Makiwara Training -Dit Da Jow- 2 oz bottle

[opr1945100]

"This herbal liniment is specially designed to support and enhance hard conditioning training such as with the rope, straw., canvas or leather covered wooden Makiwara.

This liniment is best for conditioning the hard bones of the body as opposed to areas with large muscle mass. Bony areas with little muscle require strengthening of the skin to resist abrasions, cuts, and ruptures. Use this for training the knuckles, shins, elbows, heel of the foot, knees, etc.

This formula is also very good for practitioners of joint locking, throws and holds such as found in aikido, judo, jiu jitsu, hapkido, etc. It will increase the strength, and resistance of your joints.

For external use only.

Depends on the formula. There is probably a lot of junk out there, but also some good stuff. You need to know the right people, to get the good stuff. Often the older Sifu would have a formula that they kept close to the vest. Only their students would get to use it.

I believe @KungFuWang posted a recipe on this site at one point. He could probably offer some solid information on the topic.

This is used for the long fist system iron palm training. When full contact Karate was popular, many Karate guys hurt their hand by using ridge hand in striking. They told me that this medicine helped them a lot.

It can be translated by AI into English if you need it. I'm pretty sure the "tiger bone" has to be replaced by something else.

The other idea is using white spirit, but that's probably not to be recommended

chatgpt, which is largely why I'm asking if it was correct. Pasted a picture of the document, gave context of what it was/asked for the recipe in english, and that's what it spat out.

*muses* The other advantage that the makiwara has over the heavy bag is that, because there is no padding between your fist and the target, it teaches you how to do kime properly. Since I learned to do that my hands have been a lot less mashed up after makiwara hitting. It's also known as 'the board of wisdom' and the first piece of wisdom it gave me was not to abuse training equipment

Dit Da Jow works, IF you are buying from a reputable source. I have always used Dale Dugas (I think he used to post on here once in awhile) and know he uses quality ingredients. I know there are other companies also that use quality supplies.

This is the formula used for Iron Hand/Palm (Makiwara Training):
