Properly applied hand wraps protect the wrist and knuckles. Here is a simple method.
Hand wraps stabilise the wrist, cushion the knuckles and absorb sweat inside the glove. Without them even moderate training strains tendons over time.
Method
- Thumb through the loop, wrap around the wrist three times.
- Figure-eight across the palm and over the thumb — twice.
- Wrap around the knuckles four times.
- Use the remaining length to cover the wrist and close with velcro.
The wrap should feel snug but not cut off circulation. After training, unwrap and let them dry fully before the next session.
