When boxing its important to wrap your hands properly. The intention is to protect the knuckles, hand and wrist from the impact of punching. Firstly create the knuckle pad. This is the main area of impact. Fold the pad in two to double up the protection. Lay the pad across the knuckles and secure in place by wrapping the bandage tight up against it. ALWAYS GO ACROSS THE BACK OF THE HAND. NEVER ACROSS THE PALM. Go across the back of the hand to wrap around the wrist. Go back down between each individual finger and back to the wrist, taking the bandage between the thumb and index finger, back across the back of the hand to the wrist. Finally wrapping around the thumb, and securing with the velcro around the wrist.

This is a tutorial on how to wrap your hands for MMA or Thai Boxing. apopandagumshield.wordpress.com It’s an open palm variation I learnt when out in Thailand, similar to the tutorial on YouTube that Daddis has uploaded which is the best tutorial I’ve seen so far. The open palm variation works well for people who wear wraps under MMA gloves cos it’s easier to work with when grappling. I’m using a 5 metre elasticated ‘Mexican’ hand wrap by MTG Pro. You can adapt it if you have smaller wraps. I know most people who wrap their hands use 3 metre wraps which work well if you’re using smaller gloves, especially 4 oz MMA gloves. I use ’5, 4 , 3 , 2, 1′ when wrapping my hands with a 5 metre wrap. It works as 5 folds for the knuckles, 4 times round the knuckles, 3 times around the wrist, 2 times round the thumb and 1 time through the fingers and round the wrist. You then bring it up from the wrist and around the knuckles again twice, back to the wrist for a half wrap and round the plam then finish at the wrist. Remember to keep the hand flexed when wrapping otherwise it’s going to be too tight and will cut the circulation off to your fingers. It can be a little tricky but practice makes perfect. I’ve wrapped my hands hundreds of times now so can pretty much nail it every time. Except when under pressure in front of a camera as you’ll see in the video! Thanks for watching!

I’m writing something and I would like a character to take a pocketknife (because it’s all she has) and slash open a man’s wrist because he is trying to rape her.
DESCRIPTION OF STORY TO EXPLAIN CIRCUMSTANCES OF MAN’S INJURY (DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO, JUST SKIP TO QUESTIONS)
He is on top of her and has his arm over her neck, wrist upwards and beside her neck/head (because he is only using his forearm to keep her pinned). She grabs for the pocketknife in her pocket, flips it open, and reaches up beside her head, her arm bent upwards sort of (think of the shape your arm makes when you cover your ears) and she forcefully pulls the knife downwards across his wrist. It does not cut his hand off but does make a somewhat deep cut (though not too deep because after all, it’s only a pocketknife). Immediately, mere seconds later, she grabs for a phone and calls 911 (as it is her current, high school boyfriend and she is terrified that she did wrong, that he will die). The ambulance comes and takes him to the hospital. He does not die. The girl tried to wrap his wrist with something to stop the bleeding while she waited for help to come.
QUESTIONS (PLEASE READ)
That’s what happens in the story (though it is written much more descriptively and interestingly) and I am wondering if the boy could fully recover from something like that? The character plays football. If you have your wrist cut can you recover and recover well enough to play again? Also, if you can, how long would it take? How long would it take for the cut to heal, and also how long for it to regain the strength to play sports again? Or even how long for it to be strong enough to just do every day tasks like drive, pick up a glass of water, open doors, etc.
I tried Googling it but couldn’t find anything on the recovery of the wrist itself, only on the mental recovery of the cutter.
Anyway, thank you for any answers.

Yes, I am. But I’m only fourteen so usually when I ask questions for help I don’t say that I’m trying to write a novel. Because the answerers think “Oh no, not another little teenage snot who thinks they have the talent and persistance to write a book.” Plus, personally I hate seeing questions in the Books&Authors section (my home on Y!A) asking for help with plot lines.
You don’t have to be a be a pro boxer to train the way boxers do. Now you can use real boxer’s secrets every time you do a boxing workout – at home, in the gym or anywhere. First, learn correct stance and footwork, next your single punches – jab, cross, hook, rip etc – then build them into combos or “punches in bunches”. If you use correct technique you are using the right muscles – core, legs, abs – and you’ll get twice as fit in half the time.

Okay so I was at basketball practice yesterday and I tripped and fell over someones leg and landed on my wrist. I’m not sure of the exact way I bent it, but it hurt it. This was towards the beginning of a 2 1/2 hour practice. I played the remainder of the practice with little discomfort to my wrist. Not to say that there wasn’t any pain, but it wasn’t that bad. This morning I woke up and my wrist is in more pain. It only hurts a little if I straighten my fingers, but it hurt much more when I twirl it in circles. It also hurts when I try to make my middle finger touch my wrist. I have a basketball game today and tomorrow that I do not want to miss. It’s 10:30 A.M. here and the game is at 6:45 P.M.. My team needs me and I’m one of the best players. I injured my left wrist, and I’m right handed and my shooting arm is my right. Should I still play? Meanwhile I can ice it 20 minutes on 20 minutes off. I could also wrap my wrist in an ace bandage to play. What do you think I should do?
www.myboxingcoach.com – Before we start, take notice of this golden rule; never, ever hit a punch bag without appropriate hand protection. Don’t even be tempted to have a little pop as you walk past the heavy bag. The damage that you can do to the hands if you don’t have them well wrapped and protected with gloves is immense. I’m not talking about nasty little cuts and abrasions here (which cause frustration in their own annoying way), I’m talking about disintegrated knuckles and shattered metacarpals, damage so grave that the hand is permanently disfigured and will never function to full potential again. There are a range of options available when it comes to hand protection, none of which are going to break the bank, so there’s no excuse for avoiding pain and problems. In this short five minute video, I explain exactly how I’ve been protecting my hands for more years than I can remember by using boxing hand wraps. Hand wraps are a more modern progression of the old fashioned crepe bandage. Hand wraps consist of very tightly woven fabric and are available in a range of colours. Hand wraps are specialised pieces of kit designed for combat sports such as boxing, Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). They include a loop or ‘partial glove’ at one end (to provide the anchor point to wrap the hands) and a Velcro fastener at the other end, allowing a speedy application. Wraps tend to provide a higher level of protection than crepe bandages, and would not ordinarily require …
