1 - Practice on a heavy bag every day. Time your punches (x times in one min) and then keep trying to beat that time. Within a couple of weeks you will start getting faster.
2 - Run, get a treadmill and run.
3 - Practice. Try to see the oppontents move (in the shifting of his body weight) before he moves.
4 - Stretch. Sit in front of the t.v. in a stretched position and hold it.
5 - Jumping on a trampoline will build the muscles you need to start. After that get some leg weights and jump up the stairs, up on chairs, etc.
6 - Most bricks are heate up in the over and then frozen so they will break easily, most boards are broken with the grain running up and down and they use weak wood. These are tricks. Unless you are attacked by a building or a tree I wouldn't worry about it.
7 - Build and use a Makiwara. Here are instructions
http://www.karatetips.com/articles/howtomakeamakiwara.asp
8 - Practice, Learn to chamber your kicks before and after the actual kick. This will help to keep your body centered and not off balance.
9 - Use the top part of your body to offset the weight of the leg that is out. This takes practice. It also helps to grip the floor with your toes and do it on a hard surface (wood floor not a mat)
10 - Go to a gymnastics school to learn all of this stuff.
11 - To help "strengthen" your back and spine, I would do excersizes for the lower back and butt area. Build these muscles and it will strengthen your back.

Hope this did it for you

1. u cannot increase speed that much, best way is punching and kicking something.
2. running cardio, bike, swim, or hike.
3. sprints, jumping
4. leg stretching (hard to explain)
5. jump more
6. why would u want to do that?
7. u can harden your hands by punching anything hard, wood or a hard textbook. until ur knuckles hurt.
8. u learn balance automaticly nothing teachable, just try balancing whenu do a high kick, no way to teach u, unless your high kick is wrong,
9. same idea balance on one leg, just standing no easy way of teaching this.
10. U might want some help doing this or at least practice at a pool.
11. u cant harden your spine lol but u can lift weights using your back.
hopes this answers all your questions

1) Tie small weights to your arms and legs. Punch and kick for as long as you can. Once it's as easy as it was before without weights, get heavier ones. Do this a little each day until you can punch and kick as fast as you used to be able to without weights. When you kick and ounch without weights, you'll be probably more than twice as fast as you were before.

2) Work very hard on your endurance and do a small warm-up before each exercise you do. Concentrate and take deep breaths.

3) Practice sharp turns while running and build up your reflexes while doing this. For example, pretend you're dodging projectiles while running, or even better, have someone actually throw objects that won't really hurt you, like paper balls. This'll help you have quick reactions so if this ever happens to you where, you're getting thrown at you like bricks or heavy stuff where you can get hurt you will have practiced your agility and be able to defend yourself.

4) Sit on the floor and stretch out one leg. The other should be bent and on its side. Stretch out your arm as far as you can and keep it there for about 10 seconds. You should not feel that much pain while doing this, just a little. Then repeat with the other leg. Do this a little a day until on both sides you can get our hand halfway down your foot. Your legs will have more flexibility, and so will your back and spine.

5) Start by concentrating on getting as much energy as possible to your feet. Then start running to get some momentum. Do not sprint at full speed or you will use up all your stamina. When you feel you are running at a fast enough speed, incline on your right or left foot (if you're a leftie, left, if you're a rightie, right) and push at the ground with all the power you have left in your feet.

6) Start by practicing on thin boards and work your way up slowly. Use the side of your hand next to your palm, the part next to your fingers is not as strong and if you don't break the plank you'll feel more pain.

7) Same as Number 6.

8) If you can't keep your balance practice balancing on one leg until you can stay almost absolutely still. Then do the other leg. This requires massive concentration.

9) Same as Number 9.

10) For backflip, first practice in water that's about up to your waist. When you can do a backflip in this water, go shallower and shallower until you can do it in water that's knee-deep. When you can do this, try it in sand or other soft ground. After this you should be able to do a backflip anywhere.

11) Sorry, don't know that one.

Good luck, you're very determined and you can be a famous martial artist someday.

