How to wrap boxing wraps

A boxing bandage is a fabric strip with a loop attached on one side and Velcro on the other. This bandage will protect the joints from dislocation and knocking out. It also provides additional protection for the knuckles and tendons. In addition, a properly wound bandage will secure the wrist and fingers in the most advantageous position for boxing. As a result, the fist will become stronger and stiffer, which will affect the force of the blow.

Always wrap bandages yourself. This is the only way you can control the tension of the fabric on your palms and wrists. The main purpose of the bandage is to secure the fist and protect it from injury. If the bandage is wound too loosely, it will not bring any benefit during the blow. A bandage wound too tightly will restrict your fists and, instead of helping in battle, will become a hindrance. To determine whether the bandages are wrapped correctly, open and close your fist. In both positions, the boxing bands will not sag. When your hand is unclenched, you will feel freedom; when your hand is clenched, the bandage will tighten and tightly wrap around your wrist and palm.

When wrapping the bandage, make sure that it is always taut and does not form wrinkles.

Step-by-step scheme for winding bandages:

1. Insert your thumb into the loop that is located at one end of the tape.
2. From the thumb, stretch the strip to the wrist and wrap it with several turns.
3. Run the bandage across your palm from your wrist to the base of your fingers. Several turns in this place should securely fix the knuckles.
4. Start wrapping your fingers with your thumb. To do this, go back across your palm to your wrist, wrap it around it, and enclose your thumb in a double loop of bandage (on the palm side). Make another circle around the base of the brush.
5. Now you need to wrap each finger. To do this, run the tape from the back of your hand between your fingers, starting with your little finger, and back down your palm to your wrist.
6. When all the fingers are wrapped, make another securing wrap at the base of the fingers.
7. Pull the fabric through your thumb. Wrap the remaining part around your wrist and secure the bandage with Velcro.

A boxing bandage wound in this way will ensure the safety of your tendons, joints, and the skin of your fists during training and fist fights.
