I am a coach. Thought my speed was getting better. I spar with all of my students. Had a former student who is getting ready for an MMA bout come to my class (has over 20 muay thai and MMA combined fights.) I outweigh him by 30 pounds. He was so quick he landed more punches than I did. Anyone know of speed training I can do to try to keep up? Been sparring bigger adults and younger kids 14-16.
Spar more with him to start. He may just be better than you. Secondly, proper weight training programs can increase speed greatly. I recommend getting Joel Jamieson's Ultimate MMA Conditioning and his new DVD on Explosive Power. I like his work.
