Frank Yee's dit da jow: Is it any good?

[word]

The only way you will EVER get a good recipe for dit dat jow is from a sifu that gives it to you. NO sifu in his right mind will sell a really good recipe in a magazine. He will only give it to a few select students.

[qy]

forgive me but I think you have it backwards.... You are soposed to earn your Sifu's trust. He is soposed to let You know when it is time to more on to iron plam.

Find a sifu that you want to earn the respect of, work for that. When the time comes for "special training" He or She will let you know.

It really is not a good idea to mix jow from one place and training from another.

Why is that?

Well, Brain Gray, Wing Lam,and Paul Hwang all sell there jows in magazines. Do you think that all of these guys need psychological help?

I have read that frank Yee has shared his own personal dit da jow formula on his hung gar tapes that he made with ESPY-tv. Is it good for iron palm, breaking boards, hitting and kicking bags, and wooden dummy training? I know that Frank Yee is supposed to be a well-respected sifu.

Here it is. The first one is a Dit Da Jow the second is a defacto "iron palm medicine" (武术铁拳擦). The names are in Cantonese:

1. Dong Gwai mei (root of a plant. is warm and sweet & spicy
2. Tin Chut (main root, is warm Sweet and Little Bitter
3. Tau Yan (seed of prune, is Neutral, Swee and Bitter)
4. Chek Cheuk (part of root, Cool and bitter ( 1-4 reduce swelling and Pain)
5. Sou Muk (body/stem of plant, Warm and Bitter)
6. Hung Fa (Flower Head, Warm and Spicy)
7. Jat Lan - (Leaf, Branch or Stem of Plant, Little Warm, Sweet & Bitter) (5-7 reduce bruises, black & blues, promote circulation to damaged areas)

19. Mood Yeuk (Nectar of Skin/Sap of Plant (Neutral and bitter)
(17-19 Stops Bleeding of Minor cuts/scratches on injury,

20. Gum Cho (Root, Neutral, & Sweet)- combines medicine and kills germs(anticeptic)
