So are there any other people that brew their own Jow or equivalents of it on this forum?

I never brewed any, no. I haven't seen any in a long time. Long time ago we used to buy it in Boston's Chinatown section. We were under the impression it was used for toughening of the skin and used to put it on our knuckles and feet. It might be the most foul smelling stuff I've ever encountered - which made us think it must work great. I have no idea what the heck it actually was.
Does it work well for bruises? And does the stuff you use have a strong odor?
I used to use something similar but that was in my early days of Silat, now I don't need it anymore due to my hardened forearms. Did maybe a bit to much conditioning : )
I can't feel anything on my forearms or shins due to extensive conditioning but I still bruise. Maybe it is my fair complexion?
Yes I do. Here is my formula in Chinese.So are there any other people that brew their own Jow or equivalents of it on this forum?

Ok you guys are upsetting me with all this silat talk since its one of the many styles I'd love to train but am unable to since there isn't an instructor near my residence.
We are you then? Maybe we can help you....
I don't want to derail the topic ofcourse
Good luck with that I'm out in Eastern WA state (Kennewick) there's a legit kali instructor where I'm at but unfortunately my work schedule messed up the opportunity to train with him. I am doing aikido which is taught more reality based compared to most aikido dojos so its keeping me entertained while I still continue learning since my goal is to never stop learning. The Aikido is also complementing my prior martial arts background so im pretty happy with it.

I use dit da jow pretty regularly-both home made with cheap vodka, and a few store-bought varieties, over the years-those mostly from curiousity, as my recipe seems to work pretty well.....
BTW, it's not strictly "brewed," if there's no boiling done-what you have with most dit da jow is a concoction and infusion.
just sayin'.....:lol:
If I were in Washington state I would train with Stevan Plinck. Even if I could only make it there once in awhile. PUKULAN PENTJAK SILAT SERA PLINCK | Everything "SERA"
Thanks for the clarification well I can make it entertaining and put a bunch of 80 proof vodka over an open flame and brew it I'll just make sure to film it and youtube it when I set the house ablaze.
