    so i stumbled on this vid (its kinda old) and wonder if this would be a great training method for fighters who wish to increase their speed. the concept is simple enough but there isn't much evidence to back this up.

    any opinions?

    It's used to increase speed and strength as well. Training with weights on wrists, ankles and body is very common and has been used for many years now.

    Extremer methods are things like doing your standard training procedure with a 190lbs guy on your neck for instance.

    It works very well.
