Answer 2

Speed Bag.

The best exercise to improve your speed by far is the ancient traditional candle exercise.

PLace a lit candle in front of you, than try to extinguish the flame with your punch. Keep the distance between where your fist stops and the candle flame to 2 inches to begin with. It will not happen overnight it will take practice and dedication. As you progress you can move further and further away from the candle. When you will get to the level when you can extinguish the flame with a single strike from any distance, than you will feel so good about yourself you will walk around the town telling everyone about it. PRACTICE!

There are many components to a punch. Let me list them and then discuss them.

These are for an overhand right:

1- Speed of the arm of the punching hand.
2- Speed of the shoulder of the punching hand.
.... (Yes, the shoulder does move forward about 6 inches)
3- The speed of the torso or trunk of the body turning.
.... (The torso can actually advance the punch another 8 to 12 inches)
4- Inclination of the body.
....(This should actually only be as much as you can recover from, since
......leaning too far will off-balance you)
5- The speed of your step into the punch if it is an attacking punch.
....(Counter-punches normally do not require a step- just a pivot)
6- Proper breath control. You should breathe out firmly from the time you
....start your attack until you have retracted your punch.

Those are the basic components of punch speed. First, let me say that each component adds more to your punch speed. If you leave out a component, your punch will be slowed down. Secondly, If you fail to combine the movements in the right timing it may slow you down. The general idea for the timing is to have all the individual movements finish when the punch is 3 inches through the surface of the target. Punching further causes off-balance and is unnecessary. Breathing is more important than you think.

It is a proven fact that several good things happen when you breathe out:
1- Your muscles fire faster.
2- Your stomach tightens adding power to your punch and…
3- …protecting you from a gut shot hurting you.

Watch yourself in a full-length mirror as you punch. Warm up before you start. Start slowly, but do complete motions. Each time punch a little faster than the last time, until you are moving at full speed and power. Then push yourself farther and try to punch faster. Once you have reached full speed and power try harder at least ten more times. Your speed will not increase over night.

The process may take several weeks until you notice a difference. This is not shadow boxing. Many boxers make the mistake while “shadow boxing” of just bouncing around and popping out punches. They do not use full punching mechanics. This does not improve punching speed very effectively.

Find a book on Plyometrics or find a person that can teach you how to do them. They will give you explosive, powerful movements. Bear in mind that Plyometrics will require some weight training first.

I could go on for several pages, but this should keep you busy for quite some time and it will improve your punching speed greatly.

P.S.- Listen to your Plyometrics coach for a good workout schedule for the weights and Plyometrics. You may work on punching mechanics and speed for 20 minutes every day.

Answer 3

A speed bag helps increase hand eye coordination which makes you seem faster.
Form helps increase your speed too. Try to use perfect form, eliminate useless movements. This makes your movements more efficient and therefore faster.
Place a bunch of coins on a table and have someone time you picking them up with one hand at a time. Now try to improve your time (playing jacks does the same thing).
Doing push ups and dips also increases your speed and power.
Jogging helps too.
Make sure you are breathing correctly when you hit, having the timing with your techniques and breathing increases reaction time also.

Remember, speed is nothing without control so also work on your accuracy.

Answer 4

Lift weights! I have the fastest hands in my dojo (admittedly a small one, but still...) because I work out with weights regularly and train for maximum strength gains (high weight, few reps). When lifting, I concentrate on doing each rep as fast as possible, but I load on enough weight so that even my fastest rep is still relatively slow. Many people will tell you to do all your reps slowly to avoid using momentum, but I think that myth has been busted by modern atheletes and trainers.

Answer 5

lots of ways:

- hand weights while shadow boxing
- they also sell weighted gloves or ones that look like weight lifting gloves but with weights
- elastic bands around your back held with the hands while shadow boxing
- double ended ball bag (boxing)
- having someone throw a tennis ball at you and catching it in different angles
- hanging a piece of paper from a string on the ceiling and hitting that (from Bruce Lee)

Good Luck!

Answer 6

in my view, dumbbells truly did not look to strengthen my punching %. If some thing, it might want to have given my a pretend experience of % strengthen. in truth, making use of the dumbbells higher my punching patience. For me in my view, what i'd use to strengthen punching % is punch below water or some thing else i'd do even more beneficial than the water issue is use pulley machines/cables on the health center. you're starting to be a consistent resistance from the cable routines. making use of the dumbbells did not provide me the consistent resistance, because the burden of them may basically basically bypass with the ahead action of the punches. once back the pulleys or cables are always resisting you, that's continually pulling back from the direct of your punches.

Answer 7

I live in Pensacola, and Roy Jones Jr. once told me that he trains in gloves that weight about twice as much as the gloves that he fights in. So when he gets into the ring to fight, he is 'fast as lighting'.

Answer 8

Practice, lots of practice. For from the practice your reflexes will start to take over. And reflexes are faster than predetermined reactions.
