Have you tried looking it via google? If you have and still haven't found a way to do it correctly, see if you can find an issue of Inside Kun-Fu magazine, June 2000. There is an entire article dedicated to handwrapping properly. Maybe you can go to IKF's website and archive the article to see if they have it on-line with the pics.

Taping your knuckles just to hit the heavy bag seems like a lot of time and wasted energy. Wraps are more than enough.

I'm thinking that he is actually referring to wrapping. If so, here ya go:

this is only one method of wrapping, as there is no one correct way. different trainers do it different ways. there are things common to each method, however.

I use the faitex method of wrapping hands it is on this following page

http://www.fairtexgear.com/images/instructions/instructions_2101.pdf

it doesn't tell u how many times to wrap the knuckles, wrist, thumb so heres wat i do with a 180 inch everlast handwrap

5-6 times around the knuckles

3 times around the wrist

2 times around the tumb

these numbers r just examples of wat 2 do, depending on ur preference u may wish wish one less or one more wrap in a specific area, i have large hands so for many of u it will require more wraps to use all of the length up

[Jeffp412]

oh my apologies, u want to use tape, ummm.... i don't know how 2 do that, but if u wrap ur hands with a handwrap, many ppl still use tape in between the fingers and other areas, also another great idea for a hard puncher that hurts his hands is 2 by a regulat dish sponge then cut it to size and tape it on his hand, then but on a wrap over it
