During boxing fights and practice sessions, a
pair of boxing gloves is usually used as it prevents injuries and cuts from
your hands and lets you practice and fight in a better way without getting
hurt. But even when the gloves are on, your hands get somewhat damaged and your
grip does not improve too much. To overcome the flaws in the gloves and to
perform even better with firmer grip, you need to use hand wraps inside your
boxing gloves. It will add to the cushioning of the gloves and fill the empty
spaces in the gloves which reduce your grip and prevent you from making the
best use of your gloves. Hand wraps can be found easily in stores and markets
and are not priced too high. But buying the wraps is just the beginning and
using them to appropriately wrap your hands is a completely different story.
The steps to wrap your hands are not difficult but must be followed with proper
care and focus. Here are the steps which you must follow if you want to get
your hands properly wrapped.
·
Make an
‘X’ shape on the back of your hand by wrapping diagonally from thumb to little
finger and then from below the little finger to index finger. At the end, your
thumb will be enclosed in between.
·
Now start
from the index finger and circle the wrap around your knuckles and lower half
of the four fingers.
Now bring the wrap down from the index finger to the wrist (below your little finger).
· Now bring the wrap from below the palms to your thumb horizontally.
· Now encircle your wrist horizontally.
· Now wrap the lower half of your thumb.
· Now bring the wrap from below your thumb to your little finger diagonally.
· Now wrap the lower half of all your fingers, but don’t wrap the thumb.
· Now bring the wrap to the wrist, use the remaining hand wrap to encircle your wrist and then finish the wrapping process.
These are the 9 simple steps which you need to
follow if you want to use hand wraps in a proper way.
