Traditional Muay Thai Hand Wrap.mov

Easily the most Frequently Asked Question in Muay Thai, given the multitude of handwrapping techniques out there. Many of those techniques are boxing inspired, and therefore wrap the hand according to a boxing style punch. A boxing style punch is thrown in a different way than Muay Thai, and those protects the fist in a manner not necessarily conducive to a Muay Thai punch.
That being said, I decided to ask the man himself, and capture it on tape.

Take the information with a grain of salt. This video is only one method out of millions. As a student, I implore all you to compare the result, not the philosophy. For me, Ajahn has produced the best Muay Thai fighters in the western world in the last 20 years with this method, while other philosophies cannot boast the same. The path to follow to me therefore is clear.

I'll choose to do this way first, and understand later.

Think--how many of us would wrap up before a street fight??

The hand wraps therefore should be as non intrusive as possible, without causing permanent damage to the limb. Yes the knuckles will be calloused and blistered, but over training that will change. Broken wrists, do not.

and the only Thai trainer to create the amount of international Muay Thai champions (Clifton Brown, Simon Marcus, Matt Embree)--all who started out as STUDENTS. Some of this video can be interpreted as Traditional Muay Thai, but also as fundamental Muay Thai as taught by Ajahn Suchart.

His philosophy of Muay Thai is rooted in combat: To create as much damage as possible. Which means a punch should be learned with as little protection possible(because that is the reality of a basic punch)

Not necessarily high velocity. Many times for students and beginners, they rely on high velocity to generate 'power' only to end up using the wrong portion of the wrist to make contact.

You notice that there is not much knuckle coverage, that is because a good bag glove protects much of the knuckle, and the most vulnerable bones in the hand are in fact the wrist.

That being said, the truth is, there are many truths and are often rooted in context. Ajahn Suchart is the owner of Siam No.1,

Hello all, I think it's best to understand that 'traditional' doesn't always mean 'historical'. In this case, 'tradition' is best understood as 'fundamental'. The way Ajahn wraps hands is for learning, and not necessarily the same for competition. In the classes, thinner bag gloves are used instead of boxing gloves so that the student can feel for themselves what portion of the hand they are using to punch with (two major knuckles) and that the force relies on proper punch technique--
