If you don't wrap your hands properly you're going to get knuckle bruises, breaks, injuries and sprains. So I'll just use the basic wrap, loop it through your thumb, come around your wrist three or four times, depending on the size of the persons hands. Okay, it's very important to protect your wrist because that's obviously your main thing. Come around the knuckle once, back over, you want to go underneath your knuckles three times, 1,2,3, come back under the thumb through the first knuckle, back around the knuckles to the first finger, so alright, back around the knuckles under the thumb, through the second finger, around the knuckles, under the thumb, through the third finger. You go the opposite direction to lock it all in; 1,2, then you'll criss-cross it over the wrist, and the knuckles. Just cross it over, then you're coming close to the end of the wrap. And that's a completed wrap. Hands up, make a fist, done."
