Use the least motions possible

Don't tighten your fist until just before the point of contact, a relaxed muscle travels more faster than a flexed one

always move the attacking hand FIRST to avoid telegraphing

Even when stepping forward start your punch and then step forward just a fraction of a second later just remember - the punch moves first!!!

Relax

And most importantly - PRACTISE!!!!!!! :D

Hope this helped,

clap pushups.

they use fast twitch muscle fibers, which obviously would be good for speed, and power. plyometrics in short is what those kind of exercizes are called, another example would be tuck jumps, or skipping rope..
