How to properly wrap hands for MMA.

[@charliec9720]

I've been wrapping and cornering for over a decade. I'm always looking for better ways. This by far is my favorite tutorial. Beautiful and effrctive wrap.

[@richie_completefightercare]

Thank you Charlie 🙏

@@richie_completefightercare I’ve only found your Channel today and found every video amazingly informative, I’m only a Fan of Boxing and MMA but it’s still great to know How and Why a Corner does things, this video I found was brilliant, although I’ve seen people wrapping hands before, I’ve never watched it from Start to Finish and being explained How and Why they do it? Thanks for making the other videos too, I found them all brilliant! 👌👏👏🫡

[@asesinodezombis2077]

Fantastic wraps. Very professional, clean & neat. I agree...using premium material gives the fighter a mental boost.

Best explained video ever!

[@matteigtch1625]

His should have the most views for how to wrap hands.

[@DAVIDANDREWSPTUK]

This was one ☝️ f the best videos on Handwrapping I’ve seen Question, I’ve noticed in the UK coaches use the finger tape from the top and in the US they pull from underneath? I feel from underneath it pulls the knuckle padding back from the fist. I suppose it’s up to fighter Again, amazing video mate

[@richie_completefightercare]

All the cutmen I know come from underneath, but as long as the wrap is comfortable for the fighter its entirely up to you.

[@rosendoortega8717]

I def was on the right track from other videos I've seen but this was much more detail, just small adjustments to make

[@JackBailey_]

Really good video bro love ur voice too lol

[@loslolloslolollos]

Hello Sir! Very good video! I just have some things to say from my personal point of view. If you x cross the pattern and go directly under the thumb, you loose stability in the wrist! After an x cross I always go around the wrist again. The knucklepad I always measure from the fighter who gets wrapped, in my opinion it makes no sense to use my anatomy if the fighter has a complete different than my own! If you adjust the knucklepad it is maybe also a problem with the main stability and comfort. In the most pro fight it is just allowed to use just 1 roll of tape for each hand! Mixing is not allowed in many countries. I also use long stripes to protect the wrist by itself. But this is one of the best explanation video about handwrapping ever! Big respect

[@Jaan-cs4rs]

Thank you for sharing! Excellent video!

[@lightworker4512]

Great instructions. One suggestion is to hold the roll the opposite way so the gauze coming off the roll is already on the body part being wrapped.

[@richie_completefightercare]

You can do it that way, I don't choose to do it one way or another, it's just the way I picked up the roll at that time.

[@donaldlyons180]

great instructions

[@josatekirakabu6805]

Informative video..🤛👏👏👏

[@MultiFindus]

good stuff! i had no idea about how it all will be checked by the organisation. i like the behind the scenes things you never see on tv. How long does a wrap take when you don't have to film and explain every step? thanks for the videos. have a good week!

[@richie_completefightercare]

About 7 mins

[@aticktko1]

Super cool 😎 thinking about the fighters

[@chaddawson7652]

Please make a video about the procedure in choosing the right pair of gloves for a heavyweight championship boxing match. Also show the max warm up and stretching and shadow boxing a fighter does before getting in the ring! Great Video! Ps: maybe you can also show how to apply oil or Greece to a fighter, even though it’s illegal a lot of guys I boxed would use warming oil in the dressing room to help break a sweat before going out, it’s kind of like hot baby oil about an hour before the fight and then sweat enough where it could not be seen by ring walk time... Great Stuff

[@gavinsreid]

Great video. I love the new stuff but this is golden. Ive been wrapping hands for a few grass roots boxing & mma shows and this is a big help i.e. explaining why you should do the cross at the back of the hand instead of just doing it. Is this the exact same as how you do wraps for MMA or do you use less around the thumb?

[@IslandFightLeague-qv7dl]

How long is the roll of gauze you use? Is it around 10m per hand or 10m for both hands?

[@richie_completefightercare]

10m per roll per hand, although you can also get 15m rolls.

