Kits Dit Da Jow 跌打酒 Traditional ‘Fall and Hit Liniment’ Kits Dit Da Jow 跌打酒 One of the classical specialties of Chinese medicine was known as Fall and Hit Medicine, or Die Da Ke 跌打科 in Mandarin. This was the original medicine to treat traumatic injury and pain, and included a wide variety of therapies including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, physical manipulation, and therapeutic exercises. One of the very characteristic forms of herbal medicine from this specialty was external herbal applications in the forms of poultices, soaks, oils and liniments. In particular, liniments became famous in martial arts circles for their efficacy in treating all sorts of pain and injury. These traditional liniments are called Die Da Jiu 跌打酒 ("Fall and Hit Wine") in Mandarin, or Dit Da Jow in Cantonese, the name more commonly seen in the western world. While commercially produced Dit Da Jow are commonly available, authentic hand made Dit Da Jow is becoming a thing of the past. Now, martial arts schools can make their own Dit Da Jow with pre-made kits. Each kit comes with a glass container and enough herbs to make either ½ gallon or 1 gallon of finished liniment. The alcohol base, preferably vodka, is not supplied. Several standard pre-made formulas are available (depending on herb availability), or custom made formulas can be made to order. 1 Available Formula Kits TAIJI (TAI CHI) FIVE FRAGRANCE LINIMENT 太極五香酒 Taiji Five Fragrance Liniment comes from Dr. McCann's Taiji (Tai Chi) lineage, and was a formula used by Taiji Grandmaster Feng Zhiqiang. A version of it also was used in the Shaolin Temple, the famous birthplace of many Chinese martial arts. It is designed to treat acute or chronic injury, bruising, low back pain, pain and swelling due to fracture or dislocation, and other similar conditions as it contains mostly blood and qi moving herbs. The final product is fragrant and a beautiful red-orange color. ½ Gallon Kit - $45 • 1 Gallon Kit $75 NEW INJURY JOW 新傷跌打酒 This formula contains herbs that have a blood and qi moving effect that are also cooling. Therefore it was traditionally used for new injuries where there is redness, swelling, heat and pain – it can be thought of as a type of “herbal ice.” The formula should not be used on open wounds, and should not be used for more long-term arthritis or chronic injuries when there are no heat signs. This is a must have however in martial arts training halls where injuries are common. ½ Gallon Kit - $30 • 1 Gallon Kit $50 SOOTHE THE SINEWS JOW 舒筋跌打酒 This formula moves static blood and warms the channels, and is especially useful for more chronic injuries to the tendons and joints. Martial artists traditionally used this formula to treat more chronic areas of pain or tightness, or injuries that recur with regular training. Unlike the previous formula, it is not used for acute injuries. However, together these two are an excellent pair to keep on hand. ½ Gallon Kit - $40 • 1 Gallon Kit $60 WIND DAMP JOW 風濕酒 In Chinese medicine, arthritic conditions are said to be due to the invasion of wind, damp and cold into the joints. This formula is a classical combination used to treat arthritis, chronic areas of tightness, or other old injuries, especially when pain is worse in cold or in damp weather. It is also useful for chronic neck and back pain. Martial artists who practice Makiwara, wooden dummy, or other striking of hard surfaces can use this formula on hands as a training aid. ½ Gallon Kit - $32 • 1 Gallon Kit $54 2 THIRTY SIX INGREDIENT JOW 三十六味跌打酒 Thirty Six Flavor Jow is a complex traditional formula designed to treat all sorts of chronic injuries or arthritic conditions, and is a stronger formula than the Wind Damp Jow (this is one of the strongest formulas we have). This formula is not for acute injury. This formula contains a number of hard to find toxic herbs that are traditionally thought to be very effective pain management treatment. It also contains snake, a classical medicine for chronic pain and neurological conditions. ½ Gallon Kit - $45 • 1 Gallon Kit $75 CUSTOM FORMULAS Formulas can be custom designed for martial arts schools, martial artists, professional athletes, or other people with similar health concerns.

  • 2020 Conference Workshop Information FINAL
    2020 KEYNOTE AND PLENARY DESCRIPTIONS Keynote: Ken Cohen Keynote Title: The Way of Qigong: Ancient Roots, Scientific Branches Description: In the fifth century BCE Lao Zi, the founder of Daoism, wrote, “Returning to the root is called tranquility and the renewal of life.” In this dynamic talk, Ken Cohen will explore the ancient sources of qigong in Shamanism, Daoism, and Chinese medicine, and how qigong’s healing benefits are validated by modern science. Yet qigong is far more than a complementary therapy; rather, through its gentle exercises and meditations, it links us to the source of life energy in the universe, what in China is called “the original qi of Heaven and Earth.” It thus reboots the body’s entire healing system and restores balance and harmony. Bio: Ken Cohen, M.A. (www.qigonghealing.com) is a renowned Qigong Grandmaster, author of The Way of Qigong (Random House) and more than 250 journal articles, including various works in the Chinese language. With more than 50 years of experience, he was the first person to lecture about qigong in U.S. medical schools. Ken is the recipient of the International Lifetime Achievement Award in Energy Medicine. Plenary Presenter Name: Jianye Jiang Bio: Jianye Jiang has made it his life’s mission to not only continually develop himself as a martial artist but to also dedicate himself to the teaching of authentic Chinese martial arts here in America. He was born China in 1950. He began studying martial arts the age of 5, learning from the most well known masters (including Yu Mingwei, Yu Hai and many others).

