at the end of this video i'm going to give you one little tip that you can do every single time
you're boxing that'll help improve your speed of your punches now who doesn't want to punch faster
we all want to punch faster right no matter whether you're a 80 year old guy
a seven-year-old kid everyone wants to punch faster now by you practicing these three exercises
and doing the tip i'm going to give you at the end of the video i guarantee you
i totally guarantee you that you'll see improvements in your hand speed within the next
one or two weeks guys if you're new to this channel my name is tony jeffries i'm an olympic
medalist boxer former undefeated professional seven times that's the champion european champion
and on this youtube channel i give you everything boxing education so make sure you subscribe and
hit that bell notification so you never miss one of my video uploads so exercise number one that
you can do is shadow box with these bad boys here with dumbbells shadowboxing with dumbbells
is something i used to do all the way through my career whether it be two pound three pound
four pound five pound dumbbells anything over five pound gets a little bit heavy so now when you're
shadow boxing with dumbbells and you're thinking about punching fast with these what happens
is when you're not using the dumbbells when you haven't got the weight here your hand speed is
going to uh improve and get you able to punch faster so what i used to do when i was working
three minute rounds of shadow boxing for the first 45 seconds of the round i've got the dumbbells up
i'm working on working on speed next 45 seconds i'll throw these down straight away my hands
have improved in the hand speed next 45 seconds pick them up next 45 seconds i'll put them down
and another great thing about shadow boxing with dumbbells yes like i said it improves your hand
speed a lot but as well it helps you with shoulder and arm endurance we our hands sometimes get tired
when we're on the heavy bags when we're shadow boxing for sparring and the hands will start to
drop down but when you've been shadow boxing and you're used to having two to four pound dumbbells
in your hands keeping your hands up like i said it really helps the endurance in in your arms and
helps you be able to keep your arms up as well i mean if you're thinking about it our arms is not
used to being in this position our arms used to be in this position so our arms do get tired so
when we do lift them up even when you've just got wraps on or gloves on they will get tired but try
to box them with them bad boys right there it's going to help improve your shoulder endurance
and overall your hand speed as well moving on to number two is using this guy for shadow boxing
this is a resistant band right here now you can get these at different resistance it's like a big
elastic band this is a pretty intense tough resistance band what i'm going to do with
this i want to throw it around my shoulders put it under my arms put me thumbs inside of it like this
in my boxing stance and now i'm going to shadow box with this now this is even tougher than the
dumbbells the reason being when i throw a jab this is trying to pull my arm back so it's pulling me
arm back it's really engaging all of the muscles in my arm and i'm pushing my arm out so this
is very difficult to do now if i can punch fast with one of these when i haven't got
this imagine how fast i can punch a lot faster and like i said this is another great thing to
engage the muscles on your arms no matter what you're doing in boxing it's going to help with
the overall your overall fitness and overall endurance of your upper body and your shoulders
and like the dumbbells what you can do is 45 seconds on 45 seconds off with one of these if
you're doing the three minute rounds if you're doing two minute rounds 30 seconds on 30 seconds
off 30 seconds on 30 seconds off and focusing on speed obviously we want to focus on good form
because like i always see on this channel it's perfect practice makes perfect so you always want
to be practicing perfect but we concentrate on speed and this is what you're watching this video
for because you want to learn how to punch faster and this is exactly that this is going to really
help improve your overall hands now tip number three is a great little drill that you can do and
this you don't need any equipment for now what i want to do i'm just going to get in
my boxing stance here and i'm going to just throw 30 jabs as fast as i can so i'm here
just working on pure speed so when we throw it out fast we want to bring it back fast as well
so you're not just concentrating on leaving out looking for the power jab we worked on speed so
we're out and back really fast working on 30 of them then we can work on the cross
working on that good form as well then we can work on the hook
30 of them thinking about speed this is not just going to help you
with your speed it's going to help you with your form as well because
i want you working again on good form if you're throwing the cross and it's like
that's wrong that's just going to get you in a bad habit it's not going to
improve anything that's going to make you worse you've got to turn that hip
working on good speed good form good technique now let's do 30 of them
so you do 30 jabs 30 cross 30 hook and if you want you can add the uppercuts in
30 uppercuts that right there is 120 punches you're going to throw do that have a minute
rest do it again have a minute rest do it again and then you're done so three sets of that
that right there is 360 punches that you're going to work on now think about if you concentrate
concentrating about throwing 360 punches all fast what's going to happen you're going to end up
being able to punch faster right makes sense so let's move on to the last tip and this last tip
will definitely help your punch faster before i tell you about that guys if you enjoyed this

channel if you're new here make sure you subscribe for lots more videos like this so what can you
be doing to punch faster every time you're in the gym without even having to think about it
and that is wear bigger gloves yes wear 16 ounce gloves all of my sessions from when i was a 10
year old kid in the gym all the way through it was a 27 year old pretty successful professional boxer
i always wore bigger heavy gloves now you might be thinking well if you wear big gloves that's going
to slow you down and you're right it is it's just like shadow boxing with dumbbells or shadow boxing
with the resistance band it makes you slower but guess what when you are when you put on
them 10 ounce gloves after you've been wearing 16 ounce gloves your speed goes from there to there
boom your speed up your punches will speed up very very nicely so always wear bigger gloves for when
you're training if you're competing or even if you're doing mitt work put the smaller gloves
on to make yourself look more impressive and feel good as well because guess what if you feel good
when you're boxing training you're going to perform better and i want you to perform the best
