Shadow Boxing in Water

Gaining speed in martial arts is a hard sought after process which can only be obtained with constant practice of techniques. One good way to work speed in punches is by practising in water. Training in a swimming pool, and in water up to about chest level, start throwing punches. Practise single punches and also in combinations. Because you are in water it will be hard to use proper body movement but that doesn't matter. Concentrate on throwing punches as fast as possible for a period of time. Apart from obtaining great speed with this practise it is also an excellent cardiovascular workout. Because body movement will become sloppy, training in water, make sure to practice punches out of water straight after so as not continue being sloppy.
