Our sifu gets us to do knuckle push ups on his wooden floor, and only on the first two fingers (index and middle), so with alot of your body weight on just those knuckles they can get pretty sore. But it helps condition them and you begin to get used to it. You can also just hold the push up position, either in the normal ready position (high) or close to the ground (low....), which is good static training.
Other than that we also have to do a more intensive static training stance called Gin Gong. Where you start in a push up position (with all your weight on the front two knuckles of each hand), and then lift one arm so that the fist points towards the ceiling. Your body should be turned sideways and your feet outstretched with top leg slightly in front of the bottom leg to help balance yourself. Try to make sure your shoulder is inline above your knuckles Hold that position concentrating on your breathing and once you have had enough, switch arms. This is a great stance for shoulders, back, lats, obliques, arms, wrists & knuckles.
I hope this can help you in your training.
