Custom Hand Wraps
Handwraps for martial arts are an essential protective tool for practitioners of disciplines such as boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts (MMA). These wraps provide crucial protection for the hands and wrists, ensuring that martial artists can train and spar safely while reducing the risk of injuries such as fractures, sprains, and strains.
The primary function of handwraps in martial arts is to stabilize and protect the bones and ligaments in the hand, particularly the knuckles, metacarpals, and wrists, during striking. When executing powerful punches, handwraps help absorb and distribute the force, preventing impact from damaging the small bones in the hand. This protection is especially important in martial arts, where repetitive striking and high-intensity training can lead to overuse injuries.
Handwraps also play a vital role in wrist stabilization. In martial arts, proper wrist alignment is key to throwing effective strikes. Handwraps ensure that the wrist is kept in a neutral position, reducing the likelihood of hyperextension or bending, which can cause serious injuries. By providing compression and support, they help athletes maintain proper form and technique.
Typically, handwraps used for martial arts are made from breathable, durable materials such as cotton, polyester, or elastic blends. Elastic or “Mexican-style” handwraps are popular because they offer a flexible, customized fit that molds to the shape of the hand, ensuring comfort and security during movement. Non-stretch cotton wraps, on the other hand, provide a more rigid fit, offering increased wrist support for those who prefer a firmer wrap.
Handwraps are available in different lengths, usually between 120 and 180 inches, to suit different hand sizes and support needs. They are secured with Velcro or hook-and-loop closures for easy adjustment and a firm fit. Regular use of handwraps in martial arts ensures long-term hand health, making them an essential accessory for any fighter.
