How to reel boxing bandages: instruction
Stage 1
To get started, take a bandage and put on a “hook” for fixing on the thumb. Start winding the bandage from the top of your hand. In no case do not start to wind from the inside, because in this case the bandage can simply fix the wrist badly, and this will threaten you with injury. To understand correctly, look at the picture.
Stage 2
Make a few skeins (two, three, or four) around the wrist. At the same time, make sure that the bandage fits snugly and fixes the hand, but does not pinch it at the same time. Also see that there are no folds of fabric.
Stage 3
Now, lifting the bandage up, make two skeins on the palm of the hand above the upper finger (see picture). Finishing the second turn, go down and wrap your wrist again for better fixation.
Stage 4
Now begin to fasten between your fingers. After you rewind the bandage over your wrist (end of the third stage), put it between your little finger and ring finger, making a revolution through the inner side of the palm. Lock it on your wrist again. In the same way, rewind the remaining three fingers. Make sure that the fabric does not create wrinkles; otherwise, intensive training may damage the skin between the fingers.
Stage 5
After the 4th stage, make several (three, four or five) skeins around the knuckles for their best protection against injuries.
