How to Wrap Your Hands for Boxing
Before a punch can be thrown in training, your hands must be wrapped properly.
This is an essential aspect of boxing training. Wrapping your hands correctly provides protection and allows punches to be thrown with full force without any risk of injury; whether it’s on pads, bags or in sparring.
