation
Damn this is kinda cool, might watch this. You know the buffalo consent too since they run if they don't wanna fight which ends the fight.
>>219208702you got any dogfights
>>219208904No. Dogfighting is a sport for rubes and simpletons. Buffalo is the thinking man's animal combat sport.
