Possible? I'm starting to take Shotokan
lessons; want to build some muscle for
sparring!

For legs you can do squats, lunges, calf
raises, and many other exercises while
holding dumbells.
For arms, you could do tricep curls for
triceps, bicep curls for biceps, military
press for shoulders, and wrist curls for
forearm/wrist.
But remember that for serious upper body
gains you need to do lat pull downs (upper
back) and bench pressing (chest), which
requires a machine and a barbell and a
bench
Also, bodyweight exercises may be just as
useful as dumbell exercises, try:
-Pushups for chest/shoulders
-Squats (while not holding dumbells)
-Situps
-Leg raises
-Calf raises (while not holding dumbells)
-Diamond pushups for triceps
