The BEST way to wrap your hands for Boxing/Kickboxing training and sparring

Wrapping your hands is essential if you are training with heavy bags, mitts, or any other type of striking. In this video, Coach Todd from Gym Rat Boxing and Fitness shows you how to properly wrap your hands using 180 inch "Mexican style" hand wraps.

how tight are you wrapping it? REALLY tight? snug? slightly loose?

nice vid by the way.

[Intuexercise]

@alexrules91 you want it to be tight, but not to the point of cutting off blood to your fingers. The whole idea is to make the wrist and hand more stable by compressing the small bones together with the wrap.

[speeddemonld]

the 'best' lol, umm i dont wana sound like a troll or anything but, there is No BEST way, it all depends on the fighter...well thats wut i think :O

[ArtTheRussian]

not low enough on the wrist for me, i really need to support that area more than knuckles

[interista7878]

@vmaisonger Agreed. No wrist support and no compression on the tendons to prevent tendinitis.

[vmaisonger]

Practically no wrist support (which is more important than having an inch of padding on your knuckles).

[powerhousephg]

the way you wrap the thumb offers little support, if any at all.

Now this is the video i was looking for. Thank you

[pacholito24]

To me thats not a good way,you lower palm should be free.This way you are locking you hand,and have nothing to grab when your making a fist.

@JiveDG I like using elastic handwraps. They tend to have more support and hold the hand better.

[wadofist]

Thanks for this vid! Ive been usin mexican style wraps for about a month, but Ive never used them before, the old method I used with them kept cutting off circulation in my hands. This way is so much more comfortable and more supportive!

[mukkohaha]

@speeddemonld wanna bet ?

[speeddemonld]

@mukkohaha nope.

[mukkohaha]

@speeddemonld you meant " it all depends on the hands "

[JiveDG]

Are elastic handwraps better??

[Shaloobee01]

It said staring todd, what about the guy who the hand belonged to?

[NinnessBartle]

I've been looking for a secure way to wrap my 108" and your vid is the best of the lot - when I do it properly (modified because of the shorter length) they stay together well. Big thanks!

[TheAceAmerz]

big thank you!

looking for ones I could do for ages, and this works straight away!

[mytastycakes69]

@j124life you prolly have the 108" wraps lol you need 180"

[j124life]

fuck my hand wrap is not that long lolz

[SillaAnts1]

ty ;)

[hawkman350]

My 350" wraps are the boys.

[speeddemonld]

@ChummyChime

yeah, for you that is.

[ChummyChime]

@speeddemonld

It depends on the hands weakness. If the wrist gets swolen after a hard training, that means the wrist need to be wrapped more but if the knuckles get swolen then the knuckles need more wrapping.

[Singerazboi100]

@alexrules91 Snug would be the answer.

[mates972]

teacher for losers

[giorgosttt]

i think that's very tight...
