ringside sells a video/DVD on how to tape hte hands for like $10

[bodhitree]

I think everlast tape (that I saw at the sports store that resembles scrotuum) had instructions with it?

one thing is theres different styles of hand wrapping even in boxing or thai boxing and its different for a fight and for training. eg fight wrapping would be with gauze and tape or thinner wraps than a training wrap. also for training theres a bunch of new products out like the adidas gel things, inner glove\speed wraps etc.

but you asked about hand wrapping for mma now there is a specific way of doing this as the hand has to be able to be used for gripping when wrestling etc so its different to a boxing or thai boxing method. dont know if its on video or the web anywhere though, and i dont actually know how to do it myself...

personally i wrap my hands (or not) differently depending on what i'm doing

[MasterKiller]

Yeah, I'm looking specifically for MMA, preferably using gauze and tape, and showing both with the thumb taped and w/o the thumb taped.

Used to sit backstage at a lot of mixed events: mma and muay thai.
I've seen mike easton fight mma few times out of the lloyd irvin camp.
i believe he had either a normal hand wrap, or a full gauze boxing wrap without the extra knuckle padding.
i have seen folks just use the non-mexican style hand wraps and do a knuckle wrap (nothing over the palm) to fight mma.
and i could've sworn at least one of the virginia shows said no tape on mma wraps.
lemme ask around and I'll get back to you

the first boxing wrap I learned was open palm - you can grip and such with the hands wrapped that way. If I remember correctly, the ringside vid shows the open palm wrap.

Nonetheless, that is not mma specific...

Nonetheless, that is not mma specific...yeah it might just be the exact same way... its definitely open palm though...
