youremean Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 I know sparring is good practice for your reflexes, but I don't always have a partner around, so does anybody know any drills that can help you respond to a punch and especially a kick faster? BTW It would be helpful if I could do these drills on a standing bag or shadow boxing because that is all I have at my house.

Kicks Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Greetings, When I first started competing I did some speed and reaction drills based off a video called Beyond Speed, distributed by Health For Life. Check out this website: http://www.martial-arts-fitness.com/healthlife/speed1.html It worked for me. I have my own website that has some speed training drills. It's mostly intended for students who are wanting to begin a training program for Tae Kwon Do competition. I probably should set one up a little more advanced for those who are looking for drills to enhance their already established training routine. Good luck with your training. when you create the world's largest trailer park, you're going to have tornadoes
youremean Posted August 11, 2004 Author Posted August 11, 2004 Thanks. The video looks good, but with shipping, it would cost over 50 dollars. Does anybody have any other suggestions?

Jerry Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 Assuming that you have a garage or some outside building that you can use, I have a suggestion .... hang bags filled with sand at different hights (head hight and torso hight to represent punches and kicks). From here you swing them and start dodging them as they swing around the room. It's all I can think of seeing that you don't want to spend too much money ....
