Iron fist results

That's exactly what it does. For people who have a problem with bending the wrist when punching a heavy bag. Knuckle push ups will fix that issue.

I do knuckle push ups on soft surfaces, gym mats or grass so I can punch into the ground or mat. It's mainly a wrist strengthening exercise for me. The Art of Keeping my Wrist straight.

long ago, we used 2 US army duffle bags filled with sand and small rock at the bottom...supported by a chain attached to a steel beam,,,

The bag must have weighed around 300 lb 136 kg,,,the fabric was very corse canvas...
One soon learned what would happen if punched off center.or the body structure was not correct.

People would laugh when someone made a mistake, the usual comments @#$& ! followed with stopping, to survey the damage.
resume again if possible. lesson learned.

Still have slight calluses, on the 2nd knuckles from practicing the cup choy "overhand"

Our gym oriented towards fighting. No general classes
If one could not survive the training, perhaps it was not the gym for them.

Moderation in all things, especially moderation. Personally, i don't think a few knuckle pushups are going to give you deformed hands, just straight wists and a little mild calloussing

At 4:03, Valentina teaches Nina her knuckle push ups.

To each is own, but seems extreme and disfiguring, but then again I haven’t had the desire to actually climb Mt Everest, wingsuite glide off the Alps or wrestle Alligators…

Knuckle push ups are great. I do them with arms and hands tucked tight to the sides. When down the arms and fists are roughly where they'd be if chambered at the ribs before a punch. Fist is positioned vertically, tilted so that only the first two knuckles are resting on the ground. When you go up the elbows stay tight to the side, almost as if pushing yourself up with a kihon type punch. Like Jowga said, great for wrist alignment and strengthening. Putting one foot over the other so that only the balls of one foot are touching the ground adds some difficulty to them since balance then comes into play.
