If I got new MMA gloves do you wrap your hands?

Question

Im a boxer switching over to MMA and want to know if i should wrap my hand as if i was training for boxing or do you us no wraps?

Answer 1

whatever is more comfortabel to you

Answer 2

if you want better grip probably not, but if u want protection then yes

Answer 3

With being a boxer I will assume you have powerful punches and that punching without wraps you could damage your hands. So I would advise when hitting to wear wraps.

My assumption could be wrong.

Answer 4

you should at least tape if not wrap. It's important to have the fist in a wrap and tape to prevent injury.

Answer 5

There are mixed feelings towards this answer.

Personally, I don't wrap my hands under my gloves.  I feel its too resrictive when I try to grab.  My instructor doesn't either.

But I know alot of guys that do.  Pros also wrap their hands.

You also have to consider this when you buy your gloves.  I laugh at how many people think they can buy gloves, wrap thier hands, and then can't figure out why they don't fit.

This is more of a personal preference question.  I hope my input helped.
