How to Wrap Your Hands for Boxing

Here is the correct way to wrap your hands in boxing:

Start with the thumb:
- Hold the bandage in your hand and start at the base of your thumb. Place the secured end of the bandage around your thumb with the open part facing inward.
Wrap around the palm:
- Wrap the bandage around your palm a few times, moving slightly away from the base of the thumb.
Wrap around the wrist:
- Wrap the bandage around your wrist for extra support to protect it from twists. Two to three wraps are usually sufficient.
Wrap around the fingers:
- Begin wrapping the bandage from the bottom to the top of each finger individually (except the thumb). Make sure to wrap each finger a few times to ensure good protection and pressure.
Wrap around the hand:
- Continue wrapping the bandage in a crisscross manner over the top of the hand, ensuring that the knuckles are well-covered.
Secure the bandage:
- After wrapping the hand, wrist, and fingers, go back to the wrist to secure the bandage in place. Make sure it’s snug but not too tight.
Fix the open end of the bandage:
- Finally, use the adhesive or the hook-and-loop closure on the bandage to secure it.

Ensure that the bandage is snug but not too tight, allowing for comfortable movement of your fingers while providing sufficient protection.
