Rockuman Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Ok, I want to increase my punching/kicking speed even more, but our house seriously lacks any sort of martial arts training equipment. So what's the most effective way to speed train without any equipment? Could this be acheived simply by standing there and kicking over and over as fast as I can? (hopefully now, cause my parents will make fun of me... =\ )
White_Tiger Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 A good way to increase speed is to get in front of a mirror and shadow box. Throwing punches and kicks at yourself, and also developing your bob and weave skills. Good Luck!
Ironberg Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 Yeah, what he said... If you lack a mirror and space, remember that kicking fast requires flexibility then strength. Do kicking and punching combos as fast as you can (preferably in front of a mirror to watch your technique). And do them until your are doing an areobic workout. If you want to speed up your kicks, a surefire way is to develope enough power and flexibility to hold your side-kick at your current highest possible point for an extended period of time.
