i really feel like i can put my hand straight through a brick wall
after this hand wrap on this video i'm going to show you how i wrap my own hands
and i would argue with anyone that the method that i'm about to show you is the best way to
wrap your own hands to have ultimate protection ultimate efficiency so you can train even better
without getting injured all you need is a 180 inch hand wraps that's got some elasticity in
it which means it's got a little bit stretch in it i had 106 fights in my 17-year competitive boxing
career winning seven national titles an olympic bronze medal a european gold medal undefeated
professional boxer i've tried every method to wrap my own hands and this like i said is the best
quick shout out to terrell gordon for asking me this message in the comments below where he asked
how i wrap my own hands guys if you've got any questions you want me to answer any videos you
want me to make please leave them in the comments below i read every single comment and i'll try and
make as many videos as i can so you start off with the end where you've got the loop for the thumb
but we're not going to put our thumb in this loop what we're going to do we're going to wrap this
around our fingers like this we're going to spread our fingers and wrap it around a few times and
i'm sure you're thinking well why we don't protect our fingers there through boxing well it's not for
that what we've just done there we've just created a nice piece of padding that's going to protect
our knuckles then we're going to put this over the front of our knuckles we're going to pinch it with
our thumb then we're going to hold it and wrap it in here and do one full wrap around the knuckles
to keep that piece of padding what we've just put on there secure now a lot of people when they're
doing hand wraps they're wrapping around and around and around and what that does is puts lots
of padding on the bottom of the wrap there which why because we're not protecting underneath here
it just makes it harder to make a fist so we've got that on there now we're going to go around
and go around and protect the wrists now depending on how big your hand is depends on how many times
you go around the wrist if you've got a bigger hand less times around a smaller hand obviously
you can go around more times around if you've got wrist problems i've done a full video on how
to protect your wrists click up here and check that video out after you've watched this video
so i went around the wrist a couple of times now what i'm going to do i'm going to go around
the thumb again if you've got sore thumbs you'll go around the thumb multiple times i'm just going
to go around there once so now i've protected the knuckles the wrist and the thumb i'm going to come
around the back of the hand i'm going to come up next to the fingers now i'm going to pinch
this in here and go through the fingers i want to keep this thin as it goes through
the fingers because the only reason why you put hand wrap in through your fingers is to keep this
piece of padding in place so when you put your glove on it doesn't peel back and reveal your
knuckles so i've pinched that got it thin through there now another thing what people normally do
they'll come all the way down the back of the hand after here now here's the trick we don't
go down the back what we're going to do we're going to come in between the fourth finger and
the thumb like this then we're going to go around the back of the hand this is keeping this palm
open here at the end of this video i'm going to show you exactly why we do this now from there on
the back of the hand we're going to go in between the index finger and the middle finger come around
again pinching it keep it thin then from there through the forefinger and thumb around the side
back around the back of the hand and now what you're going to do we're going to go in the last
in between the last one the fourth finger and the big finger there and again we're going to
pull it down pinch it thin go around the back and bring it around right there now what we've done
we have protected the knuckles again the thumb the wrist but we've put the padding in place we've got
a nice and secure right there if your hand wrap has got a velcro strap like this you want to
secure the velcro strap right on your joint here the velcro strap obviously is thicker than the
hand wrap so what that does it makes it even more secure so you can't really move your wrist so much
there now we're going to do this is done we're going to turn the hand around and see this area
here we're going to kind of took this bit of wrap here underneath and open up the palm the palm is
fully exposed this is also great if you're doing like a cross training session while you're doing
boxing in the battle ropes or you're doing kettlebells because it keeps the grip there
as well and also it gives you kind of like a little ball to hold onto to make a tighter fist
so that right there is how we can do a great hand wrap if you want to go one step further
you're going to get some of this white athletic tape you're going to wrap this around the wrist
and it'll look like this now what this is doing this is just putting extra protection on
make sure when you're wrapping around the wrist you keep your fingers spread because if you've got
a fit tight fist there when you do open your hand that expands your wrist and it'll feel too tight
so keep your fist you keep your hand wide open go around the wrist and then from there you can come
up and around the thumb again if you've got sore thumbs this is a great way to protect your thumbs
and then finishing off around here around the front of the hand right there now that
right there is the best way to wrap your hands i really feel like i can put my hand
straight through a brick wall after this hand wrap and like i said i would argue with anyone that
there's not a better way to wrap your own hands than this way right here if you enjoyed this video
