First of all, this dude is crazy educated when it comes to boxing. Second, he's cool af. It's awesome to be able to come to a place like youtube and talk to a guy like this, even in the comment section. Total legend.

I’m 48 years old and always wanted to box but never made the commitment to really work at it. The content guys like you put out is priceless and most appreciated. Guys like you help guys like me and others to be more proficient, THANK YOU!
Same here - and at 48 a world champion boxer (Ranked No. 3) told me I should take it up. This was the fourth time I was recommended - since the age of 16. Now, almost 60, I have taken it up - and real glad to see this about wrapping my hands.
bro get to it im 17 i wanted to box for a while got a few punching bags and just finally said fuck it and got in the Boxing gym a couple days ago and im very grateful
I'm forty and just started and I can't describe how awesome it is. Plus my son really likes it too and I've been looking for something for us to do together. Never too late to start 👍 my mother is 62 years old and I talked her into it and she's signed up for boxing lessons now.
Would be great if you could do a wrap video POV style. I’m just getting into boxing and it’s been kind of hard learning how to hold the wraps, what fingers to use to hold the loop, how you wrapped around the knuckles, etc… for whatever reason the wraps are just very awkward for some of us. Really need a “how to wrap for dummies.”
The use of intuition is a flawed solution. People who are very new to this have not yet developed the intuition used to tell what is right or wrong effectively, leading to overlooked mistakes and bad habits formed. We need to be taught the correct and effective method so we know what a good wrap looks and feels like. Proceeding with something new on your own is how bad habits are made, preventable injuries that do not teach us are inflicted, and time is spent unnecessarily trying to form an experience base, when you could have used that time developing skills that take a lot of practice instead of skills that can be taught.
A video about all the necessary stretching before training independently would be great. I've injured myself a couple of times because I forgot to do 1 specific stretch that I didn't remember. It seemed insignificant at the time, but every stretch my coach made me do had a particular purpose.
@@Lil_vara Stretching? A lot of very painful injuries are because your muscles and tendons are not prepared for the movement they make. It's not a big problem when you are young, but with time a proper warm up is really crucial to safe and (relatively) painless workout :) Trust me, i'm over 40 and had a few strained muscles in my life;) One of the worst was in my neck :D You then begin to realise how much you turn your head around all day, hehehehe.
@@Lil_vara also, don’t do static stretching before a workout. Because during workouts muscles are contracting. But if you do a static stretch before a workout you are stretching and breaking muscles. So when you start working out your muscles won’t be ready to go from static to dynamic movements and thus lead to strains.
After 30+ years of wrapping my hands, I have finally learned the right way to wrap them. THANK YOU Tony!🙏 And BTW, the rest of your videos are changing the way I approach training and sparring. Fan-TASTIC coaching!
I fought competitively in US national and world competition in amateur full contact Ju-Jitsu, but that was many.years ago. During that time, I did a lot of boxing as well, but not anything sanctioned. I now box for fitness and love bangin in the ring for fun here in Cambodia. Thanks for your fantastic and informative videos! 🙂🙏💪
This is exactly what I needed to see, I just turned 38 and I recently got into boxing for health and fitness, I'm hoping to go into a boxing gym to train and maybe get into some sparring, not looking for game or money, it's just something I want to do for pure fun. My only regret is that I didn't get into this when I was younger. But boxing is so much fun. I just love it and respect it. Thank you for your awesome videos
@@battlefox8460Did you keep up with it? How has it been? Any advice for me, I'm considering starting boxing myself as an old man of 41, obviously just for fun and exercise.
This is actually how they would wrap my hands when I was a teenager and I have been looking for a video for how to do it. The most noticeable thing was the padded knuckles and open palm which just feels great and secure. Thank you for posting this video! Glad I didn't need it years ago because I would have been confused with the other wrapping videos wondering why it wasn't like this video's.
