A solid pair of hand wraps are an essential piece of kit for any fighter. They help you to maintain the correct striking distance, protect your hands from damage under heavy punching bags or sparring partners, and also to provide a greater feeling of grip on the bag.
So what length should you get? This is something to take into consideration before buying your wraps. What matters most is that they are tight enough to offer the necessary protection but loose enough that you can strike with power. All wraps come in different lengths but generally, 100cm or 120cm are ok for short people or children. You can tuck in the excess so it doesn’t get in the way during training.
Hand Wrap Length:
I recommend the length of hand wraps that you need for sparring and training is based on the level of protection you need. For a high level of protection, I suggest you get hand wraps that are 2m long. This is because the wraps will have to be rolled up so you can’t use them all. You will have to keep them rolled up so you can use them again.
As a beginner, I would suggest you get a pair of hand wraps that are 100cm long. This will allow you to have all your wraps rolled up and ready for training. When you are sparring you can take out a 100cm wrap and have it ready to go.
When you are doing striking training, you will want to roll up the wrap and use the remaining length. You can use your other hand to hold the hand wrap or have someone else do it for you. It will take a little practice to get used to it, but you will get used to it quickly.
Hand Wrap Width:
The width of your hand wraps also depends on the level of protection you need. If you are training for combat sports, you will need to train with the wrap snug around your hand. This means that you need a small width. For striking, you will need a wider wrap to provide a greater striking surface.
Hand Wrap Weight:
Hand wraps come in different weights. I like to use a 50g or 60g wrap for my students. This will help them to get used to the weight of the wrap and help them to practice punching with it.
I also like to use a 100g wrap for sparring because it will give you a larger surface to hit. You can also use a 150g wrap for a larger target area and it will give you a more powerful strike.
How long should my hand wraps last?
This is entirely dependent on the individual. In general, if you train regularly, your hand wraps should last you about a year. This is the best length of time for a pair of hand wraps to last, as after that you’ll likely start to lose grip and the hand wraps will be too tight. This is when it’s time to replace them.
How tight should hand wraps be?
The first thing to remember is that your wraps are there to protect your hands. The main function of your hand wraps is to prevent damage to your hands. This means that the wraps need to be tight enough to prevent any damage.
However, it is important that they are loose enough to allow you to punch. If you use your wraps too tight, they will cause damage to your hands. If you use them too loosely, you won’t be able to punch.
When you are practicing with your wraps, I recommend that you start with them tight. As you practice, you will get better at striking and it will be easier to punch with the wraps lose. If you want to improve your striking, I recommend that you use the wraps for about a year. After this, you will be able to punch with your wraps lose and they will last longer.
How often should I change my hand wraps?
You should change your hand wraps once a week. If you’re only training once a week, you should change them after a month. If you’re training twice a week, you should change them after a month.
What is the best way to wash my hand wraps?
You should wash your hand wraps in a washing machine, with a light cycle and no detergent. You can also use a dishwasher if you want, but it’s not as effective. Hand wraps need to be washed on a regular basis to ensure they’re kept in good condition. If you don’t wash your hand wraps, they will dry out and lose their grip.
Are hand wraps safe?
Hand wraps are very safe. They should never be used to protect your hands from getting injured or broken. If you’re looking for protection, there are other products that can be used.
Are hand wraps harmful to my hands?
Hand wraps are not harmful to your hands. They will only harm your hands if you don’t wash them properly. If you wash them properly, they’re harmless.
