How to wrap boxing bandages

A boxing bandage is a fabric strip with a loop attached on one side and Velcro on the other. Such a bandage will protect the joints from dislocations and knocking out. It is also an additional protection for the knuckles and tendons. In addition, a properly wound bandage will fix the wrist and fingers in the most favorable position for boxing. As a result, the fist will become stronger and tougher, which will affect the force of impact.

Always wrap the bandages yourself. This is the only way you can control the tension of the fabric on the 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, then it will not bring any benefit during the strike. A bandage wound too tightly will constrain the fists and, instead of helping in battle, will become a hindrance. To determine the correct winding of the bandages, open and close your fist. In both positions, the boxing tapes will not sag. With an unclenched hand, you will feel freedom, with a squeezed one, the bandage will stretch and tightly wrap around your wrist and palm.

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

Bandage winding step by step:

1. Insert your thumb into the loop at one end of the ribbon.
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. A few turns in this place should securely fix the knuckles.
4. Start wrapping your fingers with a big one. To do this, along the palm, return to the wrist again, wrap it around it, enclose the thumb in a double loop of bandage (from the side of the palm). Make another circle around the base of the brush.
5. Now you need to wrap each finger. To do this, pass the tape from the back of the hand between the fingers, starting with the little finger, and return along the palm to the wrist.
6. When all the fingers are wrapped, make another securing turn at the base of the fingers.
7. Pull the fabric through your thumb. Wrap the rest around your wrist and fix the bandage with Velcro.

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