Wrist Support: Hand wraps provide stability to the wrist, reducing the risk of sprains or fractures by preventing excessive flexing or bending.
Knuckle Protection: They add cushioning to the knuckles, which absorb much of the impact during punches.
Prevention of Injury: Wrapping the hands helps to secure small bones, tendons, and muscles in the hand, reducing the chance of injury or dislocation.
Better Fit for Gloves: Hand wraps make gloves fit snugly, ensuring less movement inside the glove, reducing friction and skin irritation.
Improved Punching Form: With the extra support and protection, athletes can maintain proper technique, which is critical for effective training and sparring.
