Hand Wraps

Long strips of fabric wound around the hands and wrists before putting on boxing gloves. Hand wraps protect the small bones of the hand, support the wrist, and keep the knuckle padding of the glove in place. Wrapping correctly is an essential skill - badly wrapped hands can lead to injury during training or competition.
