Does anybody have a good method for developing faster and stronger handstrikes that they would be willing to share? I ask also that if you do, please PM me with an answer as I don't check this guild very often...

Repitition, DUH! Keeping doing the same thing over and over and over again, as strong as you can, and as fast as you can, against something that will give resistance, Hell, a Pillow would work.

Kai Kazuku Repitition, DUH!

Yup, Repitition ... it work wonders ... mrgreen Other than that, have your guard up when you spar ... and don't pull your hand back before you strike, just go straight forth with your arm as close to your body ... (some guys I know, seems to pull their arms up as if they are acting like chickens) Anyway, some people believe that hooks are faster than straight punches ( eek ), but well, I heard that most have dislocated shoulders easily as well ... sweatdrop So ya, here are my meagre tips on punching faster ... sweatdrop

Well WayfarerStrife has a good point. The way i got faster hand strikes is to spar against someone with fast hands and try to get past his gaurd. You'll be motivated to get past and you will become stronger. It also really helps to do the most blunt thing i can think of. DO SOME PUSH UPS gonk lol i know it's straitforword but it's true. If you can however, try doing a handstand against the wall and hold it. (it very good strength training for me) However, i'm open to any other strength training tips you other guys may have.
To sum it all up. I say you work the upper body muscles and reduce the amount of motion (as WayfarerStrife previously explained)
hope that helps ninja

Bench press anyone? Seriously, I'm getting fast and strong hands, just because at night before I head off to bed I do 100 presses. First a set of 50, then two sets of 25. But i don't have a weight bench, so I'm laying flat on my back when I do it. With this I can bench press two ways, first being i sent my elbows out to the side, bringing the bar down to my chest, second keeping my elbows in and keeping the bar higher up.
Now, I'm not trying to get Buff, just get in better shape, and its working. my punches are faster, and stronger, and my muscles are getting slightly bigger, but mostly defined.
Oh yeah, and I weight like 165lbs(Mostly leg muscle from tkd) and bench press 64lbs total when I do my endurance training.(free weights are heavier then Bowflexes and stuff like that, because of the control needed. And the 4 lbs comes from the bar.)

Mirko_Filipovic Bench press doesn't really help punching. It'll mean you can push people alot harder though. Actually, depending on how you bench press, it can. Not how i told you my two different ways of bench pressing. Well, depending on which one you do, it can help form your arms better for punching. And with that, it helps your punches. Also, with the weight resitance if you push up going for repitition rather then technique you can buid your punching speed well... eh, it just works for me.

Also, with the weight resitance if you push up going for repitition rather then technique you can buid your punching speed well... eh, it just works for me. What you're doing is not actually a bench press -- it's a floor press. Floor press negates the sticking point that most bench pressers encounter (i.e. about 2 inches above their chest). As well, floor press takes the lat out of the pressing action (meaning that you don't engage your back muscles to support the bar while it is in a down position). Floor press is an exercise used by many powerlifters to increase their bench record, simply because this exercise targets the prime movers, while taking away the "advantage" of using your back and leg to drive the weight up (i.e. the prime movers are forced to compensate for the lack of support that you'd get if doing a regular bench press).

Yep. Repitition is probably the best idea. I find the if you want to work strength with hand strikes, repitition on a hanging bag works well. But ya speed, I would just stick with repitition.
If there is a day for your studio where you can just do free training with out anyone else bothering you, then you could try that by yourself and get some help from an instructor to make sure you're on the right track when you're training.
Oh and pushups and other excersises that help you become stronger with out gaining way to much bulk, thats a good idea for strength. Triceps is a good area to help speed.

Repetition, and maybe try using LIGHT weights. I use 8 lb weights to practice speed puching drills.