I'm forty years old and I just recently started boxing with my 13 year old son, it's the most fun I've had in years. I still don't really know what I'm doing so people like you making videos like this is just... really awesome. I can't tell you how much starting to do this has changed my life for the better, and it might sound sappy but you doing what you do helps people like me more than you might know. Being able to pay for training isn't really in my grasp at the moment (I could barely afford a pair of gloves and a jump rope 😂). Just wanted to say thank you for doing this 👍
Seems that you re a begginer. Dont ever challenge boxers to have sparring with you especially now you re a starter. It offends them (i am a boxer too)and if somebody accepts your challenge, he will brake your ribs
@@JOHNNYGOX asking for training doesn't always mean sparring. It could be asking for padwork or any 1 to 1 training. Don't make assumptions over the internet pal.
@@Cuttingseason You are a starter thats why you think like that so i dont misjudge you. When years pass away and you still train in boxing you will understand the meaning of my 1st answer
@@JOHNNYGOX maybe in your part of the world where everyone is egotistical, but in our neck of the woods if you get offered some training it's a compliment. 15 years training so far so by no means a "starter" thanks!
Just binge-watched a load of your videos, as I'm just starting out in boxing (at 44!). They're really useful, and I will be using your drills in the gym. It's nice to watch videos from someone who clearly knows what they're doing! Cheers
Could you make a video on a workout for the double end bag please?! I see a lot of videos on youtube about them but I would appreciate if I got expert advice!!
I've tried wrapping my hands in multiple ways before but kept getting hands or fingers aches over time. This method is the one. No more painful hands\fingers since I've been using this method. Thanks Tony !
Much respect to you and your advice. This is the way my boxing gym wraps their hands. The video and instructions would benefit from close ups as you lost me on the thumb section.
I've just started boxing training. But only to get fit, not for competitions. I have so much respect for those who subordinate their lives to this sport and train so hard! Your videos are great please keep it up! Best regards from Germany
I think a stretch video for your shoulders and so on and so forth before you start boxing is an awesome video to make. Or at least the best way to warm up to prevent injuries
That’s exactly what I was doing, wrapping my hands too much around and leaving a very bulky cushion underneath my palm that kept me from clinching my fist and even hurt at times, it’s like you read our minds Tony, now I know, respect from 🇲🇽 my man.
I just tried this method yesterday and it’s by FAR the best and most comfortable way. Especially for knuckle protection. Won’t be wrapping my hands any other way
Great video Tony. I would love to see a video on diets for boxers, what did you do when training, when cutting weight, fight week, dieting but having enough energy for train etc.
Best method I've tried so far. It holds strong after a warm up, heavy bad training and a cool down session. The padding on the knuckles is on point, I hated my previous methods where the palm was unnecessarily stuffed
This is the best hand wrap video of all the internet. Seriously I’ve struggled a lot in the past with hand wrapping myself , I even get injured just because I didn’t wrap my hands properly. But seriously this video save me pain , save me injuries and save me from sore wrist. Incredible video , really thank you for the help. Now I can punch harder and without the scary feeling of injuring myself 🎉. Thanks a lot !!!!. Huge fan of yours
Thanks so much for this video !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 It's not just a demo video, it's full of tips, how and most importantly WHY to wrap in such a way more than any other !! 👏🏻👏🏻
It would be nice if you did a version 2 of this with less in between facts of what not to do and more details about witch direction you go when wrapping the thumb and show some better angles
Finally got around to wrapping my hands like this, feels loads better after years of wrapping around my palm and ending up with loads of padding in the palm. Great content Tony! 🥊
You really are amazing and great tip on the hand wraps. I'm in my 50s and just getting into boxing as an exercise but I love it so much. Wish I started it when I was in my teens. Keep the videos coming. They're great 👍
Thank you! I've been through couple of bad trainers so I decided to just learn on my own. I came across your videos about a month or so ago and you have helped me tremendously. I fight in September for the first time and I most definitely need your shared experience and knowledge.
