Cheradenine Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 I've been doing pressups on concrete for a while now, and although my right primary 2 knuckles are callised and rock hard, the left middle knuckle is quite senitive under the skin, like some sort of infection. Dunno if anyone can suggest anything other than lay off the left knuckle for a while, but has anyone else had anything like this?
ForeverTheArt Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 id say stop the concrete pushups, i see no point in them, who needs conditions kuckles? it wont make them harder to break. To advance the art,To honor my sifu,To fight for the sake of the fight.
Ironberg Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 Some time ago, I injured my right middle knuckle for mostly the same reason. Although the injury wasn't serious it was enough to make me not do any empty hand pounding on the heavy bag for some time. Be careful... I'm not saying you shouldn't condition the hands, just do it slowely and preferably with instructor consent. Talk to your instructor about it. Ask him what he does for hand conditioning for breaking/ bareknuckle fighting or whatever.
