And then by the time the “Kung Fu” series came out along with the first Bruce Lee films, I really wanted to train. And in the mid‑60s, “The Wild Wild West” with Robert Conrad, “The Green Hornet” with Bruce Lee. I remember at age nine seeing Peter Lorre as Mr. The initial impetus was the depiction of it in films and TV. So Al, how did you get started in the martial arts in the first place?Īl McLuckie:  Hi Brad. And so, we’re going to get started and talk to Al a little about his experience with the martial arts. He’s actually the person who got me into Systema. Al has been in various martial arts and Chinese martial arts, Philippine and Indonesian martial arts. I’m the Head of School at Systema Colorado and with me today we have Al McLuckie, fellow Systema instructor and long‑time martial artist. Dit dat jow works on a deeper level, not like those quick "menthol burn" types with no healing benefit.Brad Scornavacco :  Hi everybody this is Brad Scornavacco. The stuff you find on the shelves at a normal supermarket, are pain remedies. I'm not going to recommend any names in particular, that's not why I posted. There are a billion recipies, various ready-made types, and many secret recipies that are kept in the family. This is just FYI, so you know about it, and then can do your own research and come to your own conclusions. While it is aging, I have to make do with some pre-bottled commercial dit dat jow, which is not as strong, but still much better than nothing. The direct massage helps a lot, and the medicine itself always makes recovery incredibly fast in my opinion. It is common for my fingers to get tired doing this.

This continues for 15 to 30 minutes, using firm pressure to work the medicine through the skin and into the areas underneath. When my fingertips start to dry out and as the medicine is absorbed, I moisten them again on the dish and repeat until it is gone. I dip my fingertips to moisten them in the liquid, then begin working it directly into my damaged muscles, tendons, etc. Perhaps a 1/4 tsp is poured out onto a small dish at a time. I use a 2 oz glass bottle with dropper to bottle it for use. Even if I spent $35 or $70 for the herbs, which is how much some of the stronger recipies cost, it's still a ton of medicine. Such a large quantity should last me a few years, so as it continues to age it will become stronger.

Every week or so I will gently roll / move the container to get the contents moving around while it is aging. It will be ready to use starting in 30 days. I went to a chinese pharmacy and purchased a $10 herb formula of dit dat jow, then soaked it in 1.75 liters of vodka in a leakproof container (glass, ceramic, stored in a dark place). I use it after every ring training session and before bed, allowing me to heal much faster and miss less training days after pulling something. But I did get the elbow tendonitis before ie after arm wrestling, progressing too fast on rings, etc.įor such injuries as these, in my experience dit dat jow is ideal for speeding up the healing process. I can't remember the last time I got a bruise, it just doesn't happen anymore these days. It also speeded up the healing process for sprains, muscle damage, etc. It would be rubbed gently directly into bruises for up to 30 minutes, allowing them to heal faster. As a kid I used to get bruises on my shins, in which case my dad would bring out a bottle of the "bruise medicine".