  • Fall and Strike, Tieh Ta Herbal Medicine Many People Tend to Think
    Fall and Strike, Tieh ta Herbal Medicine Many people tend to think of all pain as the same. When you are hurt, pain is often the most important symptom you want to address. When you want the most effective treatment, it helps to identify the type of pain you are dealing with. I came into herbal medicine from the world of martial arts training. Healing and martial arts training have traditionally been associated for the very practical reason that people get hurt when they are training. Martial arts medicine is generally referred to as "Tieh Ta" medicine, or literally "fall and strike" medicine. The herbal formulas designed to treat pain and heal broken tissue still have a place in our modern society. Understanding the nature of pain can help you choose the medicine that will help you heal faster. Many of the traditional tieh ta treatments came in the form of topical salves, plasters and liniments that would be applied to the injured area. Variations of these ancient formulas still exist on store shelves. Muscle rubs and liniments often contain some of the same herbs or herb extracts from these ancient formulas. The best formula should be determined by the type of pain you are experiencing. In traditional herbal medicine, pain is classified as a lack of movement of energy. Pain can be broadly classified in one of four combinations: hot excess; hot deficient; cold excess; and cold deficient. These descriptions are defined in this way: Hot pain – (usually a recent injury). Tissue is red or swollen, or feels warmer to the touch than surrounding tissue.

  • Southern Mantis System Are Short Range, Based on Inch Force Power That Comes from Tendon Contraction
    Southern Praying Mantis system written by F.Blanco 1.ORIGINS In 1644 AD, the Manchurian tribe had invaded China and defeated the Ming dynasty rulers. Ming loyalist, nobles and soldiers, escaped and went south. As pointed by the Wushu historian Salvatore Canzonieri, many of this rebels relocated in the The Honan Shaolin. The Ching rulers discovered the temple was a focus of resistance and they burned Songshan Shaolin in 1768. After the destruction of the temple many of the Chu family and other nobles and also many Shaolin monks from Honan moved to the South Shaolin temples (Fujian and Jian Shi). The Chu Gar style legend mentions Tang Chan, (his real name was Chu Fook Too or Chu Fook To), who belonged to the Ming Imperial court (1) as one of this rebels that emigrated to the Southern temples. At the Fujian temple (located in the Nine Little Lotus Mountains) the monks and rebels shortened the time it took to master the boxing styles from 10 years to 3 years with the purpose of train quickly the fighters to overthrow the Ching rulers and restore the Ming dynasty. The Chu Gar legend says that Chu Fook Too became abbot in the Fujian temple and changed his name to "Tung Sim" (anguish) due to his deep anguish and hatred for the Ching's reign of terror and suffering. In the style's legend he was the person that developed the Southern Praying Mantis style. The monks (or Chu Fook Too himself) developed kung fu fighting styles that were faster to learn, based on close range fighting, designed to defeat a martial art skilled opponent (Manchu soldiers and Imperial Guard) with fast, powerful chains of attacks that left no time for counter-attacks.

  • How to Stop Bleeding
    HOW TO STOP BLEEDING Managing Common Injuries in the Martial Arts Article Written by Thomas Richard Joiner Published in martialforce.com The empirical medical skills that were perfected over the course of many centuries by our martial ancestors through the difficult often painful process of trial and error consisted mainly of ancient Ta- oist healing practices along with techniques that were a carry over from the branch of traditional Chi- nese medicine called Dit Da Yao — more commonly referred to as “hit medicine.” Some of the pri- mary tools for managing injuries included techniques like re-setting bones that had been broken or dislocated from a joint, known as bone-setting; a technique called bleeding that was performed by piercing the skin in order to release bruised-blood caused by blunt force trauma, often described as being all black and blue; in addition to using herbs in conjunction with techniques frequently used in Chinese Trauma medicine for treating internal as well as external bleeding. It was the need to manage minor injuries like muscle strains and sprained ligaments — which were considered unavoidable consequences of training — as well as serious combat wounds such as incisions, stab wounds, and blunt force trauma caused by empty hand strikes and strikes from an assortment of solid objects, that was the primary motivation for martial artists to develop skills in Osteopathy, Traumatology and Herbology. With limited medical options, a martial artist’s ability to skillfully apply emergency first-aid techniques along with administering herbal prescriptions with prov- en curative abilities was often a matter of life or death.
