My sensai was fairly large and still the fastest person at our Dojo. He did weights. It's just a matter of doing speed training as well as weight training. You'll find that after doing weight training you feel slower, but that's 'cuz the muscles are all weak and worn out.

Quickness in martial arts is a combination of three things:
* physical ability
* muscle memory (that's why you do sets/patterns over and over)
* knowledge
If you look at a lot of good martial artists (Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li) you'll see that they're not big and bulky even though they train prolly as much as professional weighlifters/bodybuilders.
Actually, a LOT of martial artists you won't even see much muscle definition until you're an inch from getting your head smashed in. 
Oh, and a little disclaimer, when I say "martial arts" I'm talking mainly about the Chinese ones with both Internal and External components, so I'm not talking about Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Kickboxing, et al.

All I'm saying is that the amount of muscle bulk that people aim for when going to the gym gets in the way. You can stretch all you like, but you're carrying around a lot of excess muscle that can get in the way of you doing things.
Anyway, this is going way off topic. Sorry for that guys. I think I'll stop now. Or maybe start a new thread.