[@oldmangolf4209]

Thanks for making the video mate. After just under 12 months as a cutman/hand wrapper I always come back to this video if I need a refresher. Would be great to work alongside you one day 🤞

[@richie_completefightercare]

Thats great to hear mate, where about are ya?

[@oldmangolf4209]

@@richie_completefightercare I’m based in Brisbane. Started working the local shows here last year with Pete Hickmott and Peter Allen. Absolutely love it as well.

[@Dean-Marshall]

When using 9 Oz MMA training gloves for amature can I skip the knuckle pad? There isn't enough room and there is already plenty of protection.

[@richie_completefightercare]

For training absolutely, but you might want to have a look at your glove size, not glove weight.

[@HaiderAli-ue8tw]

Coach how can we wear gloves after this bandage it's not so huge for MMA lil gloves?

[@richie_completefightercare]

The idea is to have the wrap fill the glove, so you'll need to adjust the amount for the person, some might need more and some less.

[@DavidHernandez-mm6zb]

Great video thanks, do you also wrap boxers same way with the exception using the thicker knuckle pad obviously 👍🏽

I’m back to this video. I’ve been wrapping my hands with this gear for a while now by myself. I got a good deal on a bulk order of tape and gauze. I’m running out now. Just wondering where u got your ufc tape from. I would like to try it out

[@richie_completefightercare]

I work as a cut man and hand wrapper for the UFC, so I had a roll in my bag. You cant buy it.

1 inch zinc-oxide-tape

[@anarchy5721]

I feel like all good cut man after they retire slips automatically be able to apply as somone that is able to wrap a cast for a broken arm 😭

[@carloskingasmr6529]

in Australia they make it 1cm away from the knuckles I saw my buddy fighting in Australia and the cutman said here in Australia it's 1 cm away

[@richie_completefightercare]

G'day mate, I'm in Australia too and you are correct, most rule sets just state that there is to be no build-up of tape on the knuckles, so you could tape right up to them. The main reason for staying back one inch is to eliminate any chance of an argument. the last thing you want to be doing is arguing rule sets with the opposing corner and the commission as your fighter sits in the chair. Most rule sets call for 1 (one) inch back from the striking area (knuckles). But again, depending on the rule set and the commission you might even be allowed to tape the knuckles.

[@carloskingasmr6529]

@@richie_completefightercare i also must say i found this video is very informative and as a boxer myself i can use this handwrap myself BTW I will share this fantastic handwrapping tutorial

[@mr.oceanman9816]

Where could I even buy this tape

[@richie_completefightercare]

eBay or just ask at your local boxing gym where they get theirs.

[@Mowgli_ll]

When we foght we just buy tape and gauze from walmart

[@rim5588]

I've seen people reuse this, is that possible?

[@richie_completefightercare]

I would not recommend reusing something you could not wash mate.

[@fabiant5446]

How many meters of gauze (including knucklepads) and tape do you use per hand? We‘re about to start a private event and we wanna know how much material we need. Best video!

[@thomasshannon4980]

If ur using standard 5cm x 10m gauze then you would use nearly all of it for an MMA wrap including your knuckle pad made from the gauze. For boxing you would need about a roll and a half. And for tape you would usually get about 3 or 4 hands wrapped with it. Empire Pro are a good brand for all the kit for wrapping hands I recommend looking at them

[@fabiant5446]

@@thomasshannon4980 10 m per hand or for both? Thx 🙏🏻

[@thomasshannon4980]

Would you say it’s possible to do it yourself?

[@richie_completefightercare]

Manny Pacquaio famously tapes his own hands.

[@gordoguyrealheated]

I remember when I had my first fight in the cage.

[@arturoyjr]

Awesome… now cau do that wrap to where the fighter can reuse it for boxing I think they start wrapping the hand with the tape up side down so when they start with the guages it sticks to the tape and when it’s cut off at the wrist it won’t unravel. Not sure on all that tho. 🙏

[@richie_completefightercare]

I've seen those too, but I'd not suggest reusing something you cannot wash.

Why not use canvas wrapping
