The lost art of speed training

Ever wonder why some people are slow and predictable while some are fast and accurate?

If you could double your speed right now what difference would that make in your martial art training?

There is one method for increasing speed that I especially like: Hitting Paper.

Most martial artists either don't spend enough time training speed or don't train speed period.

This method for training speed has been around for a long time but made popular by Bruce Lee himself.

At first glance most people seeing someone doing this type of speed training might cringe and discard it. You would be wise not to. If it was good enough for Bruce Lee it's good enough for me.

What is Bruce Lee most recognized for?

You guessed it.

Lightning Speed.

In many areas Bruce Lee was ahead of his time when it came to his training methodology, training equipment, and combat philosophy.

Even being the first martial artist to use reaction timers to time one's reaction speed to an outside stimulus. It is rumored that Bruce had a 0.07 second reaction time. Although timers are faster today compared to the ones used in those days it is still an impressive feat.

We've kept many of his speed drills alive in our own training system. You can pick up our speed training system right here.
