Thread: Dit Da Jow Vendors

    Dit Da Jow Vendors

    Bearing in mind I am writing from England, where can I get some Dit Da Jow?
    Online? Or maybe I can make some? I have a recipie (in Chinese) in The Art Of Shaolin Kung Fu by Wong Kiw Kit. Anybody managed it?
    Does the stuff work? The reason I ask is because I bruise my knuckles (I think) whenI work on the heavy bag, even though I use wraps AND mitts. They hurt when I put pressure on them. Sounds like bruising to me. Do you think I could be causing any permanent damage?

    How do you spell recepie? :confused:

    Dit Da Jow recipe and herbs.

    A good all purpose Dit Da Jow recipe can be found at www.wingchun.org/text/misc/jow2.html

    The herbs can be obtained from www.baldwins.co.uk who do a good home delivery service.

    The Herb 'Breadtstraw' is called 'Ladies bedstraw' in the UK. Camomile is spelt differently (Chamomile), The stinging nettles are just 'nettles' and the common moss is 'irish moss'.

    It costs around £15 for all the herbs (which is drastically less than the usual Chinese herbs) plus the price of a couple of bottles of Vodka.

    I've made some and it works well.
    Hope this is of help.

    Regards

    Dave F.

    I'm not a Pom (from Oz.. it's a friendly term for the most part) so I cannot give you any references to places to buy. I can, however, say that Dit Da Jow can work very well, if you get the right stuff.

    I'd be a bit worried if I was bruising my knuckles on a heavy bag. I use a heavy bag, and I don't bruise my knuckles too easily on it.

    Thought to ponder: How long have you been training? Could this perhaps be a factor?

    Not long

    Yeah I've only had the bag for about 1.5 months, so maybe thats it. My knuckles bleed on pads as well, so maybe my hands are just not used to the impact.

    Don't put the jow on open wounds. Not only are many recipies poisonous, but all recipies will inhibit the healing of cuts. They kind of act like a meat tenderizer. Great for bruising, bad for cuts.

    If you pr!ck us, do we not bleed? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that the villany you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction. MOV

    I am pretty sure that plumdragonherbs.com sells loose items for your own recipe. I've not bought any but I did by their Jow and it is very good.

    Because Chinese Quackery is more on topic than German Quackery.

    Plum Dragon jow is decent and I know the person who makes it.

    I also make some of the strongest out there.

    What are you looking for?

    jow for injuries? or jow for conditioning?

    Let me know how I can be of service to you.