Just starting training and I am 38. Always been athletic and active but never trained. Gonna go put some work in on my new bag and use your method for the wraps. Thank you!
Great video, thanks champ! One thing that took me a while to notice is that the third time you pinch the wrap through the knuckles it goes in the other direction! First two times between index finger and thumb, last one through back of the hand! It took me a while to realise this but now I can really feel I can punch a brick wall!!
This video changed my life. This method takes a little practice to get right and you'll have to adjust depending on the length of your wraps, but FML this is the best thing I've ever felt on my hands. Thank you soo much for this.
From the bottle of my heart, THANK YOU! Boxning is the only training i like and some of my knuckles is trashed after som bad decisions as a youth. I can train again thanks to you! I've learned alot from your videos so thanks for everything!
I tried your wrap method today. My both hands and i say you thanks a lot. I train over 20 years in boxing as amateur and i didn't know this method. Kind regards from Russia.
Mr. Jeffries. I've been wrapping my hands wrong this whole time. I put your video on .50x and.75x speed, replayed couple parts and after I finished the tutorial I was astonished of how it looks and feels. super pro. I only wrapped my right hand following the tutorial but I can feel the power. My hand feels more free and less constricted, feels more protected on my wrist. I can feel the hardness of the knuckles through the wraps more too. I can feel my fist is a tighter fist and absolutely more fitting to the form of my fist. It also feels like my fist is a bit lighter. It really does feel like I can punch through a brick wall. Thank you Tony Jeffries.
Great video coach! I'd love to see a video on gear recommendations. Who makes quality wraps? Who has your favourite brand of focus mitts to hit and also train people with, etc.
Thank you again Tony. Great information. This looks very efficient with extremely good points to maximize protection, security, and power output into the wraps helping your punches
Damn Tony. I have been (kick)boxing for a year. I tried some many ways of wrapping my hands but it never felt right. This way of wrapping instantly felt right. Thx! You deserves a sub.
I'm very impressed with your hand wrapping method. I've watched the entire video 3-4 times and rewound portions of it many times. Is there any way that you show a closeup of just your hands while doing the wrapping slowly? Although I haven't been able to do your method correctly, I have done the knuckle wrapping portion successfully and it has almost completely eliminated the discomfort I feel when I practice on the body bag. I just haven't been able to get finger and thumb wrapping portions correctly.
This handwrap instruction makes more sense and feels simpler than other handwrap videos where they do an X with the wrap and a bunch of stuff this one just makes more sense to me thank you!
Thanks, I've watched 10 or 15 handwrap videos. Yours is the one that made most sense to me. So I subscribed. You are very good at explaining with reasons and detail. Thanks Kirk
@@c.galindo9639 i notice every time i hold bads at boxing class. I always feel pain on my wrist and albows. Im not sure if im holding it probably or my wrist and elbows are just weak
I would like this as well. Although, a good way is to move side to side while having your guard up. Also, my coach told me to jab jab jab, get your jabs in so he won't keep advancing/being aggressive. Cheers
used to get a lot of knuckle soreness and pain in my left hand after 10-15 min of good work on the bag when I used to wrap my hand with other traditional ways. Pain as in I can push my glove into the wall slightly and that would hurt my knuckles. Tried this way of wrapping for the first time today, went literally for over an hour hitting as hard as I wanted to, and still felt good even after my workout. This is the best way of wrapping, for me at least. Literally made me so happy, could finally get a good heavybag session in without any pain or soreness coming up quickly.
I just started boxing at a local gym. I am 50 yrs old. I really appreciate all your videos. I practice everyday. I started way to late but I am putting the work in to never stop being a great boxer. Thanks for you education, it really is awesome!!!!
No exaggeration. I’ve been wanting to get trained by this man for years. Life just had other plans. He truly is a great boxer. If you know a bit or two about boxing.
key points 3:32 the coach goes the other way round under the palm, watch closely. 3:50 the coach omitted some final points, I think he went around the knuckles again as the wrap looks really neat under the palm.
