There are many options for properly tying bandages for boxers. Moreover, these methods are different for professionals and amateurs. This fact is due to the fact that professionals do not tie bandages on their own, which amateurs cannot boast of. Professional boxers are bandaged by their personal assistants. This ensures that the bandages are tied correctly and will not fail at the most crucial moment of the battle.
Instructions
Step 1
Amateur boxers can tie boxing bandages in two ways: with a cross and in a classic manner. The classical style of tying bandages is the most common, as it does not require much effort from the athlete.
Step 2
So, in order to tie the bandages in the classic manner, take the bandage and wrap it around your wrist. Then circle the bandage around the thumb counterclockwise (when looking at the palm). Next, circle the bandage around all fingers (except the thumb), also counterclockwise (when looking at the palm), and remove the bandage under the thumb.
Step 3
Next, wrap the bandage around your thumb and slide the bandage around your wrist. Wrap the bandage around the thumb again, but clockwise so that the tip of the bandage sticks out between the thumb and the rest of the fingers when looking at the palm.
Step 4
Then wrap the thumb again so that the bandage comes out under the thumb on the wrist. Next, slide the bandage through your wrist and onto your thumb. Then wrap all fingers with a bandage (except the thumb). Then fix the bandage. On this, the classic method of tying bandages can be considered complete.
Step 5
The classic way of tying the bandage creates a comfortable feeling for the boxer when putting on gloves. At the same time, even a beginner who has just come to boxing can easily master this method. After you learn how to tie the bandages in the classic manner, you can move on to more complex methods. By learning how to tie boxing bandages correctly, you can protect yourself from injury in battle. Therefore, this moment must be given maximum attention.
