>when putting wraps, you should avoid wasting it wrapping around your palm as you only want to protect your outer handWhy? The purpose of putting on wraps is to tighten you hand as much as possible so you won't bust any of the 28 bones you have in your hand when you punch. Most of these small bones are located in your palm area. Yeah you should obviously protect the knuckles, wrist and thumb, but also your fucking palms.
>>198653>Most of these small bones are located in your palm areaYou're a fucking retard. Palm is the thickest part of the hand & requires the least protection. Using a fist IS the protection for your palm, even without it, palm strikes are much more structuraly stable. Assuming your using the correct part of your palm that aligns with your wrist, palm strikes are almost as safe as punching with a glove. All that + your own picture explains why you're a dumbass. Shit, I would even go a step further and say you only need to focus on wrapping your knuckles if you're experienced and have good form.
>>198654Yeah I went a little bit retarded there. Had to specify I was talking about boxing and striking combat sports. Open palm is best for grappling and in an MMA setting. Can't ague with that. But in a boxing setting, neglecting the importance of keeping the entirety of your hand tight just sounds dumb to me. Your palm bones will be going under extreme stress in every punch
>>198657Bones are meant to be pliable. Boxers fractures, stress fractures, are caused by chronic excessive force. Traditional boxing wrap styles are not meant to protect the palm dipshit. It's so boxers can swing hard & transfer as much force as possible. This wrap style takes the pliability of the metacarpals away. It concentrates the force directly through the bone. This is why boxers fractures are significantly more rare in MMA because the wrap style allows the metacarpals to be pliable like they're supposed to be. Bones are pliable for a reason, bowing slightly lets them throw off some of the force.

>>198709Is that how you wished you looked like? pull your fucking pants up
>>198654Bitch, learn anatomy and mechanics and you will see how retarded you sound. Your knuckles are the most robust part, but the issue is that the metacarpian bones behind them are set up in such a way that when you apply force to the knuckles, that the leverages translate to them splitting appart, which can cause bone and, more importantly, tendon injuries.I can tell you have never punched with all your might ever.
>>198716>this confidently retarded>telling others to learn anatomyWhew is it summer already? My degree is 90% anatomy, you don't know shit. You're not punching so hard your metacarpals are splitting apart. And the tendons run parallel to the bone retard.>>198664I refer back to my other post. Boxers fracture are more common in boxing, despite OP alleging they use the safer wrap.
>>198716>>198732I am taking a shit & had a thought so lemme dump on you some more while I wash my ass with the bidet.>Your knuckles are the most robust partYou're fucking retarded. No matter what style of hand wrap is used, knuckles are the main focus. All the tendons for digit extension/flexion run through the knuckle & are most vulnerable at the joint. Almost all tendon ruptures/impingements occur at the joints.
>>198653that's a jack off hand
wraps are for everything from halloween costumes to ankle injuries lol
>>198653I wrap my palm because it slips off otherwise unless I wrap it way too tight.I have wide palms.
>>198653Only a faggot would wrap his hands. If you're too scared to risk breaking a few small bones, you've got no business fighting in the first place.
>>198653They want less grappling, not more. Average ufc fan wants to watch two guys stand and trade haymakers.
