That question, plain and simple. To me, it comes first, then technique, and then power. But usually certain technique is required for speed. How many strikes, weak or strong, can you perform a second?
Just curious

We focus more on technique first, then increase speed. Without proper technique, you can injure yourself, and the added speed won't be as effective.
Also, its been my experience that a student focusing too much on speed first, develops some really bad tachnique. Which is much harder to work out after-the-fact, than to develop it right from the beginning.  |

I don't even look at speed as a factor. Technique and timing are where all of the good results come from. Proper technique will enable your body to produce speed and power. Timing will let you connect to your target.

What? Not as a foctor? Speed is everything, wiht out speed you'll be dead. I've been studing boxing for the past 2 month and man speed is just all that.
Look at Ali for example, when he was fighting Sonny (old champion of the world and he lost his champion to ali), in the rematch, Sonny only got 2 punches on Ali.
"there is no way i can lose! because no man is as fast as me!" says Ali. |

It doesn't matter how fast you are if you can't hit your target and effectively - DUH!!!!!! Technique first and then speed...  Speed is of course very important as well.

Okay, I think I should clarify. Any facet of martial arts, whether it be speed, form, or power, will require technique. I think a better way to say it is which do you practices the techniques for more often, speed, kata, or power? Which of those three do you think is the most important? Sorry if I was unclear and used incorrect terminology. Oh, and I am still curious to see how many strikes per second you can achieve.
