How Do I Wrap My Hands?

This is such a popular question! First, hand wrapping protects against injuries, and is used to compress bones that allow you & boxers to hit with greater force than if you did not use them! We start by wrapping the wrist, then work your way up diagonally, across the palm, wrapping your knuckle, thumbs, and in between each finger. Repeat until the length of the wrap has been used, finishing with the one last strap around your wrist to secure it. However, this can take time to learn. Each fighter has a different style and way they like to wrap their hands. But not to worry! Our staff will always wrap your hand and guide you through the process!
