3 EASY ways to wrap hands for boxing, MMA, and Muay Thai 

This dude’s voice is incredible.

So I am hitting the bag last night and I said outloud, 'I need to wrap my hands better.' Are you listening Dewey? Lol

I've been told that my skill set suits having my head bandaged rather then my hands....

Great info. Thank u. After washing and drying my wraps I roll them up "backwards" so the thumb loop is on the outside. This way I don't have to unroll the whole thing to get started. I just unroll it as I wrap my wrist.

#1 : very good metacarpal and small bones support but less knuckle cushion. Greatly lessens metacarpal injuries but knuckles might get sore quickly #2 : enough bone support with great knuckle cushion. Recommended for thinner gloves. Also good for power shots. But not recommended for sparring as you might feel too comfortable in giving out powershots. #3 : simple and fast, but less bone small bones protection as the wrap did not go between the fingers meaning if you punch too hard, the entire bone structure will have to absorb more force . Not recommended for power punches. But pretty ok for sparring. Based on my own experience between the different wraps. I often use #1 because i seem to not have very strong bones, i need that extra support, but i love #2 when i am so into smashing the bags with powershots. #3 is not suitable for me, my hand just got slight injury before .

I always wrap my hands before wearing gloves just to soak in some sweat. Keeps them gloves fresh. :)

No wraps during sparring. Probably the most important thing I learned from this video.

All these time we put sponges for the knuckles because we thought we wouldn't feel them through the gloves that way. I never considered not wearing wraps on sparring. And you're one of the few to emphasize protecting your sparring partners not injure them. Thanks

Thank you for ALL your vids Ramsey, especially this one! 🤩 I like that you showed 3 different wrapping styles! As a new student of Muay Thai/Kickboxing, literally my first week, now I no longer have to laugh and cry while wrapping my little hands! 😂😭 Thank you! Your biggest fan from Texas! 😍😘😎👍

I might have said this once twice or three times coach you're one of the best you know your business sir

I thought I was the only person to wrap my hands like the second method! If you want to make that method give even more protection and use less wrap you can fold that beginning section in half lengthwise

Im glad you showed a wrap style that is focused on the wrist. Everyone seems to focus on the knuckles. My knuckles never hurt. That's what gloves are for.

Wrapping your hands feels like trying to learn to tie your shoes, there are so many different ways to do it but only a few are the best!

I love these methods and you have demonstrated each in a very good way

Thank you for the super helpful video!! This is the first one I’ve done that the thumb wrap part doesn’t feel loose or too far up on my thumb.

Have never done that,but could definitely see the advantages of taping up your hands before a fight,especially if it strengthens the wrist

could you do one video on boxing gloves, especially how the fit should feel, fingers and palm's placement in the glove and how to choose a good pair?

I do the last method and I'm glad it's legit because I was just wrapping and hopeing no one notices how lazy I am.

Wonderful instructional video thank you for sharing

Fr this is the best video I’ve seen from the top 10 I’ve watched. The rest are either too quick and confusing, or they are too dumbed down and slow

Pleasantly surprised to find I've been doing it right.... cheers!

Thanks for the tips! I'm a bigger guy and I'd like to get into boxing as a fun way to help me slim down. My family has an old punching bag in the garage that I'm gonna start wailing on. I appreciate all your videos!

Well done and said.

Thank you Ramsey. NEVER GIVES UP. Osu...!!!

I didn't know I needed to see this. I've MMA gloves and now I know how to wrap for them... Thanks!

Thanks for the tutorial wrap the hands is important for rists and hygiene in the gym.

Thanks a lot ramsay, i just started muay thai and this helped loads.

Excellent tutorial and advice 💥🥊

Thank you so much i just started boxing

that helped a lot thanks just gettin into boxing feels good to know mywrist and knuckles will ne saafe

thanks.. gonna try the first one

God, That Hand Wrap is Fucking *PURE PERFECTION* I was wondering how to wrap it this way, Thank you Ramsey Dewey !

Man you should make some merch. Id love a shirt with some cool cartoonish art on it😄

thanks coach

Great video as always! But for method number 2 I found that wrapping it around my fingers then removing it to place it on my knuckles afterwards make it a tad easier to wrap around afterward. It gives the same results but as a begginer it feels less wobbly. Sorry for the syntax, I try my best as a frenchie😁

Thank you kindly ☺️

Thank you for this !

