Fist, Finger, Second Knuckle Push-ups. A variety of push-ups for karate hand positions with a view to developing wrist, forearm and finger strength. gkcglobalshop....
As with so many of your uploads, I found this video very useful. Thank you for taking the time to create and share so much useful material. Warm regards, Ryan
I noticed that when the two middle knuckles connect in a punch, not exactly the same spot on the second knuckle makes the contact as when the first two knuckles connect. That's why I think that, to condition all your knuckles evenly, you need 3 sets of knuckle push ups: -One on your first two knuckles. -One on middle knuckles. -One on last two knuckles. Do you agree?
@@GKCgoju May I ask one more thing? Is it worth trying to do this kind of push ups as well to condition my lower knuckles? ua-cam.com/video/iHTJTI1omdk/v-deo.html
holy crap...pushups in a knuckle punch (with the hand turned into a sort of "thrusting weapon", not sure of the proper term), around 3:50), that's impressive!
Great instruction. Ive been doing fingertip pushups here and there but my figers are not straihgt like that, I'll have to start on my knees for that one i think haha.
@ GKCgoju : GREAT MAN, GREAT PERFORMER, GREAT CHAMPION. All my admiration, for your karate techniques must be as efficient as your fists are powerful ; and your mentality as noble as your techniques. Congratulations, mister !
I love your clips... if possible, could you make a video about tora guchi? Can't find any good videos about its application despite it being so common in goju katas.
nice! for what it's worth, though, i like doing the second knuckle pushups with the hands higher up and horizontal. i feel it translates better into the way i train the strike (although i haven't done them in some time... i'll probably do some later today).
One criticism is the volume difference between your theme music and your instruction voice. One has to turn up to hear and then be blasted as the video ends.
hmmm Yes, it will. But I think a bag with beans and sands inside it would be better. Because that's how I make my fists hard in my wing chun training. Or you can try kick trees softly and slowly if you just want to harden your shins.
Chris Morgan you can start with pushups standing - place finger tips against a wall and lean in then push back. Also on your knees as shown in the video.
@@GKCgoju plz teach me how to strengthen my knuckles to be strong enough to do push up on floor right now i can just do 2 knuckles push up on mat i just started
@@GKCgoju 34 years old i when i was teen age 12-17 i used to be very active walking minimum 4 hours daily and self exercise strength training..but when i become 18 i was busy with life i become lazy i stoped doing exercises....but now am 34 i want to start exercise again i looked at your video i was amazed by your fist strength my fist is very weak now every day i do cardio,resiatance,strength training when my muscles ache i take a day off
@@GKCgoju im at week 2, 15 reps each set for 5 sets with 15-30 seconds as u told me to. its hard to keep focusing on doing it on the FIRST TWO knuckles while still doing the set
This video impressed me very much ! Thank you for posting! You did hell of work to get to that condition. May I ask your help with mid finger ( you named it Nakadaka Ken ) striking hit position please. For index finger knuckle- your conditioning and hitting positions are exactly the same ( you forming a pike actually), however for mid finger you have to slightly close the grip and it becomes more weak construction (?) Appreciate in advance your valuable comment!
Dmitry Volkov yes, nakadaka ippon ken (middle finger) is challenging. In this video I don't show the full exercise but you're right, it gets weaker in structure when you close the fist so it is important support correctly with the other fingers. In my one knuckle makiwara video I show the fist formation.
Thank you very much for your prompt response! So the trick is to get middle finger supported good by other surrounding fingers as tight bind. We all would appreciate if you could dedicate some videos for Nakadaka Ken practice and the Thumb Trust ( I guess it is Boshi Ken) as well.
Dmitry Volkov yes, it's important how to bind the fingers but also to strengthen and condition; without strengthening it doesn't matter how you bind. I'll see about making a video.
I think impact training is foremost to train knuckles and finger strikes. The push-up is a reinforcing training method. By impact the bones of the knuckles will grow and the tendons and bones of the fingers will become stronger gradually to withstand direct impact on it. I use a computer mouse pad on a table hitting it with the tip of my fingers and extended knuckles; and hit a multi- layered pad of a cut old wet suit then hang it on a concrete wall as a backstop of the pad when hit so it will not move rearward. I feel the hard concrete but cushioned by the pad. the tip of my extended knuckles will not have callous over time while i strengthening my knuckles and fingers to withstand impact. Just my opinion and practice. please give information on knuckle and finger strike training method. Thanks.
Thank you for your comment. There are three videos on my channel that demonstrate makiwara strikes. One is mostly seiken the other two are ippon Ken strikes.
what is the purpose to do Push-Ups on you're fingers you dont hit with fingers only Knuckles the 2 first Knuckle it is the first you hit with and thing it's just follow?
Thanks for your question. There are many techniques to hit, gouge, grasp, with the fingers, but even if you only punch, fingertip pushups increase strength in the hand and forearm, in addition to making the push-up movement itself longer.
Sensei, my finger knuckles collapse a little when i do these. I built up to them slow and they don't cause me pain but I can't keep my fingers as straight as yours. Will my joints stiffen, strengthen and stop collapsing like yours or do you just have naturally strong joints? Do you muscularly hold them in place or do your fingers just not bend back like mine? I want strong stable finger joints like you!
