The_Ryno Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Plyometrics training is perhaps the most effective way to develop fast twitch muscle. Another, less traditional way to develop faster hands, wear 5lb wrist weights for a few days. You'll speed up. "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."

Synaesthesia Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I like to go through forms (katas, routines..) with some weights, five to fifteen pounts, generally eight. Doing it without weights after feels totally effortless. Quite a fun illusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martialartist1 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 improving boxing speed you can use punchbags hanging from ceiling, punchbags standing from floor, punchbags floor to ceiling speedballs, dummy trainers, walltargets, personal one to one - hand to hand training, punching foam targets, punching in water. punching in the air would really improve speed too much because there is no resistance.

martialartist1 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Improving boxing speed punches, you can use punchbags hanging from ceiling, punchbags standing from floor, punchbags floor to ceiling speedballs, dummy trainers, walltargets, personal one to one - hand to hand training to improve reaction time and reflex, punching foam targets, punching in water. punching in the air would'nt really improve punching speed too much because there is no resistance. If you've got lighter muscles then you will punch faster, with less mass but chances are with better skill. The heavier the muscles you will punch slower with more mass but chances are with less skill. It also about acceleration like accelerating into the punch thats fully extended, using the hips, shoulder muscles, co-ordination, timing and using the brain.

I have to ring the bell on that theory. And what IS a light muscle anyway? "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."
