Speed Vs Power

To those who don't like the imperial system, here in the USA that is what we're used to so that is what we use. Not everybody might be comfortable with it (if you're from a country that doesn't use it) but if you prefer KPH instead of MPH here is a link to convert it.

NASA uses metric. For very good reasons.
 
If you can throw

- 2 punches within 1 second, your single punch speed is 1/2 second.
- 4 punches within 1 second, your single punch speed is 1/4 second.

So, single punching speed affect multiple punching speed. Since it's difficult to record single punching speed, usually, people measure how many punches that you can throw per second.

One day a guy challenged praying mantis master Brendan Lai. Brendan said, "I'll just throw 1 punch at you. If you can block my punch, you win, otherwise you lose". The guy failed to block Brendan's punch and left.

I like this kind of civilized challenge. A challenge doesn't have to hurt your opponent. Speed challenge is one of those civilized challenge.
I would like to mention something else, there is also the factor of how much distance you have to cover. A person with shorter arms has less distance to cover when they throw a punch so they might be able to throw more punches per second than somebody with longer arms. Something that should be taken into consideration.
