Question
what can i do increase speed of my punch and power of my punch. What are some basic punches i can do everyday ?
The most efficient and effective way to increase speed and power of punching is to PUNCH. Work on "punch out" drill, which are punching as hard and fast as you can for 30 seconds or 1 minute. Count the punches you can do in this time period. then try to increase the number (have to punch faster to do this..) Be sure and wrap your hands and use high quality bag gloves when you do this.
here is a link to some speed and power exercises you can do with a speed bag