I can't really give individual advice however I will say that it is important to always work progressively when developing strength. So for example if your fingers are bending and you are trying to keep them straight then the solution is to find a position where you can keep them straight and work on holding that position. For example if I can only hold that position for 10 seconds then I will perform 3 sets of 10 seconds consistently over time. With this practice I may then in time be able to hold the position for 30 seconds easily. At this point I will increase the load on my finger and repeat.
Cats with 5 claws on front paw does not support normally on all 5 when walking but instead only uses front 4, thumbs up.... drawn in. This align the bones of hand much more correct than when dooing 5 fingers set down to support. We should maybe consider learning from correct vs. what we think or want to be correct useage of hand when were down on 4 legs? Your cool, sifu, but still we need to make the lines from fingertipspushups not break anywhere, even if we can only take 1 pushup, I think... This way the bones in hand and fingers progressively follow the same unbroken line.
@@GKCgoju opposal thumbs? We have thumbs as cats as I see it, and we dont argument for our point of view but for finding truth, right? 4 fingers when leaving out littlefinger is not really relevant for relating to how we are made to move by evolution.
I don't have any problem with my joints. However, it's very important to build strength slowly and not just try to do the one knuckle push-up without adequate preparation. Expect the strength development to take time.
@@GKCgoju "Dhai kilo ka haath" means " Fist of 2.5kg" in Hindi. Referenced to power of someone's hand. It's a famous Hindi movie dialogue. You got a 5kg one (paanch kilo). Your command over your muscles is supreme master. I was actually a guy who was looking for long time on exercises that martial artists does to increase their strength and command over their muscles. Didn't find any. Then your video popped up. Splendid. I'm not a fan of huge muscles and body building, but a fan of functional strength. I request you to make more such videos. Apart from the technique, conditioning is also important, isn't it master. So, please teach us that too. Looking forward for more ❤️
@@anwarulhaq7393 If you are doing a fist knuckle push-up then for basic level focus on contacting the the index and middle finger knuckles on the floor.
M. FIGUIN that will depend on a lot of different factors that you should first check with your doctor. However, if you are cleared to do them you should start out gradually. You can begin with one hand flat and the other hand on fingers. You can also practice holding the position. You shouldn't feel any pain during or after the exercise.
First of all this video is not an instructional video. So I won't give advice as to sets and reps without knowing you personally. I will tell you what I do however. For regular pushups (palms) - To build up the number of reps you can do in one set: Find max number of push-ups in one set. Say it's 20, then perform 5 sets of 5 with 15 secs rest between sets for one week every day, or every other day depending on the individual's recovery abilities. At the end of the week go for max in one set. Now max is 25, so up sets to 5 sets of 6 and so on. Be careful with the finger and one knuckle push-ups. I would say do NOT attempt the more advanced hand formations until knuckle and five finger push-ups are as easy as regular palm push-ups. Joint pain during push-ups, after completion, over the next few days, etc., indicates incorrect practice.
The goal is to develop strong resilient wrists. Body type (genetics) is going to have some influence on wrist size. The exercises shown in this video will increase wrist size in addition to exercises such as chi'shi.
Turkic Sayajin well except that it can be dangerous! In addition some of the exercises are better performed with a round handle. Wielding a wood Chopping axe for its intended purpose will make strong wrists and forearms.
These types of push-ups will increase wrist stability, give you more options as far as fist types, in addition to increasing strength with the push-up exercises - so yes, it will contribute to punching power, however more importantly learn to use the whole body correctly when punching.
Old traditional karate training is the most effective in the street fight
Imagine this dude punches you...
Yeh some one would be dead
If he lands One punch,the fights over!
Or even worse if he uses tiger claws style strikes.
He grabs you, you fucked up
Wow what a great way to get arthritis.

Thank you for your comment.
Ohh good old karate good old days of my youth. OS.
Exactly the push-up tutorial I was looking for! Wonderful knowledge TY 🤜
Glad the video is helpful.
Thank you for the demonstration of variant ways to do pushups Sensei. You made it look so easy but, it really is painful.
Yes, takes a little time for some of the variations. Thanks for watching and your comment.

Isaac Netero hi am trying to practice 1 hand push up could u help?
Could u please post a video on all of this which u have written?
That's great.

Years of training to get this good form and ability
Yes, takes some consistency. Thanks for your comment.
Salute to you sensei

great form because most people bend the last part of the finger(too weak) while doing fingerpushups

His punches are probably hard
Nah, in the club I train in we do does too, but in boxing
That's quite good. Your hands are very well conditioning, sensei.
Thanks.
Good variations, great video, thanks!
Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you.

Is there a reason that you keep the buttocks slightly lifted ? As compared to keeping the whole body in one line?
Glad you like them!
