Hand wraps
Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.
category
equipment
plain english
Long cotton or elasticated strips wrapped around the hand and wrist under your gloves.
example
“Wrap up” before gloves go on.
why it matters
They support the wrist and the small bones of the hand. Snug, never numb — undo them if fingers tingle or change color.
common mistake
Wrapping so tightly that the fingers go cold or start to tingle.
