In Fujairah, in the eastern United Arab Emirates, Issa raises his traditional kandura sleeves, stirring a large pot on the fire, with a mixture of wheat, dates, herbs and fish. Speaking on his family’s farm where he began helping his father raise bulls and stage knockout matches from childhood. Unlike bullfighting in many countries, where matador faces the bull until he is eliminated, the bulls in Fujairah are challenged to show their power, without going to extreme harm or death.
