Boxing handwraps

Video Transcript

" Wraps are very important to protect your knuckles and protect your wrists. I’m going to show you how to properly wrap your hands. You want to always extend your hand out, because if you have them too closed when you’re done it’s going to be too lose, if you have them too open, your fingers spread too much, it’s going to be too tight when you close your fist. So you want to have it just right just evenly spread. And you want to go ahead and you want to first go over the knuckles – you want to go over your knuckles to protect them and remember to keep your hand open at all times and you’re going to wrap them around the back part of your thumb and you’re going to go in through the first finger, and that’s going to start protecting your knuckle right there and then you’re going to go around the wrist to protect the wrist and that’s giving you protection for your wrist and your knuckles. Then you’re going to go over the third knuckle and you’re going to wrap the wrist again and then you’re going to go over your knuckles, nicely tight over your knuckles and then you’re going to go over your thumb so that way you won’t break your thumb when you hit, it won’t snap back. So you want to wrap your thumb, you want to go over it again, you want to wrap the top and then you want to just close it out by wrapping your wrist. And this will help you not break your wrist when you hit a bag or are sparring if you hit wrong, if for some reason your form was incorrect. That’s a perfect hand wrap right there and you notice it’s not too tight not too loose it’s just perfect. "
