In combat sports, protecting and supporting your wrists and knuckles is crucial. At OBEN, we offer a range of premium hand wraps that ensure safety and enhance performance. Here’s our guide to choosing the best hand wraps for your needs:
Why Wear Hand Wraps?
Hand wraps protect your small bones and tendons from the impact of punches, distributing shock more evenly. They also prevent skin tears and reduce the risk of strains, minimizing downtime from injuries. Properly wrapped hands mean you can train with confidence and hit with full force.
When to Wear Hand Wraps
Always wear hand wraps during:
- Gym training
- Sparring sessions
- Official boxing matches
- Solo training, like shadow boxing
Hand wraps help you get used to the feel of your hands, boost your confidence, and enhance your performance.
