How To: Boxing Wraps

In this instructable you will learn how to wrap your hands for boxing.

1 pair of 180mm boxing wraps. When you're starting off make sure your fingers are spread apart to ensure proper tension while wrapping.

Unravel your boxing wraps and locate the thumb loop. While you wrap keep in mind that your wraps should feel taught not tight.

place the thumb loop over your thumb with “V” flaps facing down against your skin over the top of your hand. Keep your fingers spread throughout the entire process to make sure tension will be taught.

wrap it around your wrist 3 times, on the third time stop underneath your wrist.

Bring it over the top of your hand in a diagonal line going towards your pinky and then wrap around the knuckles three times, stop on the third time underneath your hand and go down diagonal and go back around your wrist.

Go back up over the top of your hand and go inbetween your index and middle finger and wrap around the index finger and go back down the back of the hand in an ‘X’ pattern and instead of wrapping around the wrist again, go straight back up the hand and repeat for each finger.

Repeat for each finger now. Going up and around the hand, (do not wrap around the wrist just yet.) then wrap the finger following that same 'X' pattern for each one.

Once you reach the pinky finger go back up the hand and wrap around the knuckles one more time.

Go under and around your thumb and wrap back up around the wrist to lock it into place.

Finish off the remainder of the wrap by going around your wrist until you reach the Velcro. You should feel your hand is supported but not cutting off circulation and becoming tingly.

Now follow those same steps on your unwrapped hands and then you're ready to put on your gloves and get to training.
