The phrase “protect yourself at all times” applies to everything you do in the gym and the ring. It isn’t just referring to your defensive skills, but also the gear you choose. The length of any fighter’s career is greatly impacted by how well he or she remains injury free.
That all starts with how a boxer wraps his hands, the groin protector he uses, the mouthpiece he wears, and boxing head gear he chooses.
Every precaution you take to be safe in the gym and in the ring can buy you precious minutes in your boxing career. One of the most frustrating things for a fighter is to be hindered by injuries that force him or her to have to miss days of training, lay off for periods of time, or not perform at their best. That’s why it’s always better to take any precaution necessary to be sure you can stay in the gym and in top physical condition.
If a boxer wraps his hands well, he will be able to train properly to punch correctly and consistently for long periods of time. Taking the proper steps to learn the right way a boxer should be wrapping his or her hands will help protect over 29 small bones that make up the average fist.
Although good defense is the top priority, it’s also important to wear high-quality boxing head gear. An impact absorbing boxing head gear helps prevent cuts, bruises and, most importantly, reduces the chance of getting a concussion. A piece of boxing head gear that fits properly and reduces the severity of a punch will help you to perform at your best, for a longer period.
Taking the proper precautions, by selecting and always wearing, the best protective gear is part of respecting the sport, as well as yourself.
