I am pretty fast as far as striking goes, and then movement is alright, but i am slightly burden ed by my lack of agility, but for the most part, i am faster (in close range combat, not running) than most people i know.

whatever you do, don’t use bodybuilding weight training methods. They do nothing for fast twitch.

On the contrary they actually slow muscles down. That’s why most olympic atheletes don’t train like body builders.

(without teh use of drugs for all you smart @ss’s liek me out there)

HEAVY Weight Low Reps

Plyometrics

Heavy weights, low reps, with plenty of recovery time, plus plyos, like johnny said…

BUT, you need to lift thos heavy weights as explosively as possible

Try snatches, cleans, clean and jerks, push presses, and hang cleans.

Find a good weightlifting coach before you hurt yourself doing these tho…

Talk to the boys at Westside Barbell club (I think that’s their name). I forgot the website URL though, but I know someone here has it.
