The foundation of safe boxing: An introduction
All boxers, amateur to pros, acknowledge that the foundation of safety and performance lies in their hands. When it comes to combat, hands are considered a player’s asset. Before one prepares for a game, there is one essential piece of gear that stands between a strike and resulting painful injury: Boxing hand wraps.

Hand wraps support your knuckles hence stabilize your wrist and small bones of the hand, allowing you to maximize your power in performance without getting injuried

When to use?
The habit of wrapping your hands ensures maximal protection and preparation at all times no matter if it's a drill or a technique practice. So, during all kinds of impact training, including but not limited to, bag work, pad work, or sparring, it is advisable to wear hand wraps as an initial layer of protection.
