Extremely bad idea: Muay Thai vs Boar.

One of the things we should all aspire to in life is to not die poorly.

You have pretty good odds of dying poorly if you try to kick a pig to death.

Remember - it's ok if people laugh at your funeral. Not ok if they are marveling over the stupid way you died.

high risk, low reward proposition.

Perhaps I am being too harsh... after all I have the background of growing up on and working a hog farm.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. It is worse than the tactical wheelbarrow. Worse than taping trauma plates to your back and catching .308 rounds while your partner countersnipes.


Hogs, and specifically boars, are built like tanks. Their skulls are extremely thick, they have neck muscles that are powerful to the extreme. Lifting a half ton with their snout is routine for a full grown boar.

Throw in an already ill temper, and the mild annoyance of you kicking one in the ribs. You are toast. Guaranteed.

Assuming you could even get close enough to a wild boar without using dogs.... which you couldn't. He would either trot off if you were lucky, or charge.

Humans are weak, delicate little creatures in the animal kingdom. At the very least, you need a blade to even think about success.

I think you should give it a try, and have a friend video tape it for youtube.

These kind of object lessons are priceless.

Sure it is for those who survive, or those who can watch the video of his gruesome demise and are smart enough to NOT repeat it!

I think it depends on the size of the boar. A 125lb runt would likely be your best bet. You may still get messed up, but probably not fatally. You may actually take him. But it would really be inhumane.

Now a 400lb locomotive of a boar is a different story. My money is on porky in that battle. They are way too fast, and way too mean. The only way you would get one to fight is if you cornered it or it felt threatened. Notify your next of kin before you take that Darwin challenge.

You would probly break you shin and the Hog would trip you up and then rip you to shreds! If you really think you can do this I know a ranch that could give you a shot at it and I wiould be more than willin to pay but you better fill out a will first

A scared wild animal, of almost any kind, over say 40lbs...is going to move faster, inflict more damage, and have an extraordinary pain tolerance compared to a human. Then you add a hundred more pounds and it's a trip to the ER. Animals fight to live where as we do it recreationally, if that.

Classic. Taken them with knives (with catch dogs) and got one with a knife (no dogs, but a couple other guys working) wouldn't go near one by myself, unarmed.

Why do we have all these "experts" trying to talk this lad out of trying? Afraid he'll make you look wimpy cause you can't/didn't? I say go for it!
You only go around once, and what you miss the first time is gone! I'm behind you my man, and I sure ain't worrying about a poor ass pig "suffering" in the process!

I'd have a weapon in my hand just in case.

wellwe have people experianced in thai boxing and pigs, and we both tend to agree that its not a very good idea

Never done any Thai boxing, but my experience with both tame and wild hogs says this is going to end up with an annoyed, angry hog, and at the very least a hurt, and disappointed "hunter".

If you do, tape it and put it up on Youtube. Don't forget to add the Carl Douglas song to it.

"Everybody was Kung Fu fightiiiiiiiiiiin"

Talk him out of it? Oh no no no, by all means go for it - and be sure to have somebody video your adventure. It's the sort of thing you could sell to a reality video TV show which they'd title something along the lines of "You ain't gonna believe what this fool did!"

And using your awesome martial arts powers on a boar is pretty certain to ensure that your "once go around" is considerably shorter than it might otherwise have been.

I'm behind you my man,

Well, you sure as heck picked the best place to stand. I wouldn't get between him and the beast either. Very prudent of you.

and I sure ain't worrying about a poor ass pig "suffering" in the process!

Now that's really funny. I wouldn't worry about the poor ass pig doing the suffering either. There'd be "suffering" aplenty, but old porky wouldn't be the one experiencing it.



I love this thread. Funny as all get out!

This is just what I needed today...

Fellas, we have just created a classic thread for the ages!!!



By the way, just in case the OP edits/deletes, we must save the original question for posterity (emphasis mine for hilarity):

So, basically, I'm not going to be PC in this topic. Please realize before I start that I DO respect the animal and DO intend to use the meat thereof, should I ever do it.

So, basically, I saw people hunting wild boar with only knives. That's insane, but not insane enough. I got to wondering whether I could put my martial arts skills to good use and literally kick one into unconsciousness with my feet. My Thai kicks are brutal and would almost certainly break a boar's rib (or am I underestimating how strong their bones are?).

Could it be done? I don't intend to try, but it'd be nice to know that I could. I wouldn't try for fear of being inhumane. Has anyone here hunted boar with a knife? Is it worth the experience?

im truly speechless. if you want to try and make human venison, at least videotape it!

I think I just peed a little laughing at the op


I need another beer
I agree, you should try it and video it for us.

Can't see through the tears, laughing.
trying out for one of the JACKASS movies? maybe?

This could be our very own "boar ninja" thread! I missed the tactical wheel barrow...I'll have to search that Moosehunt have you ever tried to handle a feral cat...they're small and they'll still make you quit. Much less a freakin boar. He should have it. Now I'm no guide but I'm gonna guess wild animals don't generally agree to fisticuffs. Or are you going to lure the hog into the Octagon?

wear this if you want a chance

Only if you want a chance

OP is full of crap. Maybe you should try hunting one with your airsoft gunzz?

Hey tough guy, you made me feel embarrased for you.

Lay off the fighting videos for awhile and find a girl.

The thought of having a boar trotting off with parts of my testicles on his snout.....hmmm......I think I would pass on that opportunity
