Answer 1

Ok... Here is the EASIEST and most effective way to increase speed for your jab... get a mirror, get your fists, look at yourself side on through the mirror,  and jab... jab! jab jab jab jab jab jab jab! Try to beat your own speed, try get faster and faster, make sure your entire arm is relaxed and that your muscles arent counter-acting each other. and then randomly through the day, just through a jab or two, walk past a tree, see a leaf hanging down, jab it, see somthing hanging, jab it, see your reflection, jab it, see your best friend, jab it. Just jab a lot aiming for speed relaxation and proper extension, and you'll be fine.

Answer 4

Well Strength is a huge factor, but also force is a huge factor.

The most efficient and fast way to punch someone would be jabbing them.

Use your weak arm for jabbing and the strong arm for Hard drawn back punches. You may think your punches are weak but trust me it just feels that way.

Best bet is to lift weights or practice your punches on a punching bag and constantly do that and you will build more impact.

Tip: When fighting NEVER Swing your fist around from the outside. You may feel more powerful but those punches are the easiest to counter.

Like anything... persistence. Me and my mates used to have a kind of fight club going in my backyard everyday for about a year and i would find myself shadow boxing in the middle of the night or hitting the bag every chance i had. After a while everybody started to notice my speed increase and overall ability. So all i can say is if you're determined to have a quick jab i suggest you get off the pc and start sticking it out. As far as technique goes keep the palm side of your fist parallel with your chin. When you jab it should end with your palm facing down and make sure you put a little shoulder into it rather than just straightening your elbow. Sorry, easier to do than explain.

As i found out, making your your mates look like idiots is fairly easy with a bit of work. Letting fly with all types of punches knowing only a decent fighter could take advantage of a counter is pretty comforting. Especially when they all jab with their strong hand which means theres no fear from a follow up punch. Anyway good luck!

Answer 6

i'm a boxing trainer and i will tell you this to gain speed for your jab is easy, first to get your jab out there you have to act like you catcing a fly and to retrieve the jab quickley act as if you touched something hot. if that doesn't work cheat your jab hand outward  just about 3 or 4 inches and go back to step 1. use your weak hand to jab with it sets up for you power hand.

Answer 7

Always make sure you are balanced in your stance and footwork.  Make sure you always step (even if only a tiny bit) when you throw your speed jab.

You can hold your lead fist out toward your opponent, to shorten the jab.  This will speed it up.  Just make sure to always bring it all the way back to your guard so you are protected against counter punches.

Make sure you throw a lot of jabs every day: this will insure your muscles are properly stretched and limber.  If you are tight, your jab will be slow.
