Last week I told you how to pick boxing gloves. This week I decide to go on with the how to article. So once you got your gloves, before you put them on, it’s a must to put on hand wraps. Why?

Hand wraps are for protecting you hand. It’s the second protector you need apart from the first, gloves. In other type of boxing like bound-fist boxing only uses handwraps for protection. It helps shield your bones and tendons. More over it will hold your wrist and thumb.

There are many types and styles and colors of hand wraps you can buy. Check out our TWINS MUAY THAI HAND PROTECTORS our store in Protection Gear section.

The hand wraps you’re looking for need to be made from elastic material that will shape your hands and also can let air through, cotton made is recommended. The best lengths you can find in store are from 120″ to 170″ but if the wraps you already got are too long and you have small hands, feel free to shorten your hand wraps a bit. Small sizes are also available in some shops.

Here are some tips:

• Always feel comfortable when you put hand wraps on. If not, rewrap again.
• Don’t wrap your hand too tight and too loose.
• You need at least a couple pairs of hand wraps. They need to be washed quite often depending on how much you sweat.
• You need practice to get used to it. Follow your trainer instruction step by step if it’s your first time. Or keep in touch with our MuayThaiArt.com/weblog because next time I’ll be back with how to use your handwraps step by step.
