best way to wrap your hands?

Theres a good one on boxinggyms.com

 

which ever way is comfortable to you .. just make sure ur wrist is wrapped tight and ur knuckles are protected

 

I need a technique that gives extra support to the wrists. My wrists tend to fold and buckle on my power shots.

 

i never wrap my hands in training,ive tried but its uncomfortable

 

Funny, I never wear gloves when hitting the heavybag. I think it is very uncomfortable, and in my case, sometimes painful.

 

really?doesnt it effect your hands at all?

 

I go 50/50. Half the times I use gloves, and other half I go barefisted.
With the gloves i always wear 16 oz...No less. If you can beat the bag with 16 oz. gloves for 3 minutes your in pretty good shape. I spar a lot anymore so you want to be use to them basically.
The reason I even use gloves really...Because I spar.

As for barefisted the reason I do this is because it strengthens your knuckes/ hands, and it gives me the realization of a street fight.

If I'm use to wearing 16 oz gloves all the time I might not be as comfortable when I get in a street fight (though reaction would probably take over). If I only used barefist then I wouldn't be as good when I spar with 16 oz gloves. You have to TRAIN for everything.

 

It would, but I was trained by my stepfather how to hold your own in a fight. He is very old-fashioned. My first heavybag was a pair of old trousers filled with rocks and dirt and tied at all ends, strung up for me to wail away on. It hurt like hell for a few weeks, but gradually my fists grew accustomed to it. Now I could hit a brick wall.

thats the most rediculous thing i have ever heard, your trainer had 300 amatuer fights and he never learnt how to wrap his hands, is he some sort of ****** or something. Think about it, if he couldnt learnt to do the most basic thing in boxing how is he gonna teach you how to box. I find that very strange you trainer doesnt know how to wrap his hands after 300 fights

:think

 

this thread is filled with comedy!

 

No doubt look at what we have going on here

- You have a 300 fight amateur vet who doesnt even know how to wrap hands :huh From my experiences in every place ive had a match ****ing handwrapping is mandatory yet this guy is training and teaching fighters but he dont wrap hands.

- One fella dont wrap his hands cause it makes him feel uncomfertable.

- Another doesnt wear gloves when hitting the bag because it hurts :yep He also was taught how to fight by hitting bricks hung up by trowsers now he can punch down walls :yep

- Then you got one who either trains with 16 oz gloves or bare fisted wow look at you :good

 

What's so wrong with training with 16 oz gloves, or barefisted? If I'm going to spar with 16 oz gloves does that mean I wanna wear little MMA gloves when hitting the bag??? You might say wear *bag gloves*, but again...Only reason I wear gloves at all is to box, and we always box with 16 oz gloves. I'm gonna wear little 4 oz gloves when hitting the bag, and then my shoulders wear out while throwing with 16's cuz I'm not use to them??? If you/ anybody else has any other logic, or suggestions as to how this is wrong/ what I should be doing instead then I'm *all ears* bud....
Barefisted strengthens your hands (as long as you use common sense with it).
Also, I agree that wraps are uncomfortable if your not use to them, but it's the same with using anything at first...A mouthpeice, headgear, gloves, etc. I'm sure there isn't to many people that felt completely comfortable when they put all this **** on.

Easy tips... Start by looping the thumb.. just so the wrap can have a stronghold.. (startpoint) then wrap straight over the knuckle area once and cross over the back of the hand and go as far up your wrist as you can stand.. the higher the better... The higher you wrap them the far better support your wrist will get. Then spread your fingers slightly to allow give or slack to the small bones inside your hands (metacarpals..) the small bones along the back of your hands. wrap across the hand snugly then through each finger to seperate them slightly.. finish off by wrapping back across the hand backing down towards the wrist to where you started.. Its a procedure that is easier done after more practise, you generally will find your own satisfactory way........ Wrapping is the best way of avoiding any injury that WILL become a long term problem.. God bless..
