Answer 5

Two things, slowly work on your punching technique over and over and over when shadow boxing. As time goes on, speed up your technique and go at full speed when shadow boxing. You can attach weights to your hands when punching to get you used to punching faster as well. But technique, practice makes perfect. I have worked on technique (twisting of the hips correctly and punching as accurately as I can), and I've turned my Jab into a whip, you can do it too with all punches. Muscle memory is key.
