Sacrificing speed for strength?

[Colibri]

My passion in life is martial arts. I take Wing Chun Kung Fu classes and for this, speed is a necessary factor. However, reading around here and other sites, it mentions that strength work (specifically isometric/static strength exercises) is detrimental to speed.

I am using killroy70's basic template with a few other modifications, but essentially, my workout looks like:

Warmup

FSP work: 4-5 FSPs

FBE work: 2 FBE

Stretching/Finish

Will this be harmful to whatever speed I have right now? I might need to include plyometrics in my workout.

Any experience/advice? Thanks.

To sum, much of your Wing Chun will satisfy for your need for "speed" work while BtGB will satisfy your need for absolute strength work.
