ramymensa Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 We do knuckle push ups. Some don't, because they can't, but for me they are more "comfortable" than the others. It has helped me a lot. Though I've got tiny wrists they are quite strong and my BF stopped laughing at my skinny fizique when he noticed my wrists are not weak as he thought.

aefibird Posted April 5, 2004 Posted April 5, 2004 We do knuckle and fingertip push ups, as well as regular ones, but finger & knuckle PU's can be done if we're doing normal ones for if you want to make your workouts harder. Only adults do finger tip and knuckle PU's. Juniors just do flat hand press ups and dont have to do as many. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

Fish Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Since starting karate last Nov, I've started doing some knuckle and some fingertip pushups every day. Knuckles are ok - I find fingertips a killer! I could only do 5 at first, now I can just about do 10. Does anyone else have that problem? "They can because they think they can." - School Motto.(Shodan 11th Oct 08)
