    Exercise to improve punches sharpness, accuracy, and quickness.

It's up to you using your feet and fists to control it. Have fun, and only throw proper punches. It's insane.

    Exercise for foot speed

Get some form of elbow protection or heavy jumper, your wearing trainers. Lay on your back on the mat, hands upright, elbows on the mat, knees bent so your feet are on the mat. Now you start a running motion never lifting your elbows or feet no more than 4" up but driving as hard as you can into the mat and pick up speed as you do. Done properly you'll last 30 secs do 6 sets with 30 secs rest, youll understand what plyometrics is all about, its a cracker.

    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

    Forearm Exercises

This is the good bit, keeping the fingers straight start alternating and quick dropping the fingers past 90 degrees with fingers still straight while turning the hand slowly left and right. Happy cramps.

Rotate arms fully so the palms are facing away from one another. Flex wrists fully then slowly make a fist - really squeeze and hold for 6 secs. Repeat until it starts to tingle slightly.

    Learning with 'Tag Boxing'

    1. Don't bend at the waist to hit the thigh, bend the knees.
    2. Use lots of feints.
    3. Short, explosive movements with the feet; push off the front foot to move backwards, the back foot to move forwards.
    4. Aim for very short foot movements, looking to feint, push out (6-8cm) and then straight back in to get your tap in.
    5. Don't be tempted to 'pull' your leg out of the way of a tap; it's cheating and it ruins your stance (as well as missing the entire point of the thing!)
    6. Stay relaxed and learn about the subtle movements involved in hitting whilst not being hit.
    You sound like you're enjoying the sport and doing well, stick at it mate.
