how can you increase your speed?

[Run]

Yeah once.Thats one slick ****er,he moved around alot staying away from my power.He's a good counter puncher too.He rarely hit me except when he countered.Ive never faced a counter puncher,cause Im one. If it was a match it would be even,maybe going to him since I used about 50% power.In the 2nd round I figured him out and cut the ring off and threw more jabs,but the sparring was light punching,but it as aggressive.

Considering he's an ex 2 time World Champion.I think I did damn good.haha. I held back alot on power because I didnt know how hard he wanted to go.I didnt know if it was a test or something,but he kept thinking I was a pro after we were done.Then I reminded him I have 1 am.fight. He's a real cool person.

Yeah that's awesome.

does anyone know how to increase overall speed??
- moving quicker with lateral movement, head movement, reaction/reflexes, hand speed, etc??
does anyone have any suggestions for in the gym work and out of the gym exercises or rountines?

In his autobiography Joe Louis claims he became fast by catching flies then opening his hand and letting them fly away.

ok i will give you a exercise which will help you

you will punch the bag 1-2 combos, just jabs(no hokes ect..) for 15 seconds and then after the 15 seconds. you will shall do 15 seconds straight after but just punchin japs as fast as you can. you do this 2 times so it lasts 1 min, then you have a 1 min breake holding the bag for your partner then swop over and you do the routine agen start of just doing 3 mins each. you may think this sounds easy but do corectly with the right intesity it will be hard. the work it up to 5 mins each ect...

Thats not that intense.We have cardio class and our older group thats there just to get in shape does that. They're mostly business ppl,and our classes last for an hour. Plus we add hooks to the mix,double end bag also,jump roping,and foot drills.

In my experience Forearm work seems to increase speed. It sounds reasonable to because Bruce Lee stressed forearm work a lot. I also heard that the forearm is the only limitation for your punching speed, it won't matter so much about your shoulder/triceps/chest etc.

EDIT: this only applies to punching^

If you wanna increase your overall speed in these maneuvers you mentioned you just got to constantly train them to the point of a reflex. To the point when you don't have to think of bobbing when someone throws punch at you, your body does it automatically.


As they say, if you want to increase your sprinting speed, you sprint. All other exercises are secondary and should be used as a warm up at best.

haha I do it and more.I should know.Maybe your boxing class and you are just weak? Not to sound mean,but thats what its sounding.Not alot of ppl can take what other ppl do.
