Can anyone give me any tips on how to increase my hand speed?

My punches are hard, but they're not as quick as I would like them to be.

Thanks.

I found that shadow boxing and throwing in bursts helped me quite abit.timed rounds and burst for a min,jab and through for 30 seconds and then burst again.do this in timed rounds give it a try it helped me.I also found it clened up my form too.

Plyometrics bud, the only weigh to go.... There's some good books on plyometrics at Chapters or you can just go the easy route and get some surgical tube tie it around you hands between your thumb and index and then around you back to the other hand and work the bags as this gets easier add more tubes. Hope this helps, cheers.

you wanna increase hand speed? Ive HEARD of... Plyometrics, but have never tried it. My advice... is to get yourself into a pool and do some extensive water training. Shadowbox neck high in water. We all have different ideas on this... try them all, and come back and tell us which is workin best. Also... try adding dynamic tension to your training, and stay away from any heavy weights...better yet, no weights. If you GOTTA lift...use light weights, do alot of reps ..and shadowbox with weights in your hand. Remember, as John Madden says...speed kills! You can generate power with speed, but power alone is useless if not applicable. Also... TENDON strength is a key element, NOT MUSCLE strength.

ok...1 more serious secret. Speed, scientfifcally speaking, is related to and measured by TIME. What we fail to realize, is that time is relative..to our perception. Speed, in fightin, is huge, but TIMING is far more important. So.. if speed is measured by time, and time is relative to...your PERCEPTION of it... all you need to do to increase speed (or, more accurately, your TIMING) you must learn how to...bend time. This is done... by self hypnosis.
