About

What are boxing handwraps? Boxing handwraps are special wraps that secure the hand, knuckles and wrist in the correct position, prevent various injuries and dislocations, help maintain equipment and support hygiene inside the glove. Handwraps are made of a cotton or polyester based cloth tape that is between 2 and 5 metres long and 3 to 5 centimetres wide. The handwraps, which are used in martial arts, are equipped with a thumb loop and a Velcro fastener at the end to provide a secure hold on the athlete's hand. They are recommended to be used regardless of the kind of martial art (boxing, kickboxing, MMA, etc.), both for sparring and for working with punching bags and bags. Why do I need handwraps? The main purpose of boxing handwraps is to protect the hand, knuckles, and wrist. Properly wrapped, it keeps your fist in the correct position and prevents your thumb from getting hurt. The outside of the knuckle is not scratched or damaged. Note! Handwraps are recommended to be worn under a boxing glove, when sparring and when working with punching bags/bags. Thanks to them, your fist will be almost monolithic, and will be protected against any injuries. The fit of the glove in the bandages should be tight, leaving no room for backlash inside. If you use large gloves (14oz or more), or if you have a small hand, it is advisable to compensate for the difference in volume with a longer bandage. They will also benefit you from a hygienic point of view. Bandages are excellent at absorbing moisture that may form inside, helping to remove unpleasant odours and prolonging the life of your equipment.
