About trying punches with weights on would that help becasue i tryed it once and it put cuts on my hands. Can you strain ligaments and tendons? _________________________ -Confused Clouds Rain

Shadow boxing/kicking puts on enough stress as is; because you are not hitting anything, your body is forced to absorbed the amount of energy you create, vs a heavy bag. Don't use them that way----years down the road, your joints will thank you. _________________________ "You do not truly know someone until you fight them." - Seraph, The Matrix Reloaded
