Robert Garcia shows us his technique for professional hand wrapping of a boxer, with the difference of wrapping for a fight and for training. Robert, a former boxer himself, knows the in and outs of this important trait of the sport.
As an Orthopedic Technician the hand wrap process isn't much different except in boxing you come above the metacarpal heads. It is important to lay the tape/gauze on as opposed to pulling it along to allow for circulation. To check proper circulation pressure down on the person's nail bed. It should turn white then when you let go immediately return pink. This is an indication the wrap is not too tight.
the WBC WAR tape is incredible and one of the most overlooked products out there. it's not just WAR tape with a WBC logo. if you read the description on WAR's site, it's a special formula that, among other things, is formulated to come off of skin and hair painlessly... and as impossible as it sounds, it actually works. it's easy to rip at the serrated edges with your hands. like the original, it says in place basically forever. anyways, it would be awesome if the WBC made a video covering the specifics of "stacking" aka NSAC hand wrapping rules. Manny Robles did a pretty good job on showing the basics of California vs just about everywhere else in the world... but Nevada is confusing to me so I'd love to see it. Japan would be another cool place.
War Tape always unrolls on me after training Empire is far better when it comes to that. I have gone through multiple boxes of wartape including the WBC branded one in this video. Not only that I live next to Sacramento where one of there offices is based so it's not like anything could have happened to it while it was shipping.
When you're a Professional Boxer at that level, your hands are worth alot of money. You can't afford to take shortcuts when it comes to protecting them.
How do they make these wraps so that you can cut them off and reuse them without them falling apart? I've never been able to figure it out... you can see Mayweather getting ready and putting them on here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pGDThslZ6Z4.html
