Learn Knuckle Push-ups

Learn a progressive method to develop knuckle push-ups in one month. The purpose of knuckle push-ups is to strengthen the wrist for punching with the index and middle finger knuckle. Wrist stability is key to prevent injury to yourself when delivering a punch.
Begin on a soft surface and follow the progression shown in the video. You’ll be doing full knuckle push-ups on any surface after just a few weeks.

@@GKCgoju the emphasis on wrist alignment while performing the top two knuckle push ups has improved the exercise. Thanks again.

[@GKCgoju]

@@Ferrin10 you're most welcome. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@GKCgoju]

That depends on your goal. Most karate styles punch with the first two knuckles therefore these pushups typically focus on them also.

Should fists 👊 be vertical? Is there a disadvantage to rotating into a horizontal movement? Thanks 🙏

[@GKCgoju]

You can practice both ways. The advantage in the beginning if doing shoulder width pushups is that the vertical fist alignment keeps the shoulders in a natural position.

Are you supposed to do it with only the first two knuckles sir?
Because I've been doing them with the last three for around 2 monts now😅
Please tell me is it only the first two knuckles?

I used to rest my body weight on 3 back knuckles because I thought it would distribute more bodyweight. 😅 I can do 30 to 40 normal pushups but only 5 to 6 knuckle pushups on hard surface and 9 to 10 on soft surface. Hope i will improve

[@GKCgoju]

Excellent. Knuckle push-ups are more difficult because of pressure on a small surface area (two knuckles joints), wrist stability, and because you are forced to travel further due to the hand position. Keep up the good work.
