Boxing matches are held in the ring, which is a square in the form of a square with side lengths of five to six meters. On all sides, the "battlefield" is surrounded by several rows of ropes, stretched tight enough between the four corner posts.
According to the rules of boxing, it is allowed to strike only with the corresponding part of the fist. They are committed with great power and do not spare the opponent at all. Naturally, for such strokes, it is necessary to use means to protect the hand from a variety of injuries. Protection is provided by special boxing gloves, as well as bandages correctly wound around the wrist.
How to bandage hands is usually shown for the first time to an athlete by a trainer. This procedure must be done. Since the human hand consists of small bones, which are rather weakly fixed to each other by the ligamentous system (for better joint mobility).
Boxing involves systematic blows with both hands on the head, shoulders and torso of an opponent. With constant blows, the fists are subjected to strong loads, so it is very important to compress them correctly. The bases of the phalanges of the middle and index fingers withstand the greatest loads upon impact (compared to other fingers). Therefore, it would be wise to strike them.
For boxing, it is completely normal that bruises and sprains occur regularly in athletes' daily workouts. The most serious injuries are usually for beginner boxers. Then, that they still do not know how to bandage their hands before the fight. Moreover, the young athlete does not know how to choose vulnerable and open places on the body of his opponent.
Insufficient clenching of the fist, its incorrect position, blows applied to the solid parts of the opponent’s body (such as the forehead or ribs) are the main reason why boxers get serious injuries to their hands. After receiving such a mutilation, sometimes one does not even have to talk about returning to the big sport or one has to undergo an intensive course of treatment and recovery.
It is necessary to start practicing blows on special shells or mannequins, but before that, ask experienced craftsmen how to bandage their hands correctly. See the outline below for a good example.
Having bandaged the brushes in accordance with the provided picture, you will be sure that the joints will be tightly tightened, and this will largely protect your hands from damage. It is best to engage in bandaging yourself, since in this case it will be possible to feel well how much you need to pull the brush with a bandage.
Do not over tighten the fabric, otherwise the hand will become sagging due to impaired blood flow. With a slight tightening, the bandage can slip right during training or fighting with the enemy, and, accordingly, this bandage will not protect against possible injury.
Now, knowing how to bandage your hands, you can safely begin boxing classes. Having studied all the rules of this sport and choosing the right equipment, you will be aimed at winning the match.
