 Steel Bars (Advanced Wrist-Weights).

 You hang the mass from your wrists, and slowly move your fist/arm back and
forth down the punching line.   About 45 seconds or more for each direction.
Each arm getting about 5 minutes each.  Several 5 min  reps if desired.

 Most people have trouble doing 3 min of slow motion work with their arms alone,
as in a typical day, you rarely leaving your arms in the air for any length of time.

 You can see many fighters dropping their guards when they get tired.  This is
something that can help with this.  Not only that, but you gain power and accuracy
down the entire line.  Rock solid stability, even under stresses.  You get additional
power / strength to boot.

 The advantage of this over simple wrist weights?

- Wrists weights are uncomfortable, bulky, and awkward.  The wrists strap is comfy. 

- The mass is easy to add/remove. There is a LOT more mass in those bars than
in wrists weight setups.

- You can, if you like, train two arms at once with 2 devices. Wrists weights wouldnt
allow this as well due to the bulky size.

- Traditional Kungfu often use metal rings, which are expensive, bulky, and noisy.
These weights can even be used at fairly good speeds, should you want to train
a different way.  They are pretty much silent, and due to the way they are
hung, they counter-balance, rather than swing violently.

I got it.  Subtlety is too much for some people.   ;)
