Get your hands on a speedbag setup. Helped me a ton and as an added bonus your shoulders get really strong!

The speed bag has always confused me. I don't understand how this piece of equipment is helpful w/ training. To me, it makes as much sense as learning to play the drums for fighting. I'm sure the speed bag is beneficial because boxers have used it for ages but I still don't get it.

MilkmanX, how has the speed bag affected your kumite skills? Did your hand speed really increase?

A double end bag is a great way to work on speed and timing as it's bouncing around in crazy directions. It takes some getting used to but it can be a lot of fun.

A speed bag can help somewhat as well since it'll condition your shoulders and work on your hand-eye coordination. I think a double end bag is a bit better though it also takes up more room. You can even kick a double end bag if you're really good. I'm not :D lol

The speedbag trains your reflexes and coordination. It has helped me alot. I can see moves much earlier now. :D Osu-EN1
