Stickin Technique
Once the dogs have the pig by the ears, just slip on in from behind, lift a back leg with the non-master hand (pigs back right leg with your left hand, your right leg slightly forward, blade in your right. Keep that sucker close and stay in control) and drive the blade in behind the shoulder blade. remember that a pigs heart sits low in the chest so point down as you go in. the aim is to make the largest wound channel in the quickest time - pin the heart and it's all over in a minute.
If it all turns to **** - get in close and DON'T LET GO!!! At least not until you are back in control again. remember - A pig cannot bend it's spine like a dog or cat, so therefore if you hang on and stay at the back you won't get hurt, if you let go god help you.
From the shoulders forward they are pure muscle - try to wrestle with that and you will lose. the pigs "achilles heel" is that he cannot bend his spine and therefore is vulnerable to attack from the rear (I can hear the sniggers already - go get stuffed, we didn't film Deliverance). Remember that and you'll
be right.
As for staying in close - ask a farrier where he would want to stand if a horse was about to kick him - I bet he says in close so that there is no momentum in the blow (same as martial artists moving inside blows to gain the advantage and to take the sting out of there opponents attacks).

In Oz we have a saying "Any mug (fool) can grab a pig, but it takes a real man to let one go!!"