I use a variation of #2. I like it.

wow, two minutes in and already a dislike. Someone is a dedicated Ramsey Dewey hater. Also first comment!

That voice though. Smooth AF.

Thanks buddy

that was super informative

Awesome tutorial Ramsey! Wraps are super important for wrist and hand protection

IMO always wear wraps to protect your hands, even when sparring. But make it safer for your partner by getting bigger (+16oz) specialised sparring gloves

Thank you

Cool. Helpful. Wise...

Holy shit, i just bought my wraps 2 days ago and now there's your video damnnm

Number one scares me. Protecting the thumb, foremost knuckles and the spaces in between is always my greatest worry. But for bag training or fitness classes it’s prob ok. Also glad to see I’m not the only one who loads the knuckles with 4/5 wraps

thanks

started boxing a couple of months ago (3 ish). tried 1 and 2 but just doing 3 now, cant be fkd with the other ones x) also, sick voice! movie trailer!

No hate, but when I put my thumb through the loop, I go over the BACK of my hand because if you go under the hand than it will become loose as u fight

If my life is ever made into a book, I want this guy to be the narrator. It's between him, Morgan Freeman, and Samuel L. Jackson.

And here I was just about to search youtube for the best way to put on wraps when I saw the notification that you had a new video on your channel. What's your opinion on using ankle wraps for bag work?

👍 Nice!

Now I know, thanks😉

Watched the video just cause I am curious how ya do your wraps. The 2nd one almost was the same as how I was taught. Dont know why but that extra padding on your knucles just feels good 😀

I was told by one of my first trainers that gloves are there to protect your knuckles. Wraps are for wrist and metacarpals. So I use 16 oz gloves for everything.

Thank you so much for this, Ramsey, I’ve been struggling with wrapping correctly for months!

i was sitting there staring at my wraps and wondering if i was wrapping my hands incorrectly. and then this video came up lol. youtube algorithm living in my head

Great voice

I've been doing the 3rd one (bag work only), I'm going to try the 2nd one but I've got 3.5 meter wraps so I'll have to see if it works

Thanks for the help Coach! I’m always confused when it comes to wraps. Quick question, would you ever make/design your own gloves or wraps merchandise? Thanks again Luís.

Great

Thanks for showing the regular wrap AND the "Heavy Hitter" or heavy bag wrap. The basic wrap is also a good idea because some beginners get intimidated trying to do the regular wrap and this is a good first step. However... I STRONGLY disagree about not wrapping your hands for sparring, even light/technical sparring. Most of the wrist strains/sprains or finger problems I've seen come from people who don't wrap. I don't think that wrapping gives you "a pass" to hit your training partner like a ton of bricks either. You need Control with or without wraps.

I have a suggestion for the next fantastic fiction fight scenes series you do! It’s from a very recent fighting anime called Kengan Ashura. The fight is Ohkubo vs The Fang, and there’s a great deal of juijitsu and grappling involved in the fight and id love to see you break it down.

I like your t shirt, any link to buy that?

This guys voice reminded me of Isaac frost from fight night champion and I got flashbacks and jumped and looked at my door

He's some kind of pirate angel. Like Thor.

I wish u were my boxing coach

ultrA SUper nice

At last!

Yo, for the next Fantastic Fictional Fight Scenes explained you should check out Kanoh Agito vs Okubo Naoya from the series Kengan Asura. It has a great grappling sequence.

Thnx, never considered removing them, sounds logical. Is it a big difference on impact? And how about wrist injury?

Comments are good for the RU-vid algorithm.

One question Ramsay, why do you end the wraps near the forearms and not somewhere like the wrist?

What is the best way for Muay Thai gloves, please? I have Yokkao Matrix gloves for bagwork (I also have yokkao hand wraps)

I need this guy to read an audio book to me..

Bruce Buffer hires Ramsey for voice lessons.

Nice video, good information. I have a question for the coach or for any commenters. Is there a particular way to wrap your hands when using wraps with little or no flex in the material? The pair I have support my wrist just fine, but my knuckles will often be torn up to the point of bleeding after a heavy bag workout.

