I can see you are used to mostly explain live in front of people, that's why you repeat the instructions even if it's not necessary in a youtube video where people can rewind. and id like to say that you are made to be a teacher, great video!
I agree, I appreciate the calm and patient demeanor. A quick question; I haven't gotten another bag yet or gloves (had to sell mine before a move), would it be ok for me to learn with shadowboxing for now? Would like my son to learn with me. Thanks!
Thickus Buttus right I never seen the tow separator things used like that. But it’s kinda a good idea. A lot of people do wrap their hands differently especially with 180 wrap.m, there is way less to do with 108 wrap.
remember when I was younger and threw a left hook on a heavy bag and fucked up my forearm under my wrist because I was too lazy to put on wraps. Always. use. wraps.
Also, you should do a video on how to recover/ways to heal little tweaks in the hands and wrists. My index knuckle is messed up. Not broken I think, but hurts anytime I connect with the bag or pads. I’m going to try wrapping my hands like this next time I’m in the gym. If that doesn’t help I’ll just stick to no impact stuff like shadow boxing and conditioning for a couple weeks.
Thanks man! I started boxing a couple of months ago and I’ve been having bruises and cuts on my knuckles, yesterday i did your advices and my knuckles are fine afterwards!! God bless you man!
For a total beginner like me, this is an awesome video! Ordered by heavy bag, gloves, and wraps and now know how to do a great wrap as I start my boxing-cardio training. Thank you kindly my friend!
I just had a fight in Seattle and I lost. I threw more punches, landed more punches, I got off faster than my opponent, and less damage. Dude was bleeding all over me. Granted I lost 41 pounds in a month in a half. I was 195 he was 230. I box collegiately. The Neveda coach told my coach that i was a good boxer but what I lack is “Showmanship” and “Controlling the center of the ring”. I don’t know if you experienced this before but I feel like it would benefit fighters who are competing.
Congrats on your fight! In your heart you know you won and often that means more. Sometimes judges can be messed up in their perspective. Thanks for sharing.
Plenty of demos on You Tube for hand wraps, most are legit. But this is the best easy to follow instruction I have seen yet. You are a superb instructor, Thank You !
I'm making a video I think you should watch soon. Not one hand Injury because I was taught by Tracy Patterson former 2 belt champ son of Floyd heavyweight champ. Many videos Coming. We're all about Protection short and long-term
JT, I've been boxing going on 2 months and I've been ramping it up and my hands have taking a good beating. Putting the athletic tape on my hands this way I believe will help me. I came to get a handwrap tutorial of a different kind and got more goodies. Can't stress enough how awesome your content is. 👌🏾
Its so interesting to me how there are so many styles to handwrapping. I wonder if you could trace the individual styles to regions or even specific schools?
I remember one time I was boxing on a weight bag when I first started out, and I didn’t wrap my hands bc I was gonna only punch light that day, and at the end I looked at my hands and they were so bruised and messed up and bleeding. DONT WVER THINK ABOUT NOT USING WRAPS
Yo JT I’m a big supporter of your channel bro. I been working out to your boxing audios and your Precision Boxing app. Thanks for the great content man, by far the most informative boxing channel on RU-vid. Peace 👊🏼
Thanks for the videos, man! I'm just starting out at 43 and they're truly inspirational. Wasn't wrapping between my fingers. I'm guessing this is bad for your hands. Also didn't quite get the "roll of quarters" bit. Do i really need to have something soft in my palm or can i just bunch up the wrap a few more times there?
I was pleased that this is exactly the way I wrap my hands minus the under tape. I came up with it myself. I also use more of the extra wrap to create a build over the knuckles.
I'm gunna try this. I always start the same way you did, but I work my way around the wrist back to the forearm first. It's four revolutions back, and then two up. Then I go diagonally between the thumb/pointer finger, and back around the wrist three times. Then three revolutions around the knuckles and back to the underside of the thumb to start going between the knuckles. After every knuckle, I run another revolution around the wrist. I use long wraps, so this gives me just enough to come back and wrap around the knuckles wraps a couple times, and I fasten it on top or underneath the knuckles depending on how tight it is. Main reason I do it this way, is because I have big hands/knuckles and thin wrists. This gives me great wrist support, and I've never had any problems with it. Now that I think about it, the thumb support is probably nowhere near as good as yours is.
Protect yourself, take care of your body. You won’t feel it at 20. At 30, maybe a couple years before that, is when you’ll start feeling all the damage you did.
When I was much younger a coach of mine said: "Don't take care of you, the 20 year old, take care of the 60 year old you". Great advice. I am nor 64 and still going strong.
Thanks awesome my brother. Just punching my half bag. It that ok or long bag. New never box. Doing this to get in shape with jump roping. And to learn how to strike in addition to jiu-jitsu. Again thanks. Reggie.
You ever see Robert Garcia's and Mikey Garcia's hand wrap method? Similar but he does the knuckle wrap first, using the wrap primarily for the top of the knuckles. It's been helping a lot since I have a banged up right hand. Also he uses a sponge(sometimes) and wraps over that.. Thanks for all the advice tho. It's really taking me to another level.
JT - top, top gentleman and pugilist! Thanks for another great video mate. Any chance of a "best 10 tips for beginners training at home" please? Best wishes matey, Chotz.
balancing on your hands is only a first step. You need to progress to balancing on wobbly surface - like one of those half-balls you see people do squats on. When you stand on the fist on a flat solid surface, you're conditioning the hand for the squeeze, but the muscles that hold the fist position are getting a free ride.
@@dvldgz6306 im trying to keep moving as a i jab . Trying to make it smooth movement . I tend to jab as im standing still and that just makes me a easy target , BUT im getting better
What I did to learn the footwork with a jab was practicing taking a step forward then back in the fighting stance. Then start out of range from the bag and step in as you jab. Jab connects as the front foot hits the ground. After I drill that I only throw jabs on the bag and circle around it in both my left and right. Hope it helps
