So many people share different ways and different equipment to wrap your hands for boxing training. I’ve tried them all so here is the best boxing hand wraps and technique.
Key points for hand wraps
There’s some things most people can agree on that are important when wrapping your hands.
Length
Most hand wrap manufacturers come in 1 of 4 different length 108 inches, 120, 180 and 200. Realistically, for adults 180 is a good place to be, anything less will likely not provide the needed protection and anything more will feel excessive.
Material
Cotton blend is the preferred material when looking for the best protection when wrapping hands for boxing and other combat sports. This is due to the material being breathable, flexible and allowing a snug fit, but without restriction.
Velcro closure
The addition of Velcro allows users to wrap their hands easily and quickly but also allows ease of tightening/loosening and removal. Almost all wrap systems incorporate Velcro in their design.
