How can i increase my speed in THROWING punches?

so the op is more than likely a bodybuilder who wants to throw punches fast in bunches or combos because he doesnt need to work on technique or power because he has lifted weights for a long time

train for speed pal and you will be like a 135 lb version of a prime mosley

 

What are you talking about RDJ? technique means nothing

Forget how to throw punches just do lots of bench presses and barbell curls and stuff, thats all you need to be a faster and stronger fighter, no need for any other training itll just slow you down. many a time ive been in trouble in and out of the ring, hurt badly and on the back foot, and often ive still managed to bicep curl my way to a steady points victory.

 

The equipment you will need to start is a heavy bag, some bag gloves, a good coach, and several hours a day to learn how to properly throw punches. After many months of throwing 1 and 2 punches together, you can begin working on putting 4-5 punches together quickly.

I learned basic simple division/multiplication in early elementary school, then later in the year we divided/multiplied with multiple numbers, worked on bringing down the 0, etc. Hope that makes sense. Good luck.

 

Plenty of foot stretching

 

Heres a lovely little number.[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahWf-b1zP2E[/ame]

 

You need to throw those punches with decent form day in and day out and concentrate on thorwing them quickly, but I have to say after a certain point raw speed is innate.

When I first started boxing, I gave up lifting old school style and felt very very fast at 118 pounds (my walk around weight went from 125 to 118, and I didn't want to cut anything more as i was 5'8'') After college I was lifting religously for years when I got a sparring partner in Vegas who dragged me back into the boxing gym, and I felt somewhat slower but over time I noticed the speed really came back with the training and the constant throwing of punches against a heavy bag and double end bag, on mitts, against a live target. Then my weight was normalizing around 128 lbs (I hate to say it but you don't need the speed bag - the hell with that thing, its for timing but I prefer the double end bag because you will be throwing punches from a normal punching position.)

Anyway, I had a travelling job and couldn't lift weights, and all that old bantamweight speed came back to me even though I was getting a bit pudgier at 133 lbs. I was faster than I had been at 128 because I felt so loose and relaxed, I could throw long combinations. Now, I have been lifting again, doing the weighted punching stuff, etc, and I got to spar this weekend. I felt strong, the punches were hard, but I wasn't landing three punch combinations, it was one or two hard shots at a time, because I didn't feel as fluid. Weight lifting is not a way to gain fluidity, but ingraining the motions in your muscle memory is, and you have to be able to relax and tighten at the right point to throw quickly.

 

Stretch where it Tickles most, thats where the most receptors are.
