Hand Tape & Gauze
Gauze bandages and hand tapes are used for boxing matches and training to help protect the hands. Using hand wraps in the correct way ensures that your hands and wrists are supported, making it easier for you to keep fighting for longer and reduce the risk of injuries. At Geezers Boxing, we understand how vital it is to wrap boxers’ hands correctly, which is why we have one of the largest selections of hand tape and gauze for you to choose from.
Frequently Asked Questions
The tape that fighters wear on their hands is to offer a layer of protection to the hands which are full of fragile small joints and small bones which are prone to fractures. Tape is also often used to keep hand wraps secure and comfortable when sparring or training on a bag.
MMA fighters, wrestlers and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu players often tape their hands as they believe that it will help them to increase their grip strength. The tape is also said to prevent injuries to finger joints and also lower the risk of broken joints during training.
Gauze is traditionally used by professional fighters during both training and competition. Gauze and tape are by far the best way of protecting your hands and avoiding any unwanted injuries. However, it can be very costly as you will have to have new tape and gauze every training session and is therefore avoided by amateurs.
<h2><strong>The different types of hand tape and gauze</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hand tape and gauze have a variety of different types you can buy. Boxing tape can be either non-elastic cotton or elastic cotton. Using elastic cotton for your boxing gauze provides you with greater flexibility and a tighter fit for your hands.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boxing glove tape is adhesive and will stick when it makes contact with your skin. This is perfect for those who want to add some support underneath their boxing gloves, as the tape will not move as you sweat. Hand tape is also easy to wrap your own hands with, though you may require some assistance for the first time to ensure you had the right fit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For many athletes, boxing gauze provides them with the compression and support that they need. The compression allows boxers to hit with greater force, making each punch more impactful. It is also available in individual packets or in large boxes, making it the perfect addition to your boxing club kit bag.</span></p>
