Traditionally, only the women. It's an ancient martial arts fighting technique that was developed by a
lost Amazonian tribe of Boobarian indians. Scholars surmise that this brutal form of combat was initially developed to tenderize the
pork they ate but the women of the tribe
soon realized that it worked well keeping the
men folk of the tribe ... See Morein line. The technique was
lost as the tribe died out. In the early 1900's and young female schloar learned through research that she was a decendant of the Boobarian tribe. Her family had moved to Pittsburgh when she was young. Through careful study and practice, she revitalized the "hog" punch techniques. That woman was none other than
Sarah's great great great grandmother, Mertle Boos. And the rest as they say is
history. The technique has been passed down ever since to many generations of Boos women. Or at least that's how my Uncle Cliff Clavin told the story. :)
