Anyone do Taekwondo on here?
Just started doing the above and my instructor says to get some hand wraps.
I don't particularly want to have those as I can't be arsed putting them on. Any one know of an alternative?
Meant to ask my instructor but he run off before I could grab him

One of my good friends is in his 5th week at the Shaolin Temple kicking bottom and waving big sticks after running up mountains 
Not sure if that is kung fu or tiekwandough but before he went away I knew I could duff him up but now I am not so sure... I will look at his latest pics on facebook and see if he is wearing mittens...
Seriously, I haven't a flippin clue

something like these would do: Black Fingerless Bag Gloves - UK Sports and Fitness: - UKMAO
he wants you to get this: Hand Wrap - Top Ten Gel Shock Quick Wrap - Martial Arts Equipment Shop UK – Pad-Up! Martial Arts Shoes, Punch Bags, Martial Arts Sparring Gear, Martial Arts Uniforms
look at the fingerless ones here and see if you can see the difference...
! Martial Art Arts Bag Gloves punch bags Hand Wraps Suppliers UK
as in none.
what you want are basically a pair of lightweight bag gloves.

even when i did it (sooooo long ago!) there was a worry when you started on breaking stuff. You get the odd knuckle going pop or some muppet leading with the second knuckles rather than flat.
Plus if you're doing the one / three step sparring the odd.... mishap may occur
step, block, counter, whoops!
My 'problem' was that I was also being shown techniques by mates doing other martial arts and I'd sometimes forget which bit went with what. This all kind of came to a head when we were told "try out anything you think might work" and I ended up throwing a guy clean across the room....

Hi Scooblou.
I train taekwondo currently and use both wraps and fingerless gloves.
If you need to support your hand / wrist then wraps are ideal. i just bought a pair to help with breaking. If you have a weak hand / wrist wraps will add stability to your hand, protect your knuckles and support your wrist.
Fingerless gloves are ideal for a bit of protection whilst training/ breaking.
You could wear wraps under your gloves as well if you want the protection + support.
cheers
Paul

You've just started and they already suggest hand wraps?!
Did 7 years kickboxing, and several national competitions (with some good results) and never wrapped my hands. Gloves yes. Wraps - for gays.

Shirley if you were fighting in competition your hands are wrapped like a boxer? I Thai box and hands are wrapped like a traditional boxer. I wrap my hands even for pad work because otherwise i bruise my knuckles, but that maybe because I'm a punch hard?Then i leave the blue oyster club
