Videos and/or explicit instruction on hand wrapping for boxing

Question

Either my instructors explain the hand wrapping too quickly or I'm just too dense to understand the explanations, but I'm still (after a month!) having a hard time wrapping my hands/wrists. I feel like I'm not doing a great job. Part of the problem is that everyone has a different way of doing it. Can someone point me to resources (YouTube, written explanations, etc.) of how to wrap hands for boxing? I'd be especially interested in deviations that are designed to give extra padding to certain areas such as wrists or thumbs.

Thanks,

Dave

Answer 1

Here is a good description of how to wrap your hands:

Answer 2

The club I go to has a video on YouTube and their website (http://inthiscorner.ca/2012/05/05/how-to-wrap/). It takes a bit of practice to remember, if you aren't training frequently you may want to practice wrapping for a few days in a row to fix the process in your memory.

If you are looking for extra padding you can always modify the method to suit your needs. If you have good, long wraps you should have enough material available to give you some flexibility.

Answer 3

Wrap your wrists first, then pass it over your palm, between the index finger and thumb and then go around the thumb and between each of your fingers, like in the following video:enter link description here

You'll know you've done it right when your wrists feel solid and your hand closes into a semi-fist on its own when relaxed.
