How To Improve Punch Speed

The "right" punch has several components. The speed at which the arm moves to throw a punch, the speed of the shoulder, the angle at which the body is poised, the footwork and breathing rate - all of these contribute to making a punch the "perfect punch".

Many a times you feel that your punch lacks speed. All of the above components contribute equally to the speed of your punch. The punch speed and punch power are directly proportional. The higher the speed, the better power your punch will have. If you compromise on one of the parameters, the punch loses speed and hence the power. Practicing at the heavy bag or the punching bag is an age old and proven technique to improve both the speed and power of your punches.

Before you attack the punching bag, be sure to warm up. In the start, keep punching slowly at the bag. As you practice, gradually increase the speed and power of the punches. An easy technique to bring in speed to your punches is to hold weight like the dumbbells in your hand and punching in the air. Here again, gradually increase the weight in your hands. You can also use weighted gloves but if you are using them be sure to avoid the punching bag.

If you are comfortable at the present punching bag, get a heavier one. Keep your body a little away from the bag and feet at comfortable distance apart. As you punch the bag extend yourself a little, throwing the punch at maximum power. Repeated practice of this posture punching helps improve the speed considerably.

Many preach that shadow boxing helps in increasing the speed. It does not use complete punching techniques and may not really help you achieve a greater punch speed.

Have you tried plyometrics to improve your punch speed? Plyometrics is a type of exercise aimed to improve speed and thereby power of movements. It also improves the functions of the nervous system. The design of these exercises is based on the fact that when a muscle is loaded and then contracted in quick successions, the plyometric movements use the strength and elasticity of the muscles to make the surrounding tissues to quicken their movements. Hence, these exercises will help you hit faster and harder.

Remember increasing punch speed is not going to happen overnight or in fact over a few weeks it is something that needs to be worked on continually. If you put in the hard work and follow the above you will see your punch speed increase. When training just try and focus on how much you will improve your boxing, when your feeling tired and don't feel like doing a drill remember your opponent is probably training right now. If you out train your opponent you will outbox them too.

All the techniques can be used in together to improve the punch speed. But remember that constant practice is required and the speed will not increase in just a day.

Punch-Drunk Love (DVD) $3 Paul Thomas Anderson follows 1999's MAGNOLIA with the intensely compelling character study PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE. Barry Egan (Adam Sandler) is a quiet, shy, socially awkward man with an office in an out-of-the-way warehouse. He is dedicated to his job as a wholesale toilet plunger salesman, he keeps a nice apartment, and he is obsessed with special offers on grocery store products. Barry's latest fixation is on frequent flier miles included with the purchase of Healthy Choice foods. Barry wears a bright blue suit, though he doesn't know why. With seven outspoken sisters, he is constantly being nagged, questioned, and berated. He is challenged to explain the reasons for his actions, and it eventually becomes clear that Barry cannot control his often-violent impulses, a trait which is increasingly problematic. When a beautiful woman, Lena Leonard (Emily Watson), walks into his life with an instinctive attraction to him, a nonjudgmental attitude, and unconditional love, Barry undergoes a powerful transformation. Anderson's film is a tour-de-force for which he garnered the Best Director award at Cannes 2002. Set primarily in Los Angeles and Utah, he shoots either bleak deserted spaces (apartment building hallways) or lush, exotic paradises (Hawaii). Aiming for a Technicolor look, the blue of Barry's suit in contrast with Lena's solid pinks, reds, and whites, pops off of the screen. Colorful interludes designed by visual artist Jeremy Blake offer hallucinogenic lapses from the action of the film, while the rapid percussive score by Jon Brion keeps the suspense and the emotional exasperation of the film on a constantly high level. Cast List: Adam Sandler , Emily Watson , Phillip Seymour Hoffman , Luis Guzman Socially inept Barry Egan (Adam Sandler) is the only son among seven sisters who torment his insular daily life by calling him "gay boy" and making harassing telephone calls to him at work at the toilet-plunger warehouse he runs in the San Fernando Valley. Barry takes out his frustration by breaking and smashing things or randomly bursting into tears. One day he discovers a potential means of escape in an offer (and this part's based on a true story) for frequent-flyer miles through the purchase of $3,000 of Healthy Choice Pudding, which Barry buys by the case, eventually racking up over 1.25 million miles worth of air travel. But loneliness is the guest who doesn't leave, and Barry bides his time by engaging in a phone-sex service, wherein he gives away his credit card number and other information. He ends up being harassed by the woman he calls, who turns out to be part of an extortion scheme organized by a dirtbag mattress salesman (Philip Seymour Hoffman). This leads to unforeseen consequences that push Barry deeper into the hair-pulling abyss--until his sister introduces him to Lena Leonard (Emily Watson), who, with deceptively simple tenderness in this otherwise deceptively simple love story, awakens Barry t
