Well you may be joking, but lately my Sensei has us doing knuckle push-ups!!! OMG it HURTS! I couldn't do more than 10 because they hurt so much  . I'm lucky that my kickboxing school incorporates alot of the traditional martial arts such as doing katas and kumite, so we kinda have the best of both worlds. Last nite we had such a hard class, that I physically felt sick - we all did actually. My Sensei had us doing leg combinations: (without putting your foot down) front-kick, side-kick, 3 round-kicks and then a spinning hook kick - NON-STOP THE WHOLE HOUR!!! I felt like I could take on the world after class though, so it was definately worth it!

Yes, i hear ya!
Kunckle Push ups are not fun neither are FingerTip PushUps (ugh).
Down in Texas ( while in traning in my TKD) I had a strict Sensi. If we didnt do the Kata right he would make us do Knuckle Push Ups and Finger Pushups as well. * 20 times each way*
At the end of the session I would thank him for the training and for the punishment.
Yea, it was painful but it built me inner strength and power that I thought never existed.
But since i am a nice Dragon- I dont do that no more--- Only on Exercises..
But its worth it---trust me!

You'll make it ~

I don't find knuckle pushups hard anymore - i just did them and did them and did them.... i did knuckle conditioning by punchin solid objects so i could build up the scar tissue around my knuckles and kill off the pain. I'm just feral i guess. Pushups are easy though, i do sets of 20/30 and can go over 200. i think my best in a row is like 103. It's great stuff!
Oh by the way if anyone didn't already know: Angus, 18, Australia - zendokai karate, hapkido, brazilian jiu jitsu, freestyle kickboxing, wushu, boxing, goju ryu karate - and i'm looking into zengoshu karate as well. I've been doing the MA's since i was 6.
Moderator of the General Karate and Jiu Jitsu forums.
Only problem with me is i like to drink and love to eat - so i'm not at my peak fitness by any standards. I can still kick some serious donkey though.
