      Use Between 5-10 Pounds. 10 at the very most. It builds punching power & strength faster, and allows quicker movement from the exchange to delivery.

      even with very light weights your arms and shoulders will naturally get tired while shadow boxing. So start with the lightest you have and when that starts getting too easy build the weight up. Give it some mate

    This is yet another really useful video, Tony. I was already doing this dumbbell shadow sparring at home as I don't have a heavy bag. I use a heavy bag at the gym though.
    I'm using 1 kilogram dumbbells. I'm not sure if you are using the same 1kg weights or whether you are using 2kg dumbbells? I'm quite staggered how as soon as I stop using the dumbbells how fast and effortless my hands seem to be - as you suggest will happen.
    I'm also practising many, many new complex and effective combinations I've learnt from you - namely 5 - 7 technique combinations - also incorporating kicks, elbows and spinning backfists (usually added at the beginning or end of the combination), as well as all the boxing punches.
    So using dumbbell weights and performing these combos in front of a window ( mirror substitute ) is partially simulating the strength acquired from heavy bagwork in the gym.
