Hello Roy!
Hopefully some others will join in here and post as well! I personally use shadowboxing and training against light targets (paper, hanging towel, shower curtain, etc.) to increase my speed! I even used to have a full sized heavy bag filled with styrofoam packing peanuts! The idea is that with no way to hurt yourself (damage on impact), there is nothing to psychologically impede you from delivering the fastest strike possible! Also, speed drills such as the "no mindedness" drill using focus gloves are a great way to increase your speed (see volume five in the Complete series). Remember, remain loose until just before the point of impact, then whip it! Use the "water in the hose and whip" principles for greater striking speed!
Keep Blasting!

"What is Jeet Kune Do (JKD)? Chinese martial art, definitely! It is a kind of Chinese martial art that does away with the distinction of branches, an art that rejects formality, an art that is liberated from tradition." __Bruce Lee
