One of the most important traits of a trainer is to know how to wrap the hands of his fighter, Manny Robles shows us his technique with 2 options of materials and the other they are applied.
I love learning new wrapping techniques, I personally use competitive wrapping for my son’s, and daughter even in the gym. Being that boxing is 90% mental I want them in fighting mentally as much as I can. They even wear their mouthpieces when they are on the mitts and bag.
Came here after watching naoya inoue handwrapp video. Filipino fanboys complaining all over the internet. They said too much tape and also tapping before wrapping. This man teach understably in easy language. Thanks coach
He's doing that to make it tight and secure the pad from the sides as well, not just from the front of the hand. It makes sure the pad doesn't move from side to side. It's brilliant. Never seen anyone else do it like that before.
This is a technique from Rodeo. It is indeed to secure the pad better and avoid it from shifting from the knuckles. I first saw that twist from my mentor in college and it was used by bull riders to secure their wrist/hand. I am a certified athletic trainer and have used the twisting technique anytime I have to secure any type of gel pad to the hand for example in a Football lineman. It works really well.
