First step is to always check in with your technique, because the arc of your kick affects the speed. Sylvie has a good video on what she calls 'the golden kick' that uses a smaller arc and is quite a bit faster than the baseball bat round kick you often see. Then of course you have plyometric exercises like jump squats and things like that which can speed up your kick. Something I like to get my fighters to do though is something I call a 'jelly leg' so when you kick, if you just imagine your kicking leg as being soft and loose like jelly, to get rid of any unwanted tension that will allow it to get to the target faster!

Here's a little update on my setup I had someone do a mural on the wall for inspiration. The next step is putting in some heavy bags and more gym equipment to make the work out area complete.
