If you want to get faster in the martial arts, I've got three quick tips for you... and one reality check.

First tip: Don’t wind up. Your fist only needs to go from Point A to Point B, so don’t take a detour to Point C. That might actually triple the distance your fist is traveling! Even if you only wind up a little, you’re still adding time to your technique.

Second tip: Stay loose. If you get angry and tighten up, your muscles will work against you. To be fast, stay cool.

Third tip: Practice. Train your body to only use the muscles you need. Make it a goal to be as efficient as possible.

REALITY CHECK! You can't just keep getting faster and faster. At some point, you're going to hit your limit. But consider this... even if you can't increase your speed objectively, you can still increase your speed subjectively.

If you want to make your best move seem faster, set it up moving slower. Like a snake, hypnotize your opponent into thinking you’re only going to move at a low speed, then explode. That’s what the pros are doing when they talk about setting the pace of a fight or breaking rhythms.

That means when it comes to speed, you shouldn’t just focus on how fast you can move, you should practice setting up your moves so the other guy doesn’t see them coming. Become a master of manipulating time.

So, instead of always practicing at full speed, mix it up. Set a rhythm, then break it. Remember--no matter how fast you can move, if you keep moving at just one speed, you'll become predictable... and that means beatable!

Think of it this way—your goal isn’t to be as fast as you can be, it’s just to be fast enough to get what you want. Hypnotize your opponent and you should have all the speed you need.
