ivette_green Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I've been away from the boards for a while and now there seem to be kyokushin members that I've never seen before. Could I have a round of introductions? Where are you all from? How long have you been training?Thanks! "Don't tell me what I can't do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oahngoji Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I am a kyokushin karateka as well. I have been praticing it for quite a time. I know there is one uniqueness about "Japanese" Karate clubs-------push-ups are done by fists. Is that what you guys do as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koji-Kabuto Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 10th Kyu(Godwilling, 8th by end of week) here, also, pushups here depend on grading, whites usually do them regular, I and some others do them with my knuckles, and from 2ndkyu onwards, on 2 fingers.

Sometimes we do them with knuckles , 5 fingers , 3 fingers or even 1 finger . Moon might shine upon the innocent and the guilty alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meguro Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 In my dojo adults are only allowed to do Knuckle push ups. They're not that good, as they make it easier on the wrists. Thus meaning you don't work as hard. Although it can condition the knuckles.Don't understand how knuckle push-ups make it easier on the wrists. If anything, it places greater emphasis on stabilizing the wrist by tightening up your fist and forearms. You'd want this extra stability when hitting a heavy bag or your opponent right? How do adults do push-ups in your dojo? back to original topic. Kyokushin, 5-6 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chirath Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 How do adults do push-ups in your dojo? All the adults in my dojo do Knuckle push ups. I think your right about the knuckle push ups. I based my information on a diffrent post. But further research on google has disproved the statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
