Initially, practice your techniques correctly but without power. Then, gradually add both power and speed. As you progress, slowly trim off any unnecessary power, add more speed and practice your timing of both.

At first the student will practice using all of his energy to try to gain power, speed and precision. After many practice punches and much unnecessarily expended energy, the student begins to refine his technique by learning to use only that amount of force and energy requires to produce an efficient and effective punch.
