I notice that most of you dont say Why you want Dit Da Jow and what your going to do with it.
These are important questions as there are a great many Jows to make, each one is used for different things. | ” |

A majority of people use jow as a bruise liniment. The fact that not everybody comes right out and says, "Im going to use this dit da jow for this bruise on my shin and so it has du zhong in it" doesnt mean that they dont know what theyre doing. Really, its beside the point because this thread isnt about "why" everybody uses jow; although, it could be a fun thread, perhaps you should start one.

Dit da jow is a great training tool that can be, and is, used from practically day 1 at many schools due to the types of exercises that are done; its not some mystical potion reserved only for white-haired wizards. Also, knowing the ingredients and what they do for you is not a prerequisite to using jow, and more work to *really* know whats going on than any beginner/intermediate kung fu student need be thrown at them. Moreover, in todays day and age, even most sifus cant give you a quantatitive analysis on each ingredient, active compound, and essential/volatile oils, or the effect of each singularly and combined...Thats why many martial arts schools do the sensible thing and buy from somebody like me
