Plyometric Push-Up

Plyometric Push-Ups

This page will teach you how to do Plyometric Push-Ups (or Plyo Push-Ups). These push-ups are a great exercise to improve your punching power. This plyometric exercise works on a martial artist’s chest, shoulder and arm strength.

This is an advanced push-up variation. A plyo push-up is typically just done with a “push” in order to get the body into the air. However, for an even more advanced exercise, martial artists can try to clap when in the air.

All stretches and exercises should be supervised by a trained martial arts instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized. For more exercises, please visit the main Martial Arts Strength Training page.
