wrapping hands

[RightCross94]

i dont, i use regular handwraps, but then again my hands are very good, never had an injury or break and i havent been fighting very long, in the future i will probably start using gauze and tape, but its so damn expensive it definitely wont be until i need it

does anybody use gauze and tape to wrap there hands during training? or is it mostly pros that just do this

180" mexican style, properly wrapped, is more than enough for working a 100lb heavy bag, when used with some 10oz+ (more often 12-16oz) bag gloves. Ive never seen any amateur train in person with the gauze/tape. For me it seemed that starting training (idk...9~ years ago id say, i was 15 and it was more for fun) with crappy velpreau 108" wraps, half decently wrapped helped strengthen my wrists/knuckles while attempting to develop a decent punch or two. Heh, even though i prob ruined the wrist training already the year before trying to do the same thing bare knuckle.....bloody knuckles/rolled wrists, not advised. But hey, the better the wrap to suit your punch power/technique/style, the longer you can beat that heavy bag.
