This video demonstrates how to wrap your hands with short 116" hand wraps. Hand wrapping provides extra support for your wrist and knuckles so that you can get the most out of your boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai workouts without injury.

To wrap your hands, place the loop around your thumb and start wrapping around the back of the wrist. Wrap around the wrist 2 to 3 times. Next, wrap around the thumb to protect the thumb joint then once again around the wrist.

Go up to the knuckles along the back of the hand. Wrap around the knuckles 2 to 3 times. Finish by making an X on the back of the hand as you go back down to the wrist.

Repeat the X on the back of the hand and wrap the knuckles 1 or 2 more times. Finish by wrapping around the wrist and securing.
Watch me showing Bex from Bex Life how to wrap this way.

quick question. when do you use short wraps vs. long wraps?

[trosanelli]

@billywitchdoctor100 - It mostly has to do with comfort and protection. If you knuckles hurt from hitting the heavy bag, it's time to go to the longer wraps. I find the short wraps are fine with a floor standing wavemaster, but not enough protection for a hanging heavy bag.

[owner009]

woah you didnt individually wrap your fingers.

[trosanelli]

@owner009 - Check my our video. This is for short 116" hand wraps.

im no expert but looks like your loosing some circulation in your fingers (they are turning white)

[trosanelli]

@icywytesoljas - HaHa! You are very observant. How could you tell the difference from my normal whiteness. LOL! This video took about ten takes. It was difficult to hold my hand still so it didn't leave the screen. My hand was going numb from holding it in the position for so long.
