On the heavy bag do you wrap your wrists?

Why or why not? I'll give my answer in the update.

So I was recently told that I needed to start wrapping. I responded I don't fight in a ring, I only train for a real fight and you fight the way you train. I won't have time to wrap if I end up in a violent scenario so I train without them. He was all "you'll break your wrists" I said in 48 years of martial arts I have yet to break a wrist in a punch so I must be doing something right." He couldn't argue with that.

Yes, it's stupid not to

There's a reason why coaches yell at you for not doing that

[MicahRaine]

Yes. I'm still building up wrist/forearm strength through other exercises.

[MicahRaine]

@your update you're totally right. If your wrists are strong and you already know how to punch, wrapping does nothing but limit your potential.

Thank you

Nope.

[Agape93]

Never saw a reason. I'm looking to strengthen my arms and hands, and be acclimated to what I'd be doing in an actual confrontaton

[Anpu23]

Me too, I got crap for not wrapping that's why I asked

[Agape93]

That's dumb. Wrapping is just to prevent like abrasions and shit.
