I’m going to show you how to increase your punch speed to a lightning fast level using a few simple tricks that almost anyone can master. Punching speed is a critical component of punching power, and it must be mastered to take your punching to the next level.

Here are some tips you can use to increase your drilling speed in a short period of time:

1. Practice shadow boxing with a pair of dumbbells. Hit as many punches as you can until you get too tired and start to lose form. Your muscles will get used to hitting the extra weight, and once removed, your speed will increase immediately. Do this at least once or twice a week, increasing the weight as you go. Also a good arm workout as an added bonus.

2. Use a makiwara for striking training. The makiwara board will give you a small target to get used to hitting. Not only is it the best way to strengthen your hands, because you’re hitting a hard surface with bare knuckles instead of a bag, but you can also use it for speed drills. Shifting the weight of his body and moving back and forth, aiming for the makiwara.

3. Practice breaking suspended boards. Have a partner hold a board with just two fingers, suspend the board on a rope, or you can even toss the board into the air. The only way to break a board like this is with tons of speed. It can be done easily, but you have to think about hitting the entire board, and without hesitation or the board will go flying without breaking. Do it outdoors or in a gym with plenty of space and no spectators.
