Singularity Posted December 18, 2001 Posted December 18, 2001 That question, plain and simple. To me, it comes first, then technique, and then power. But usually certain technique is required for speed. How many strikes, weak or strong, can you perform a second? Just curious Dave
SBN Doug Posted December 18, 2001 Posted December 18, 2001 We focus more on technique first, then increase speed. Without proper technique, you can injure yourself, and the added speed won't be as effective. Also, its been my experience that a student focusing too much on speed first, develops some really bad tachnique. Which is much harder to work out after-the-fact, than to develop it right from the beginning. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.
thaiboxerken Posted December 18, 2001 Posted December 18, 2001 I don't even look at speed as a factor. Technique and timing are where all of the good results come from. Proper technique will enable your body to produce speed and power. Timing will let you connect to your target.

MuayTB1 Posted December 18, 2001 Posted December 18, 2001 What? Not as a foctor? Speed is everything, wiht out speed you'll be dead. I've been studing boxing for the past 2 month and man speed is just all that. Look at Ali for example, when he was fighting Sonny (old champion of the world and he lost his champion to ali), in the rematch, Sonny only got 2 punches on Ali. "there is no way i can lose! because no man is as fast as me!" says Ali. "Don't think!! Feel..." -Bruce Leehttps://www.muaythaiboxing.friendpages.comThis site is dumb but I made it so it is good.
Angus Posted December 18, 2001 Posted December 18, 2001 I like to work on speed when i have everything else covered first... Just for fun i guess. Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Kickbutt Posted December 18, 2001 Posted December 18, 2001 It doesn't matter how fast you are if you can't hit your target and effectively - DUH!!!!!! Technique first and then speed... Speed is of course very important as well. _________________ If you think something small cannot make a difference - try going to sleep with a mosquito in the room. -Unknown- [ This Message was edited by: Kickbutt on 2001-12-18 14:13 ] If you think something small cannot make a difference - try going to sleep with a mosquito in the room.-Unknown-

Singularity Posted December 18, 2001 Author Posted December 18, 2001 Okay, I think I should clarify. Any facet of martial arts, whether it be speed, form, or power, will require technique. I think a better way to say it is which do you practices the techniques for more often, speed, kata, or power? Which of those three do you think is the most important? Sorry if I was unclear and used incorrect terminology. Oh, and I am still curious to see how many strikes per second you can achieve. Dave
Kickbutt Posted December 18, 2001 Posted December 18, 2001 Well ok then....