So what do you generally wear while doing Bag work? This might be a stupid question but that's because I don't train currently. Also, what about when sparring?

hey, so i got a question... Been following you for a while and love all your stuff. You have several videos talking about sparring and whatnot and I just started training muay thai recently, and had my first sparring experience a couple weeks ago. I got a couple minor injuries: took a knee to the chest resulting in a contusion, and got a nasty leg kick to the left thigh. Couldn't walk on my left leg very well for 48 hours and couldn't run till the following wednesday (sparring was friday the week before), and my ribs are still bothering me a little (a full 2 weeks out), though pain is definitely no longer a hindrance. The ribs hurt like CRAZY up until about tuesday or wednesday following that sparring session, though. I have never had bruised ribs before, so I think I mostly just didn't know what was happening to my body and it was a little scary. There was no visible discoloration around the ribs, and the thigh only displayed discoloration for the first 24 hours or so after the injury was sustained. My question is: do these injuries, in your opinion, sound like they are reasonable, or more than I should be incurring from sparring? I got my chest x-rayed and nothing was broken, just internal bruising, and my leg definitely just had a knot in that thigh muscle for a while but it rehabbed fairly easily. I'm hopping around like a spring chicken now. However, I did kind of feel like I got into what you might call a full-contact sparring session without doing any touch or light-contact sparring first. It seemed like people were going a little harder than I expected they would. I got my face punched a lot with my head snapping back and had a slight headache afterward, in addition to the other stuff. I know i'm a newbie so a lot of this might just SEEM a certain way to me, though my judgement of how "appropriate" things are may not be accurate, and my defense is absolutely terrible. I'm not afraid of experiencing pain, but I want to make sure I'm being smart and preserving my health as much as possible, so I just wanted to share the injuries I sustained with you and see what you think just based on that since I trust your views based on your content. thank you for makin all the stuff. 👊

Is it important to wrap in-between the fingers if not using gloves? I heard the only reason to do that is so the glove doesn't slide the wrap off the knuckles

I remember you saying once that you are going to make a video about evelation training masks. Is there any possibility it's coming soon? I really want to hear your opinion about it.

Hey Ramsey, I've seen several speed bag instruction videos and all seem to have a different way of hitting it. Could you share some light on that?

Do you wraps for heavy bag work? Or gloves? or bare hands?

I saw someone say it's better to start the first wrap going behind the hand so it tightens when you close your hand. Also I've been looking for that video where Ramsey slaps on 4 submission holds at a time was it deleted?

WHERE can I get that shirt (or something) he is wearing........ I need that ASAP

Coach how about a video on foot wrapping?

*What do you think of the KSI vs. Logan Paul fight tomorrow?* I'd like to see you react to the Boxing Match

can you do one for belts too?

stay protected guys,always put the wrapper on

I was just curious... tried the 1st one. It's like 80 percent similar to how I wrap mine.... felt slightly more solid than usual but I've been wrapping my hands the same for 10 years. Don't fix what isn't broke. Good informative video though.

Someone hire him for voiceovers asap!

thank you, my grandma didn’t stand a chance

i notice nobody ever explains keeping your fingers spread thats important

Hey Coach, what is your opinion and view on Lethwei? And do you think headbutts should also be legal in mma?

hey Ramsey, i have 2 questions sorry for being greedy. 1. i have been training for a while now judo ,kickboxing ,bjj and now mma i am wanting to get more serious with MMA and debut in a few months, my conditioning is my biggest weakness but i am only able to train 2-3 times per week (at a Class) and the rest i have to do on my own in a relatively small amount of time, i already strength train but what would be the most effective way to condition at home in say 30 minutes, every day? i have a heavybag and some kettlebells and weights and a rope if you would incorporate any of that. 2. i work a manual job. if im feeling tired should i push myself to train or should i get some rest so i can have a more effective workout later, i tend to have trouble in figuring this out, somtimes i will just grind myself into the ground and then crash and then ill be lazy and keep saying ill do it later. wheres the balance beetween sustainable training and pushing yourself to excellence.

Hey Ramsey you said in one video that Jowad Mahmoudi (i hope it's spelled right) is taking notes on sparring. I'm currently in Thailand training at a muay thai gym (just started out 2 weeks ago) and I want to take notes too but i have no idea how to take notes about martial arts in an effective way could you make a video about this? P.S.: Thank you for getting me to start with martial arts and stop smoking drinking and doing drugs...keep going!

İ have a question for coach how can you put somebody in any kind of submission that has like a really strong and firm posture

Holy shit I didnt know Kratos had a youtube channel
