Seeing someone who deos not wrap their hands is like seeing someone who does not breathe when they strike. It's retarded. You will never find anyone that knows what they're talking about tell you not to wrap your hands. The first reason to wrap your hands is that it holds the small bones together tight and prevents them from slipping out on impact, which is how the knuckles are broken. The second reason, if you wrap them western boxing style, which is the only way most people know how, is that it protects your wrist.I prefer the Thai style wrap method. If your school is not telling you to wrap your hands then I question how legit they are. Once you know how to punch properly, you will break your hand if they are not wrapped.
Consider that many proboxers such as gatti and Mayweather have broken their hands many times during fights, and thats WITH their hands wrapped and WITH a 10oz glove over them. Remy Bonjasky says he has broken his hands more times than he can count.
If you need to know how to wrap properly, send me a pm.
