Speed is largely a function of perception. The easiest and most effective way to increase apparent handspeed is to strip away excess motion. Work on throwing your jab and your cross without any windup or telegraphing whatsoever. When you shadowbox, pay extra-close attention to your movements before and after you strike. The jab is not a heavy punch and it doesn't have to be loaded up. It is a stinging punch, not a crushing punch. "Pushing" a jab will make it seem slow, and trying to throw a hard jab will also slow it down.

I hope this helps.

The most important precursor to hand speed is relaxation. You've already got all the speed you're going to have; you just have to learn to relax and let it come. Speed isn't something you learn; it's something you learn to let go of.

Thanks for that fellas, i'm buying a resistance shadow boxer, rekon that will help a little bit?

Yo man,..you gotta do something about that picture man...
..That's not cool, if u know what i mean,,..i get the humor part but the pic is wack as ****!

yea I was going to say try working out with some resistance bands, the rubber stretchy bands you can immitate punches with, that way when you throw a real punch it's alot easier and quicker.

I've already got pretty fast straight punches, but does anyone know how speed can be increased on hooks and uppercuts? Thanks. :boxing:

wtf?? you being serious or what??

Its just a picture! although its a pretty twisted one

relax but not sloppy. train perfect form and perfect technique combine that with relaxation, and practise it any minute you can

good question, i can't really explain it but if i really think about it i have a hard time throwing a fast left hook but i do it no problem naturally in sparring... It kinda feels as if my left hook is just a jab but with my arm bent and im pivoting instead of stepping forward.