1) Wear weights when training. remember to do as many reps. as possible. Martial arts is a lot of muscle memory so get used to doing things over and over again.
2) To increase your stamina make sure you hava balanced diet, and before a battle always have a high carb diet!.
3) To increase your ability to speed training do rep's and rep's continue to practice adn do stretches that allow you to increase the bend spin of what ever it is you want to increase.
4) To increase the flexibility of your legs stretch them 3 times a day. as well stretch your knee's!
5) as your leg strength continues you will be able to jump higher.
6) Deaden the nerves punch hard thigns but not enough to break your hand jsut enough so it hurts.
7) Same thing as above hit hard things.
8) Practice
9) Practice
10) practice. (tuckign head and rolling)
11) you can't, just lift heavy things!

Let's see, this is going to take some time so I apologize for long answers...

1. Speed drills with weights and proper technique are the best way to increase speed. Also try things such as a speed bag to help increase coordination, any good dojo will show you the drills in how to increase this speed. Add weight or rubber resistance with your technique and it was get stronger and faster.

2. Stamina is the easy part in theory, hardest to practice. A fighter wants sprinters wind, running 20 miles won't help you. However Sprinting a half mile then jogging a mile will help. In addition to practicing your martial art, running, doing stairs, and sprints will help with stamina. Run how you are going to fight, if it is for competition, go 3 minutes then rest 1 minute etc.

3. Agility, Flexibility go hand in hand. As you practice your art and your movements will become more fluid and you will become more agile in general, especially holding stances or switching them rapidly. (this is true even in matwork).

4. Flexibility: The most effective form of stretching is called PNF stretching, it involves you holding a stretch for say 5 seconds, releasing them immediately restretching for 30 or so seconds. This will greatly increase flexibility, it tricks your brain into allowing you to stretch longer. You can look up the scientific explanation if you want. Also Yoga is great for flexibility.

5. Jumping high. Plyometrics and body resistance, try doing "Star Mans" essentially start from a squat and jump as high as you can spreading your legs and arms, then bringing them back in before landing. Add weight to your legs while doing this and you are really cooking. Doing even 20 or 30 a day and in a months time you will see a difference in your ability to jump. There are several exercises like this, even if you just jump from a full squat 30 times a day you will gain a lot in your height.

6. Bone conditioning, this kind of falls within number 7 too. I don't know your age, I would suggest against this as it will give you a lot of problems later in life, I can hardly bend a few of my fingers because of this. Begin by hitting a heavy bag, (wrist wrapped) also do the same with kicking. Eventually you will find that it hurts less and less. Move on to something harder, a padded board, do the same. Keep in mind what you are doing is developing microfractures in your bones, where they are forced to reheal and become stronger, you will also develop callouses on your stricking areas, hardened skin, (sexy huh?), along with techniques in your punch and killing of nerve cells in these areas you will then be preparing to break things, and people. Again I highly reccomend against this.

7, same as 6.

8. Balance, this is easily accomplished by practicing balancing. Kick where you are comfortable enough to hold it. Hold it as long as you can, rinse, repeat. Continue doing it and you will develop balance naturally.

9. Same as high kicking really, if you can hold your kick you are balanced.

10. Gymnastics, a gymnast could tell you this better than I, but I do know the beginning of any of that is to practice on a trampoline, once you can orient your body to do this and know how it feels you can start on regular ground with simpler acrobatics.

11. This one I am not sure what you mean. You can't bone condition your spine, but you can build muscle in your core and lower back that allows you to have a stronger back in a sense. There are a ton of core strength exercise routines out there, look them up, you can start with easy stuff such as toe touches, sit ups, and reverse sit ups. Along with this wonderful little exercise...

Lay down flat on your chest, bend your arms so that your upper body is resting on your elbows, forearms and hands. (I.e. have your lower arms all on the ground, and then support your lower body with your legs straight, (knees slightly bent) and putting your weight on your toes.

Hond this position for as long as possible. Does wonders for your core.

Well hope that helps you man.

Um.... you live in a fantasy world. You can work out all you want, I think this will cover most of those, but it sounds like you wanna be like a ninja turtle or something. Chill out. "Deadly Blows"? Too many movies and too much mortal kombat, dude, its FAKE.

go to the gym and have classes regarding those things, because we are talking about health risk here. Don't rely on other peoples teaching... get help from a pro! You might hurt yourself.

You got some good advice. I will only add that "advice" is a noun. "Advise" is the verb.
